How can you get eradicate mold behind paneling,without removing the paneling?

Have mold growing behind paneling on a wall,can it be killed with removing the paneling?

No. Find where the leak is, fix it and then rip off the paneling and clean up the mold.

you cant. you could try bleach and then using a sealer such as "kilz" on it, but then you would have to also paint. i would remove the paneling, then treat the mold, and re install paneling. if there is sheet rock behind the paneling you will have to punch many small holes in it and use a dehumidifier and fans to thouroughly remove all moisture, (about a week), then bleach and kilz. however, if the paneling in nailed to the studs just bleach and dry the open space, then re install paneling.

also, you need to find the source of the moisture and fix that.

NO WAY , MOLD IS ONLY HARMFUL WHEN AIRBORNE IF YOU DO REMOVE IT KEEP IT WET WITH A SPARY BOTTLE AND WEAR GOOD FACE MASK.ALSO YOU CAN CLAUK ALL PLANEL JOINTS AND NAIL HOLES AND SEAL IT WITH KILLS AND THEN PAINT IT.
