Treatment For Lice FAQ in Topeka, KS

Are electric lice comb effective?

Technically yes, a lice comb can be a complete lice treatment on its own, but it depends entirely on the person using it. If hair is treated with a good electric head lice comb and perfect precision, every louse and nit could be combed out and the lice effectively treated.

Do nits wash out with shampoo?

The shampoo, cream rinse, or spray kills the live lice on the head but may not kill the nits. While the nits don’t need to be removed from the hair, some people use a comb to remove nits after using lice treatment because they don’t like the look of nits in the hair.

What are head lice attracted to?
