Spring is here, but hopefully LICE aren’t. Head Lice tends to make a grand appearance in the spring. Spring sports begin and people socialize more. There is more head to head contact with picture taking and helmet sharing causing us to share those pesky critters. Learn more about our professional treatment process and how we eliminate lice in a single visit.
Any parent who has dealt with head lice and nits knows how annoying this problem can be – and most parents with children attending schools or group settings are likely to encounter it at some point. The personal hygiene or cleanliness in the home or school has nothing to do with the spread of head lice, and it is uncommon, but not impossible for lice to spread by sharing clothing or belongings. At Lice Lifters we have seen enough cases of lice due to helmet sharing to know it is a problem. Check out our related article on How Long Does Lice Treatment Take?

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can lice be completely prevented?
While there is no guaranteed way to completely prevent head lice, you can significantly reduce the risk. Teaching children to avoid head-to-head contact, not sharing personal items like hats and brushes, and using a preventive lice spray can all help lower the chances of an infestation.
Q: Do lice prevention sprays actually work?
Lice prevention sprays that contain natural repellents like mint, rosemary, or tea tree oil can help deter lice. While no product offers 100% protection, regular use of a quality prevention spray has been shown to reduce the likelihood of lice taking hold.
Q: How often should I check my child’s head for lice?
We recommend checking your child’s head at least once a week, especially during the school year. Regular head checks help catch lice early before they spread to other family members. Use a fine-toothed nit comb and good lighting for the most accurate results.
Q: Should I keep my child home from school if their classmate has lice?
No, you do not need to keep your child home simply because a classmate has lice. The CDC states that lice are not a health hazard and do not spread disease. However, you should perform a thorough head check and consider using a preventive spray as a precaution.
Q: What is the best way to prevent lice at summer camp?
Before camp, teach your child not to share hats, brushes, pillows, or headphones. Apply a lice prevention spray daily and braid or tie back long hair. Pack your child’s belongings in a sealed bag and do a thorough head check when they return home.
