1. A method for controlling one or more arthropods in an environment comprising:
generating hydrogen peroxide gas from atmospheric water vapor; and
directing the generated hydrogen peroxide gas into the environment in an amount of about 5 parts per million by weight (ppm) or less for a time period sufficient to control the one or more arthropods within the environment, wherein said arthropods do not include molds.
