Where They Stay, Recommends Mold & Germ
Expert Phil Fry
Winter visitors to Arizona should inspect and decontaminate their snowbird residence,
mobile home, hotel or resort room, or recreational vehicle to protect themselves against
mold and germ-based diseases, advises Phillip Fry, Certified Environmental Hygienist
and Professional Industrial Hygienist.
Montrose, MI, December 04, 2014 -- “Winter visitors to Arizona can get seriously ill by
spending their snowbird visiting time in a mold and/or germ infested residence,
apartment, resort or hotel room, mobile home, or recreational vehicle,” warns Phillip Fry,
Certified Environmental Hygienist, Professional Industrial Hygienist, and webmaster of
www.arizonamoldinspection.net.
“At least half of the places where snowbirds spend the winter have serious mold and
germ problems, often hidden inside carpeting, upholstered furniture, heating/cooling
equipment and ducts, walls, ceilings,
attics, and cars,” adds Mr. Fry, whose firm
EnviroFry does mold and environmental
inspection, testing, removal, and
prevention of homes, commercial
buildings, and vehicles in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Tucson, and Arizona-wide.
Snowbird rental units often harbor and foster toxic mold and germs because of
undetected or ignored roof and wall leaks, plumbing leaks, and air conditioning, air
conditioner, and swamp cooler leaks and internal mold and germ growth.
Mold, bacteria, and viruses from one rental unit often cross-contaminates other rentals
because of microbial growth in the cleaning staff’s mops, cleaning cloths, and vacuum
cleaners.
“When a snowbirds live in a rental unit or drive a rental vehicle, they are exposed for
days , weeks, or months to the continually-growing germs and mold spores left in the
living quarters or vehicle’s heating and cooling equipment and air ducts, carpeting, living
space, and furnishings by all previous tenants or customers, analogous to how sexually-
transmitted diseases are spread,” advises Fry, who is also webmaster of
www.decontaminationgear.com,

2. Snowbirds can protect themselves by: (1) hiring EnviroFry to do thorough mold and
germ inspection, testing, and removal in their home, rental unit, or vehicle;(2) using an
EnviroFry portable, six-step air purifier in their home or rental unit,
