Abstract: What Are Moisture & Bugs?Your house is home to many organisms.Some are good, some are not so good.Moisture and bugs (also called biological contaminants) come from living or once-living organisms.They include mainly animal hair, dander, saliva, and feces; molds and other fungi; dust mites; cockroaches and insect residues; pollen; and microscopic organisms.These can cause odors, damage household materials, lead to allergic reactions, and cause infectious diseases and respiratory problems.Each person has a different sensitivity to these contaminants.
