Allergic reactions can be avoided by avoiding antigens. Antibodies to a family pet can be managed by removing the animal from the house and finding it a new home. Children's allergies complaints can be reduced by eliminating cockroaches, mice, and rats, as well as a thorough cleaning. Dust mites are drawn to damp environments. They eat discarded human skin, as well as furniture, carpets, mattresses, box springs, and pillows. Allergen-proof coverings can be used to cover the child's bedroom. Clothes, bed linens, and blankets should all be washed to prevent exposure.

The usage of air conditioners can help to limit allergy exposures outside of the home. To eliminate allergies that have been picked up from outside the home, wash children hair, take a bath, or shower before night. It is sometimes advantageous to stay indoors while the grass is being cut or trimmed if grass or allergies is an irritant. To minimize allergy reactions, children with grass allergies should refuse to play in the grass. In the fall, staying away from stacked leaves can help. Allergens may be tracked in by pets when they return home after being outside.
