No. However, if mold has been growing then just drying the area and/or allowing sunlight to hit it does not kill the mold spores. The spores are dormant reproductive agents of the mold which allow it to regrow when conditions are right. The next time it is moist the mold will regrow. Mold is endemic (everywhere) in the atmosphere.

Light can have varying effects on mold growth depending on the type of mold. Some molds thrive in darkness and will grow more rapidly in low-light conditions, while others require some amount of light to grow. Ultraviolet (UV) light can inhibit mold growth by damaging its DNA and cell structure. However, visible light may not have as significant of an impact on mold growth.
