While goats can eat poison ivy and other plants that are harmful to humans, this doesn’t mean they can eat anything. Certain plant species, like azaleas, sumac, nightshade, Virginia creeper, and more, can kill goats. If your property has any of these plants, it won’t qualify for goat rental services. Most rental companies will ask for pictures or videos of your property or even inspect your land themselves to ensure none of these plants are present.

There are different types of mold, and not all humans are the same. For example, a more toxic type of mold may have less of an effect on a healthy person than a less toxic mold in the home of someone who is immunocompromised. If you recognize any symptoms of mold poisoning—sinus issues, brain fog, respiratory distress, constraint cough, migraines, or any others—call your doctor or go to the hospital before you attempt any removal.

Mold thrives in high-moisture environments, whether that’s steady leaks or just high condensation. Around the house, common causes of mold include leaky pipes, a leaking roof, high humidity, poor ventilation, a damp basement, rotting food in the fridge, wet clothing and towels not hung properly for drying, a leaking foundation, and a leaky air conditioner.

And, of course, if your home suffers from flood damage, you stand the risk of developing mold in the aftermath. That’s why it’s important to act quickly at the first sign of mold.

Poor maintenance can cause some health concerns, although these are more common in commercial misters than residential versions. For example, stagnant water can become a breeding ground for bacteria, some of which can be dangerous to human health, especially when inhaled. Regular flushing of the system before seasonal use should prevent issues like these.

Otherwise, avoid using mosquito misters with pesticides or plant misters with fertilizers near humans. These misters are not designed for cooling sprays around decks or patios, but for more utilitarian purposes.
