Mold

What mold are and where they come from

Mold — is a biological threat, regularly encountered by residents of apartments and private houses across Moldova. Fungus on walls, ceilings and corners due to dampness. Spreads by airborne spores.

Most often mold enter the home in one of several ways: from neighbours through cracks, ventilation and shared utilities, from the street and basements, with food, furniture or belongings. Once established, the problem grows quickly, so it is best to react at the first signs.

How to spot it in time

Early detection saves both money and nerves — treating a light infestation is always cheaper and simpler than fighting an established population. Watch for the characteristic signs:

• Dark or greenish spots
• musty smell
• peeling wallpaper
• damp corners.

Why they are dangerous

Causes allergies, asthma and chronic respiratory disease, destroys finishes.

That is why mold are not merely a household nuisance. The longer treatment is postponed, the higher the risks to health and property — and the more expensive the final solution becomes.

What works against mold and what doesn't

Store-bought aerosols, traps and "folk" remedies can reduce the visible numbers, but almost never destroy the source — nests, eggs and entry routes remain. The infestation returns within a few weeks.

Professional treatment solves the problem at its root: the whole area is treated, including hard-to-reach zones, with products matched to the situation, and if needed the cause — excess humidity or poor ventilation — is addressed.

Seasonality and prevention

Pest activity: year-round, peak in the damp season. This should be considered when planning treatment — at peak season the infestation grows faster.

To keep mold from returning after treatment, control access to water and food, seal cracks and crevices, keep the kitchen and bathroom clean, and check items and food brought into the home. A good service always gives prevention advice tailored to your specific case.

When it is time to call specialists

If you see mold regularly, if your own remedies show no result for more than two or three weeks, if the infestation affects several rooms, or there is a risk to children, the elderly and pets — that is the signal to move to professional treatment (mold treatment).
