A 1:10 bleach solution can kill them (1 part bleach, 10 parts water) but=20 there very well might be another source of the spores, like behind your=20 drywall. You must drill some holes in the drywall and look in there with=20 a flashlight (you might have to drill 4-5 inch holes to get a flashlight=20 and your eyeball in there.) If you have a behind-the-wall infestation=20 (i.e. that's where you can't clean and they can grow unmolested) you=20 have to take your drywall off, clean all surfaces with a bleach=20 solution, and put on NEW drywall.=20
Also check under your carpets, the pad could be holding moisture too. Do=20 a sniff test. Get on your hands and knees and try to find where the mold=20 smell is strongest, then pull up that area of carpet.=20
This is the procuedure most people use after a flood: Remove all drywall=20 (which holds water really well), remove any particle wood (like MDF=20 often used for sheeting/sheathing), and wash studs and weight-bearing=20 wood with bleach solution.=20
The last thing you have to do is find out why moisture is being trapped=20 behind your walls and feeding the fungi. Is there a moisture barrier=20 between the outside siding and sheeting? Not sure where code requires=20 the moisture barrier so consult a local builder.=20
