Lice Specialists FAQ in Decatur, IL

Can lice infest a mattress?

Does shaving get rid of lice?

Shaving Will Not Get Rid of Lice. The reason shaving will not work is because lice live on the base of the hair, and on the scalp. The nits are laid right at the base of the hair oftentimes against the scalp. Shaving will not get close enough to make an impact on the lice and nits.

Do electric lice combs work?
