How to Get Rid of Dust Mites and Prevent Allergies for Fall

Do you experience allergies? Do you link the causes of your problems to the outside world? If so, you might be overlooking the real offender. Dust mites in particular are likely a factor in the poor indoor air quality in your home, which can lead to unpleasant concerns like runny noses, itchy eyes, and even respiratory disorders like bronchitis and asthma. Therefore, staying indoors when pollen and mold levels are high may be making your issues worse.

The primary indoor allergen sources are:

• Pets
• 
  
• Wall-to-wall carpeting
• 
  
• Soft furnishings
• 
  
• Filled toys
• 
  
• Bedding
• 
  
• Wet areas
• 
  
• houses plants
• 
  
• Uncovered mattresses without allergy protection
• 
  
• Bedding and pillows cannot be washed in hot water.

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America suggests three ways to improve the air quality indoors.

• Limit your exposure to indoor airborne allergens.
• Well-ventilate your indoor spaces.
• Clean indoor air by using air purifiers.

So how do you get rid of dust mites and filter out pollen, dust, and other dangerous microorganisms that are in your home? Pollen and other dangerous particles will be removed from the indoor air by high-efficiency whole-home air filters, and the air can also be purified with whole-home air purifiers. But you'll need a different strategy if you want to reduce or completely get rid of dust mite issues. Since dust mites prefer warm, moist conditions, summer is the ideal time of year for them to thrive. However, central air conditioners will assist in managing dust mites by cooling and dehumidifying the house. A properly functioning central air conditioner will lessen the impact of dust mites because the summer is also when air conditioners are used in homes. However, relative humidity naturally rises in the early fall when homes switch off their air conditioners, creating an ideal environment for dust mites to thrive. When you initially turn on your furnace to heat your home in the fall, dust mites are also stirred up and spread throughout your house.
