Gable fan to remove mold in attic

I understand the ongoing discussion on attic and gable fans not helping in cooling a house. But my question is would using one be efficient / helpful enough in ridding the attic of mold? Background. I have a small, rustic summer house in Maine, and it's very damp up there. There is frequently mold in the attic, not a ton, but enough where I'm concerned. I've used large desiccant containers etc., but I'm thinking about installing and running a gable fan on a timer? I recently had a metal roof installed but I didn't ask for a roof vent, which was probably a bad call. I'd appreciate any thoughts. Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/spifflog [link] [comments]
