Serra Mesa Pets Create Conditions Favorable for Mold Outbreaks?

5/7/2024 (Permalink)

We are trained and certified to restore mold outbreaks in San Diego.

Do you know that pets can indirectly contribute to mold growth in a home? Our local Mission Valley East team restores mold outbreaks every year in Serra Mesa. Here are some examples of ways pets can contribute to mold outbreaks in a home:

Wet Fur: Pets that come in from outdoors during rainy or damp weather can bring moisture into the home on their fur. If they lay on carpets, furniture, or bedding while damp, it can create an environment conducive to mold growth if not dried promptly.

Litter Boxes: Mold can develop in and around litter boxes if they are not cleaned regularly and if there is poor ventilation in the area where they are kept.

Food Bowls and Spills: Mold can grow on leftover food or spills around pet food and water bowls if not cleaned up promptly.

Pet Beds and Toys: If pet beds or toys become damp and not properly dried, they can grow mold.

Pet Habitat: Mold can develop in habitats for pets, such as terrariums for reptiles or fish tanks if they are not cleaned regularly and have poor ventilation.

While pets don't directly bring mold into the home, their activities and the care items associated with them can create conditions conducive to mold growth.
