- Only 50% of people are itchy from head lice. People are itchy from lice bites not from the bugs crawling around. It may take up to 4 weeks of an infestation to become itchy. People taking antihistamines for allergies may never become itchy at all
- There is no season for lice. It is a year round problem
- Lice are not living in your home and re-infesting your family…Lice can only live and reproduce on a human head. Off the head, adult lice die within 48 hours and they only lay nits (lice eggs) on a human head
- The over-the-counter pesticides and prescription treatments have become less effective as the lice have grown resistant to the pesticides they contain. Product failure is part of reason for the high level of lice outbreaks. People using these products follow all the directions, do an overwhelming amount of housework and in 2-3 weeks find that they have lice again. If this has happened to you, it’s not your fault! You did not have the right products, tools and instructions to truly get rid of lice. The Nit Nanny has the right products and tools.
- Special house cleaning products, sprays and laundry additives are completely unnecessary. Using the heat of the dryer or vacuuming items that have had contact with someone’s head is all you need to do. Services that sell offer these items are taking advantage of their customers
- At any given time 3% of school-aged children have lice
Your children have a greater chance to be exposed to lice now more than ever. The best way to avoid a family infestation is to do weekly head checks on your children with The Nit Nanny lice comb. If you catch it early, it will help ensure that it does not spread through your entire family.
