I have heard that both zinc and copper strips work Dennis.  I was unaware that you had the problem too.  That is good information.  I am learning where in the country the problem is and isn't!

Dennis and Jay, you lost me on the strips. Where do they go? Exposed on shingles? ???

Usually tucked under the ridge cap with most of it exposed.  the rain water slowly dissolves the metal and washes it over the shingles.
