While school is winding down and you are preparing your kids for summer the last thing you are thinking about is: head lice. Learn more about our professional treatment process and how we eliminate lice in a single visit.
Summer is such an exciting time of year. As parents we make sure our children have summer clothes that fit, bathing suits, bug spray and sunscreen, but we never think about lice. Lice are an all year problem but more prevalent in the summer because we are all so much more social during the warmer months. Michele Barrack the owner of Lice Lifters franchising company knows there are ways to prevent those creepy crawlers from ruining your summer.
Children are just more active in the summer; there are more play dates, sleep overs, day camps, and overnight camps. Michele Barrack, the owner of 2 of the 14 Lice Lifters around the country, feels the best way to keep lice away before the summer is to get a lice head check, pull hair back in a tight bun or ponytail and to spray Lice Lifters Mint Spray on the hair every day. Head lice do not like the smell of mint; Lice Lifters Mint Spray is also a detangler. Check out our related article on Lice vs Dandruff: How to Tell the Difference for more information.
It is important to get a pre-camp head check. There is still a stigma about head lice. You do not want other children teasing or pointing at your child. Also, the cost of lice treatment at camp is twice sometimes three times more than treating at Lice Lifters Head Lice Treatment Centers.
Lice do not go away by doing nothing, chlorine does not kill lice, Lice Lifters kills lice 100% of the time. Lice spread easily at camp. Head to head contact is the number one way of spreading head lice. We also know that our kiddos are not the cleanest at camp; they share towels, combs and brushes. So don’t be blindsided with head lice this summer – get your pre-camp head check at the closest Lice Lifters Treatment Center. In addition, make sure each child has their own Lice Lifters Mint Spray in their camp bag.

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.
