Dust Mites, Mold & Pet Dander: Controlling Indoor Allergies All Year Round

If you're sneezing indoors, your home may be harboring hidden allergy triggers. Dust mites, mold, and pet dander are three of the most common culprits behind year-round allergies—especially in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, where weather changes drive people indoors for much of the year.

At ENT & Allergy Associates, our board-certified allergists specialize in identifying and treating environmental allergies that affect your quality of life.

Top Triggers and How to Control Them:

  • Dust Mites: Found in bedding, carpets, and upholstered furniture. Use allergy-proof pillow and mattress covers, wash sheets weekly in hot water, and vacuum frequently with a HEPA filter.
  • Mold: Thrives in damp environments like bathrooms and basements. Use dehumidifiers, fix leaks promptly, and clean visible mold with safe solutions.
  • Pet Dander: Even hypoallergenic pets produce dander. Keep pets out of bedrooms, bathe them regularly, and invest in a quality air purifier.

Our team offers allergy testing and personalized care plans to help you breathe easier indoors—no matter the season. Book your appointment today at one of our many locations across NY, NJ, and PA.
