Combat head lice infestations effectively with proven treatment methods. From professional services to at-home solutions, we offer comprehensive information about lice to help you eliminate these pesky bugs quickly and safely, ensuring a lice-free life for you and your family.
Understanding Head Lice
Adult Lice
Parasitic insects that live on the human scalp, feeding on blood several times daily
Nits (Eggs)
Tiny eggs firmly attached to hair shafts near the scalp that hatch in 8-9 days
Nymphs
Immature lice that mature into adults within 9-12 days after hatching
Transmission
Spread primarily through direct head-to-head contact, affecting people regardless of hygiene
Manual Professional Removal
Manual professional removal involves specially trained technicians physically removing lice and nits using fine-toothed combs. This method is chemical-free and can be highly effective when performed thoroughly and carefully. It typically requires one session to ensure all lice and eggs are eliminated, providing a safe alternative for those avoiding pesticides or sensitive to treatments.
