Lice Shampoos And Nits

Please note: Lice shampoos do not kill nits. They do kill lice but they have no effect on the nits. The nits must be removed using the lousebuster or the lice comb. If you do not get rid of the nits the nits hatch and you'll just be creating more lice.

Shaving Hair For Lice

People think that if they shave their hair, then they won't get lice. This is not a good head lice prevention tip. Even if you have really short hair you can still get lice. Lice are fast crawlers and can be caught through close personal contact.

Proper Lice Cleaning

Lice need at least one blood meal to survive. Therefore, any lice not on the scalp will die within 48 hours. Be sure to either evacuate your home so that you do not get reinfested or thoroughly clean all bed linens and clothing that have come in contact with your child within the past few days. Yourlice treatment center will provide you with more details about how to proceed with lice removal.
