We know that the last thing a parent wants to hear is that their child has lice! There are a few head lice prevention tips parents can do to help prevent your children from contracting head lice.

Let us know if you have any additional tips on our Facebook page.

• Encourage your kids to avoid sharing things that have been near another child's head. Including: hairbrushes, combs, hats, scarves, towels, helmets, pillows and sleeping bags.
• Teach your kids to hang up their coat on an individual hook, or some other separate area when they get to school instead of just tossing their coat on a hook along with another child's. 
• Regularly clean things that your child's head has direct contact with, such as car seats, pillows, head phones.
• Review some head lice pictures to help you understand what you are looking for in your child's hair, including live lice and nits (lice eggs). 
• Recognize the symptoms of head lice. Symptoms include itchy scalp and small red bumps or sores on the back of your child's neck and scalp.

Head Lice Prevention Tips for the Spring!

Contrary to what most people believe, head lice is a year-round problem. There are, however, certain times of the year when head lice tend to be more prevalent. Whenever children get together in large groups, the chances of head lice being spread among them tends to increase. The spring season is one of those times.

Head lice prevention starts with being aware of how it's spread. Head lice do not jump or fly. So, how do children contract head lice from one another?

The main avenue through which head lice are spread is direct contact, i.e. head-to-head contact, sharing brushes and sharing hats and/or head gear.

This spring, be sure that your child does not share helmets or other head gear with children on their sports team. If there is no option but to share, make sure that your child wears a protective barrier between their head and the head gear, such as a baseball cap.

Lice Tamers is offering FREE head checks to local teams this spring. For information to set up an appointment, call 631-479-2595 or  visit www.licetamers.com!

Through the years, you've probably heard a ton of information about lice. Some true and some untrue. Lice Tamers is here to provide you with the correct facts about head lice and answer some frequently asked questions!

Don’t panic, we’re also available to help rid your family of head lice safely and effectively without the use of toxic that can harm your family.

Here are a couple of facts and answers about lice! If you have any questions about lice or suspect someone in your family may have head lice, call us immediately at 877-237-LICE.

What are the symptoms of head lice?

A: An itchy scalp. A tickling feeling of something moving on the scalp or through the hair. You may see red bite marks on the scalp or red rash on the back of the neck. Some individuals exhibit no symptoms at all.

What are nits and what do they look like?

A: Nits (louse eggs) are very small, about the size of a sesame seed. They are laid by the adult female and are attached at an angle to the base of the hair shaft, with a very strong glue. They are yellowish, tan or coffee covered ovals, usually found near the crown of the head, around the ears, and near the nape of the neck. Nits take about 7 to 10 days to hatch.

Can lice jump or fly?

A: Contrary to popular belief, lice cannot fly or jump. They do not have wings. Lice are crawling insects. They only way to get head lice is through close contact or sharing clothing or hats from an individual who has it.

What do I need to do in order to get rid of lice in my home?

A: Lice are NOT living in your home! Nits (eggs) need the warmth of your scalp and food supply (your blood) in order to hatch and survive. Lice want to be in your head. If a louse falls off, it’s by accident and it will die shortly thereafter. Wash all bedding and vacuum as you normally would. We recommend changing your pillow cases daily as an added precaution. That’s it!
