FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - General Questions

What are Head Lice?
Head lice are tiny flesh-colored insects. Most are between 1mm and 2mm long. They live on human scalps and feed by sucking blood. Lice stay close to the scalp. They cannot jump, hop or fly but are passed from person to person by head to head contact.

Checking for Lice
Proper detection is vital to prevention. It's a good idea to check your children's hair at least once a week. Use a fine tooth detention comb and work in a brightly lit area. Look for live nits and eggs. The eggs are small, dull and well camouflaged. They will attach to the hair close to the scalp. Empty shells (nits) are white and shiny and are found further along the hair shaft.

If You Find Head Lice
Studies have shown that lice are becoming resistant to over the counter treatments such as Rid and Nix.  Products such as Lice Good-Bye dissolve the glue that nits stick to the hair shaft with – without chemicals or pesticides.  Our Lice Good-Bye is a safe alternative to chemicals and makes the combing process easier and more efficient.  We recommend using the Terminator Comb to help remove nits.  

If you choose to use a chemical based product follow instructions carefully. Do not apply a second treatment or leave on the head for longer than recommended. Combing out the head lice is a long, arduous process but is the safest and most effective. Remember to check all family members and treat everyone at the same time to prevent re-infestation.
