Treatment For Lice FAQ in Edmonds, WA

What is the best nit treatment?

Lice and nits can be removed by wet combing. You should try this method first. You can buy a special fine-toothed comb (detection comb) online or from pharmacies to remove head lice and nits.

How do you disinfect a hairbrush after lice?

Items that can’t be washed in the washer can be dry–cleaned OR be placed in a sealed plastic bag for 2 weeks. Soak combs, brushes, hair barrettes/clips/ties in hot water (130°F) for 5-10 minutes. Vacuum the floor and furniture, where the person with lice sat or lay.

Which shampoo is best for removing lice?

Hairshield Anti Lice Cream Wash. Medilice Single Application Lice Formula. Mediker Anti-Lice Treatment Shampoo. Jungle Formula Head Lice Shampoo. Sunny Herbals Anti Lice Shampoo. Lice-Nil Anti Lice Treatment Shampoo.

Do you need to change bedding if you have nits?

It’s essential to wash all bedding after a head lice treatment. The heat from a hot water cycle will ensure that no surviving lice can find a host again. Keep in mind that anything on the bed could be infected if the louse crawled around.

Do head lice crawl on your face?

They need human blood to live. Head lice usually stay close to the scalp and behind the ears. You might also spot them on the eyebrows and eyelashes.

Why is lice such a big deal?

Head lice are annoying, but they’re not dangerous and they don’t spread disease. They’re not a sign of poor hygiene — head lice need blood and they don’t care whether it’s from someone who’s clean or dirty. It’s best to treat head lice right away to prevent them from spreading.

What kills lice on bedding?

Machine Wash and Bedding and Clothing. Use hot water (130°F) cycle paired with a high heat drying cycle. This process will dehydrate and kill any potential surviving lice and lice eggs.

Can lice get into mattresses?

The short answer is, they can’t. Lice really cannot live apart from a food source for more than 24 to 48 hours and, unlike fleas and bedbugs, they don’t like to live separately from their host, returning only to feast. Lice require close proximity to their host.

What temperature kills lice?

Washing clothes in hot water, 125 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, will kill body lice and their nits.

Can lice stick to pillows?

As head lice can live on pillows, you’ll need to clean them. Adult lice can only survive for two days without a host. However, they can still lay eggs. If the infected person has had a lice treatment and then picks up stray lice from their pillow, the lice infestation cycle can start all over again.
