A company, Zinsser is marketing a mold resistant paint for the interior and mold blocking for exterior applications. It's priced about equal to any good paint. Is fully certified by EPA and seems to be pretty effective. Their primers (Zprime) are top rated. They also offer a bag of powder additive to put in any paint or sealer.
We have mixed it with a clear sealer and applied between walls before closing. The paint works and covers as well as most paints. Cost effective and seems to work.
Paint used to have mercury which helped resist mildew but was banned even on exteriors. Today the mercury is back in light bulbs, soon to be mandatory. Mabe this mercury is safe and when a bulb burns out, put in a shoebox, place it in your closet and break it, leave till the fog soaks in and instant fumigation.
