3. Cockroach Allergens
Cockroach allergens tend to attach to larger particles in the environment and don’t stay airborne for long. They also tend to be found in crevices, which makes them harder to eliminate. Methods to reduce cockroach allergens include:
- Use insecticides, particularly gel baits or bait traps rather than aerosolized products, which might aggravate asthma.
- Remove sources of food and grease.
- Use allergy linings on pillows, bedding and mattresses.
- Vacuum regularly with a vacuum cleaner containing a HEPA filter.
- Use a HEPA room air purifier.
