How Do I Get Rid of All of the Head Lice in My House?
This is a question that we often hear. The reality is that you don’t have to get rid of all the lice in the house; without blood from the head, lice will die within 24 hours. Head lice do not survive for very long on furniture, linens, clothing, or hair brushes. Contrary to what you may have read or heard, you do not need to bag all the clothes or toys in the house. In a frantic attempt to eradicate a head lice infestation parents often waste time and money washing, cleaning, vacuuming, and or discarding, only to find that this does not solve the head lice problem.
Parents Waste Time Cleaning House
At Licedoctors, we often get calls from frustrated and tired parents. It is not unusual for us to hear a parent say that she or he has disinfected the entire house in addition to trying a variety of head lice treatments, and yet the family continues to suffer from head lice. Given the short life of lice off of the head, it is not necessary to focus energy on expensive cleaning of the house. The target of any effective head lice treatment should be the head, not the house.
