Seventy Percent of Homes Have Mold Living Inside
Indoor mold creates havoc with breathing and can lead to severe respiratory problems. There is a solution, according to Ray Buchko, Owner and President of PestAgon™ Termite & Pest Management, Inc., a 23-year-old Sarasota, Fl. based pest management/environmental company.
Sarasota, Florida (PRWEB) March 30, 2006 –
In a recent survey, it was shown that over 70% of all homes have mold living inside. This startling statistic shows how prevalent and misunderstood indoor mold is today. PestAgon™ serves Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties.
“By using a naturally occurring mined mineral, borate, professionally known as Mold/Bora-Care®; which is an inorganic material we can eliminate the majority of mold spores”, Buchko stated. “Borate is delivered inside the wall voids through a small injection point, diffuses into the wood and lasts forever, only getting more effective with age”, he said.
Buchko, an expert on mold detection and elimination, studied mold remediation techniques through the Indoor Air Quality Association’s (IAQA) continuing education programs.
Molds produce allergens, irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances (mycotoxins). Inhaling or touching mold or mold spores may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Allergic responses include hay fever-type symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin rash (dermatitis). Allergic reactions to mold are common. They can be immediate or delayed. In addition, mold exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of both mold-allergic and non-allergic people.
According to Buchko, “Having mold in the home is a major health risk and everyone should be aware of their air quality indoors for the sake of themselves and their family. We will continue to search for new and improved ways to reduce and eliminate this unseen enemy, returning your home back into a healthy environment.”
