First, let me tell you right up front. I do not change the oil in our cars often enough. Heck, I do not check the oil levels when I should. And my teeth? I hate to go to the dentist.
The reason I tell you this is that I admit there are things I do not do when I should. I remember those things when I am called in to a home where the mold could have been taken care of before someone got sick. Every mold professional has put off something other than mold until their little problem has become a big problem. A client should not be embarrassed to call the mold specialist when a problem has gotten bad. Everyone has “been there and done that” in some part of their life.
These are some of the most common reasons that there are delays in seeking professional help.
The truth is, just like I wait too long between oil changes, delays do happen. Mold professionals know that, understand that, and we will do everything we can to get you back in shape with a healthy home. You can be assured of our providing a judgement free zone.

Confusion and high pressure hocus pocus explanations are not good business practices and not what you will receive when working with us.
Mosquito Terminators and Envirospect join the March of Dimes in requesting your support for federal funding to continue to educate the general public on steps they need to take to stop Zika from gaining a foothold in the continental U.S. Funding for research to avoid the serious birth defect of microencephalitis is also a critical need.

Prepare a Plan for Disaster
A natural disaster or serious world event could leave us unable to pick up our cell phone and find our families. Massive power or communication failures are no longer only a possibility in science fiction. These failures have become a possible means of terrorism.
It takes moments to plan locations for a family to meet if communication systems fail. There should be a local place and one outside of the area. It could be a landmark or the home of a relative. It takes moments to discuss and decide where to meet if things go terribly awry.
Create an Emergency Kit. Food, fuel and light are critical for survival. Take a moment and consider all of the items that will not work without power and create an alternate plan. The best resource for creating emergency kits is www.Ready.gov. They have many sample lists designed for a wide range of needs such as families, seniors, businesses and many other groups.
Without electricity, the Automatic Teller Machine will not spit out money into your hand no matter how much money is in your account or how many times you ask. Keep some cash on hand in a safe place.
Take a pictures or a video of your home's furnishings and its contents. It is a reality that disasters can occur in any home, even yours. It could be a fire, flood or major theft, but each of these disasters require documentation of the home and its contents for insurance recovery.
