Mold Spore

Mold flourishes in dark, damp places which are poorly ventilated, and in areas where water pools. Moisture and warmth can accelerate the growth of dormant mildew spores on most surfaces. Once the area of mold growth has been identified, a mildewcide should be used to kill the mold spores, and an inhibitor used to prevent regrowth. Modification such as increased ventilation and proper drainage should be undertaken to discourage mold growth. Molds accumulates in house dust from two sources: either as outdoor spores that have entered the home, or as mold growing within the home environment. Proper filtration can help prevent mold from entering the living quarters. Air conditioners and vent openings are prime locations for trapping molds at point-of-entry. Room air cleaners are helpful in removing airborne spores. Units with heating elements to kill airborne mold spores can prevent their spread. A tight-fitting face mask is important for preventing the inhalation of mold spores when doing yard work and basement cleaning projects.
