Cool items in nature that are the color black: flowers, bats, volcanic rock; uncool items in nature that are the color black: mold. Mold grows in many shapes, colors, sizes and in some of the most inconvenient and unsightly places. Black mold specifically can easily take over and claim your environment as its own.

Mold has a very versatile way of traveling, spores can be carried into your home by opening a door or window to let a cool breeze in or you could even carry them in on your clothes or shoes. Fido the dog or Mittens the cat may even carry those pesky spores in with their fur or paws after time spent out in the yard.
