Re: MOLD OUTSIDE

That's the best place for it. Keep as much of it out of your house as

much as possible.

Also a lot of people think green moss is mold. Its actually a plant.

Although woods see a lot of plant decay, etc, which are often caused by

molds, I have never had problems in woods anything like the ones I have had

in moldy buildings. Perhaps its that the air is SO much less confined or

that the molds are different types?

The kinds of molds that spore tests show on outdoor and indoor sampling are

usually very different.

I'VE DONE TAPE TESTS ON THE MOLD ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY SECOND HOME.

STACHY,ASPERGILLUS/PINICILLIUM AND A FEW OTHERS. OM THE FIRST HOME IT

STARTED SHOWING ON THE OUTSIDE OF SOFITS AND FASIA FROM THE ROOF

LEAKS , THE ROOF WAS SO STEEP IT RAN DOWN THE RAFTERS. IT TOOK SEVERAL

YEARS BEFORE IT STARTED SHOWING. DRYS UP WHEN SUN HITS IT AND IS HARDLY

NOTICEABLE. BUT DONT BE FOOLED, IF IT'S IN YOUR OUTER WALLS IT

EVENTUALLY GROWS THROUGH AND SHOWS ON OUTSIDE OF HOME, SHADY SPOTS WILL

SHOW IT BETTER.

When you say 'outside' is it possible it's on the grass or

leaves/dirt? Because there are fungicides you can use to get rid of

them. These fungicides can be used on wooden chips too.

Yes it definitely would be where it's shadier and cooler on the

outside of your house.

Have you actually seen the mold or just smelled it? Is it on wood or

wood products?

I ask because I've had my house remediated so I'm somewhat familiar

with the problem.

I HAVE A BIRD FEEDER STILL HANGING ON MY FRONT PORCH OF MY SECOND HOME

AND QUITE OFTEN IT GETS COVERED WITH BLACK MOLD, WHICH IS VERY CLOSE TO

WHERE I NOW KNOW THE MOLD PROBLEM IN THE HOUSE STARTED. ALSO I READ

THAT WALNUT AND FRUIT TREES AND IVY CAN CAUSE MOLD PROBLEMS OUTSIDE AND

ARE NOT GOOD TO HAVE CLOSE TO THE HOUSE.

JANET, I DO TOO. LAST YEAR IT WAS BAD DURING HAY BAILING SEASON AND I'M

IN TOWN, IT WAS ABOUT FIVE MILES SOUTH BUT THE AIR PLUMES WERE ZAPPING

ME.CORN FIELDS WHEN IT STARTS TASSLEING SOME YEARS ARE REALLY BAD

DEPENDING ON TO WET OR EVEN TO DRY A SEASON. ALSO IF IT RAINS FOR MANY

DAYS IN A ROW AND STAYS CLOUDY. FOR A WHILE I LIVED IN A HOUSE

SURROUNDED BY TIMBER AND DURING THE SPRING IT RAINED SO MUCH I COULDN'T

GO OUTSIDE BECAUSE THE MOLD SMELL FROM THE TIMBER WAS WIPEING ME OUT.---

Barb are saying you are seeing a lot of mold outside in your grass/

lawn too? And are you saying you are seeing more mold outside too

yourself?

SORRY, THE MINUTE I POSTED THIS I REMEMBERED I DID TWO TAPE TESTS

THAT DAY AND THAT WAS FROM THE OTHER ONE. ANYWAY, THE ONE DONE ON THE

OUTSIDE OF THE BRICK PART OF THIS HOME SHOWED SOME OF THE SAME TYPES

FOUND INSIDE THE HOME, BUT THE SUN HAD CAME OUT AND IT WAS DRYING UP

SO IT DIDN'T HAVE ALL THE SAME ONES FOUND INSIDE. WITH SEVERAL RAINY

AND CLOUDY DAYS THE MOLD WOULD GROW HEAVY ON CERTAIN AREAS OF THE

OUTSIDES OF THE HOME WHERE IT IS ALSO BAD INSIDE.

I'm not trying to be a smart alek, but if you're allergic to hay

(mold)and timber, then you should not be living where you are right now.
