Hey guys... ive moved the pigs into the spare room wich is right next to the bathroom and has mould under the carpet in the corners... the whole house is falling to bits and the landlord is doing nothing about it... the last thing i want to do is put my piggers at risk so i was wondering if it will kill them living in a room with mould in there?

thanks :)

EDIT:: I think my room has mould too :-\ the whole bloody house probably does too...
 
Hi love i'd be really careful as mould has 'air borne' spores so it could affect you, Mum and the piggies :o :o
Can you keep them away from the areas as much as possible keep them elevated off the floor and perhaps a really good vacuum and clean often.
Hope this helps i'm not sure what else to say :(
 
Yuck! theyre on crates and boxes elevated off the floor... also theyre like in the middle of the room but against a wall... I told mum this house sux ;D god i hope it wont effect them :-\
 
mum said todayshe was goint to saok the mould in bleach or somthing... so ill definatley be putting the pigs outside for that but hopefully it will kill the germs and i can know for sure thereisnt any mould in there ;D
 
:) yup she sure is :smitten: Just wondering how long after the bleach is cleaned up do i have to keep the pigs outside?
 
You can actually buy a mould and mildew spray and it is really good i used in the flat where we used to live just make sure the windows are open cos it stinks but dries very quickly If you can keep on top of it you should be ok

YOu can get it from supermarkets and wilkinsons
 
Ditto, yes make sure no smell at all, even use a fan or heater in room to dry out or dispell the odours before the precious ones come back in :smitten:
 
My old flat had a mould problem I sorted it with vinegar which is safe for piggies ;) But I scrubbed it with bleach first. The vinegar will kill the spores of mould. There is a a paint that you can treat mould with too warning though not safe for piggies and you would not be able to sleep there for 24 hours.
