In a "home darkroom" it can be tough. Start out making sure all your 
development tanks are dust free, rinsing them out right before you use 
them will help.  If you get small particles in your water, filter it. 
Use a wetting agent like Photoflo as a final rinse to reduce the surface 
tension so the negatives will dry faster. And finally don't leave them 
up to dry any longer than absolutely necessary. If you can dry them in 
some sort of enclosure that would also help.

And finally buy a static master and learn to use the software tools ( 
assuming you scan ) to remove dust spots.
