We live off base just a few miles and I am 9 months pregnant with a one year old.
Since October my son and I have been sick constantly and I am so fed up with it!

I eat really healthy and try to take good care of all our health, so I knew these colds had to be environmental so I went through the house. Lo and behold, we have some type of black mold growing everywhere!
I know to clean it with bleach, borax, clorox etc. but is there anyway I can get someone to get in here and make sure it stays away? I know for on-base housing they will take care of it, but I don't know about what I can do for living off-base.

Thank you!

If you have white walls, Kilz primer is SUPPOSED to kill mold.

If you are renting speek with the land lord.

Agree with above...my mom had this issue years back and turns out cleaning wasn't good enough bc it was in the walls. They had to tear half the wall down. If you rent and they chose not to do anything then you go above them and call the health department.
