When you hear your child has lice, we're sure panic immediately begins to set in. If you have questions about lice, we're here to help!

One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is "What do I need to do in order to get rid of lice in my home?"

We've got your answer. Lice are NOT living in your home! You can rest easy tonight! Nits (eggs) need the warmth of your scalp and a food supply (your blood) in order to hatch and survive. Lice want to be in your head, not in your home!

As a precaution, wash all bedding and vacuum as you normally would if someone in your home had head lice. We also recommend changing pillow cases.

Did you know September is Head Lice Prevention month? 

It's no surprise that September is the chosen month to spread awareness about head lice. Back to school brings back the chances of your children returning home with those little pests known as head lice!

Here are a few head lice prevention tips that you can use to help prevent your children from contracting head lice this September: 

Encourage your kids to avoid sharing things that have been on or near another child's head, including hairbrushes, combs, hats, scarves, towels, helmets, pillows, sleeping bags, etc.

Teach your kids to hang up their coat and hat on an individual hook, or some other separate area, when they get to school, instead of just throwing them in a pile with other classmates' clothing.

Regularly clean things that your child's head has direct contact with, such as car seats, pillows, head phones, etc.

Review some head lice pictures to help you understand and identify what you're looking for in your child's hair, including live life and nits (lice eggs).

Check your child for nits and live head lice at least once a week, keeping in mind that although you may find head lice anywhere, they are often found at the back of your child's head, near his/her neck and behind ears. 

Recognize the symptoms of head lice, which includes an itchy scalp and small red bumps or sores on the back of your child's neck or scalp. Don't panic, though, if your child must be treated for head lice, Lice Tamers is here to help treat your family in the safest way possible.

If you just received the dreaded news that your child has head lice, you’re probably thinking “why me?” Well, we can assure you that you’re not alone. The American Academy of Pediatrics reports that, “it’s probably impossible to totally prevent head lice infestations.”

Head lice are extremely contagious, so it’s important to be checking your child regularly for symptoms of lice. No matter what myths you may have heard about head lice, having head lice is not an indication that you’re unclean. As a matter of fact, lice like clean hair!

Although there is no way to totally prevent head lice, there are a few things you can do to lower the odds of your family getting head lice.

• Teach your child to avoid sharing items that have been on or near another child’s head. These items include: hair brushes, combs, hats, scarves, helmets, towels.
• Make sure your child hangs up his or her coat and hat on an individual hook, instead of just tossing their outer garments in a pile with other classmates clothing.
• Regularly clean items that your child’s head has direct contact with, such as car seats, pillows, head phones.

If your child does come home with head lice one day, we’re here to help. Lice Tamers offers natural and thorough lice removal services seven days a week. Call us for more information at 877-237-LICE. You can also visit us online at www.LiceTamers.com or on our Facebook page.
