Lice Removal - Is Your Home Infested?
headlice October 23rd, 2007
Sometimes the reaction to finding out that a child has head lice, causes more distress than the actual lice removal itself. We have had parents call us wanting to know if we provide a lice removal service to clean their home. They feel overwhelmed at the thought of thoroughly removing headlice from their home. Some people think that if a child has lice or nits, their home is “infested”. The term lice home infestation can be used to describe a situation, but it does not describe the house!
A lice infested home, is a description of a family whose members have lice or nits in their hair. The reference is to the people who live in the home, not the home itself! Wood, concrete, sheetrock, or other materials that make up walls, or flooring can not “have lice”. Head lice are human parasites. That means that headlice need human blood to survive. On the head is where lice live, and on the head is where lice lay nits.
To remove head lice from a house, the main thing is to remove the lice and nits from the people. Lice should be removed carefully with a proper lice comb. Head lice removal is time consuming – the nits are glued tightly to the hair, and they don’t come out easily. A professional lice comb should be made specifically to remove nits. The lice comb must be used properly, methodically combing through every single strand of hair to comb out every nit. Licenders provides professional, comprehensive removal of headlice, by treating the infected person with our all-natural lice shampoo, and then thoroughly and methodically, removing the head lice with our professionally designed lice comb. Our clinicians treat clients, removing lice in the comfort of their home, or in our salon in New York City.
That being said, there are certainly things that must be done in a house where one or more family members has caught head lice. Those things are specific and not complicated. We will address some of those things in upcoming posts.
