How do I find out what the smell is?

Dear George,

My daughter purchased a remodeled home in Woodland Hills.

Her babies room and the adjacent office has a fishy odor. At times it goes away and other times it is very strong. Is there a way to determine what and where this odor is coming from?

Signed,
Grams

Dear Grams,

ByebyeMold does have devices which detect particulates at very small quantities (ppm) as well as thermal imaging capabilities.

I expect either of those processes would be likely to help pinpoint a problem; but you may want to call the office for details.
