Does mint spray actually kill lice if they are already on the head?

No, mint spray is a preventative tool, not a treatment. It works by making the hair smell unattractive to lice, which encourages them to stay away. If you already have an active infestation, the spray will not kill the bugs or the eggs (nits). You will need a professional treatment or a specialized removal kit first, then use the spray daily to prevent a re-infestation.

How often do I really need to apply the prevention spray?

For maximum effectiveness, you should apply the mint spray every single morning before school, daycare, or camp. The scent is strongest and most effective within the first 8-12 hours. Think of it like deodorant or sunscreen—it’s a daily layer of protection that wears off over time, so consistency is key to keeping the 'barrier' strong.

Is the mint spray safe for children with sensitive skin or allergies?

Our Mint Prevention Spray is designed with kids in mind and uses natural essential oils rather than harsh synthetic pesticides. However, we always recommend a 'patch test' on a small area of skin, like the inside of the wrist, if your child is particularly sensitive. Because you are spraying it on the hair rather than rubbing it into the scalp, it is generally very well-tolerated by most children.
