This depends on how much mold there is, and what sort of mold. One thing to be aware of is that black mold smells bad and it’s visible, whereas other molds might only be visible under a microscope.

How do I know if it's black mold?
user
Good question!  First of all, black mold is dark or black in color.  If it’s still a visible mold growing on wet surfaces, it will have a noticeable growth pattern, and you might find that it looks a bit furry or fuzzy.  If it’s not growing, but you see it on dry surfaces or dark spaces, it will have a dust-like appearance.  Also, if you have pet animals, the odor of black mold is kind of rotten or smoky, like old cigars.

Okay, that's good to know.
