How often should I use lice prevention spray after a treatment?

For the best protection, use a mint-based prevention spray every single morning before your child leaves for school or activities. Lice are most active when children are in close contact; the scent of the spray acts as a natural deterrent that masks the human scent lice look for. It is a quick, safe habit that provides a daily layer of defense.

Do I need to deep clean my house if my child had lice?

No deep cleaning is necessary! Focus on items that had direct head contact in the 48 hours prior to treatment, such as pillowcases, hats, and brushes. Wash linens in hot water and dry on high heat for 30 minutes. Since lice die within two days without a human host, simply set aside non-washable items like stuffed animals for 48 hours.

What is the best way to check for lice at home?

The most effective method is a 'wet comb-through.' Apply conditioner to wet hair and use a professional-grade metal lice comb to swipe through small sections from the scalp to the ends. Wipe the comb on a white paper towel after each swipe to look for nits or bugs. Bright, natural sunlight or a strong LED headlamp is essential for spotting tiny eggs.
