Biocides such as fungicides are included in paint as a preservative and to kill mold. They are also included in wood stains to kill insects.

Milk paint and whitewash have a high alkaline content which makes them naturally mold, mildew, and insect resistant. The Old Fashioned Milk Paint Company is one brand that offers a wide array of lovely milk paint colors. If pushed, I could put my good milk paint recipe on GreenChiCafe.com.

Buy a low to zero VOC paint (meaning low in volatile organic compounds) if you want to buy “normal” paint.  Ask your supplier for a brand that uses zinc oxide as the fungicide (it is actually a fungistat).
