LICE ARE RESISTANT TO INSECTICIDES

Insecticide resistance is a problem when treating head lice.  First of all pesticide products don’t work anymore and they are dangerous.  Don’t believe me then try treating using Nix and Rid then see for yourself.  Lice are not resistant to Lice Lifters Treatment.  If live lice are found in the combings after treatment that has been correctly applied, the head lice are resistant to the product used, and possibly to any other product using the same active compound.

Wash off the first product. Retreat as soon as possible using a product from a different active group than the one used. Although there are over 20 head lice products they fall into four groups based on the active compound:

1.      pyrethrins
