Can I just use regular peppermint essential oil for prevention?

While peppermint is the right scent, essential oils alone can be too harsh or greasy for daily use on a child's scalp. Our Mint Prevention Spray is professionally formulated with the right concentration to be effective against lice while remaining gentle on the hair and skin, making it safe for daily application throughout the entire school trip.

What should I do if my child shares a bed or pillow on a trip?

Sharing pillows is a high-risk activity for lice transmission. If your child is on a trip where this is unavoidable, emphasize the use of their Mint Prevention Spray and try to pack their own pillowcase from home. Once they return, perform a thorough head check with a professional lice comb to ensure no transfer occurred during sleep.

Is a visual check enough when my child gets home from camp?

Unfortunately, no. Lice are incredibly fast and nits (eggs) are tiny, often camouflaged near the scalp. A visual check usually misses early infestations. The only way to be 100% sure is to use a professional-grade lice comb on wet, conditioned hair, or to visit a professional for a guaranteed head check.
