Pebbles lodging in wheel well - rubbing disks

I'm a new FIT Sport owner. Have always loved Hondas but have never had this issue before.

Recently the road I live on was resurfaced. Now I get tiny pebbles lodged in my wheels and they rub against the brake discs. The noise it makes is excruciating - yet I'm glad it happens so I can stop and dislodge the pebble before too much damage can be done.
And, so far, its only happening on the front left wheel.

Anyone else have this issue? Is it common or just me...so back to the dealer I go?

is it like stuck between the black metal cover and the brake disc?

if you can push it out with a pick or something that would be good,
but eventually they will fall out.

if you can, see if blasting some water on it work or not (just hose
water).
