Updated October 2026 · Medically reviewed by Dr. Madeleine Sowash, MD, FAAD

How much does lice treatment cost?

Most families pay $450 to $480 in total. We charge $199 for the first hour and $179 for each additional hour, billed in 15-minute increments. That one rate covers everyone in the home, and a typical visit takes 2.5 to 3 hours.

Do you charge per person?

No. We charge by time, not by head, so the whole family is treated for the same hourly rate. Lice clinics usually charge per person, so in-home treatment often costs the same or less for families with two or more people who need treating.

Are there any extra fees?

A $20 fee applies to Sunday appointments and a holiday fee may apply on major holidays. A two-hour minimum applies when the technician travels more than 30 miles. Travel is otherwise included.

Is pricing different in my area?

Pricing may vary by area. California is $210 for the first hour and $185 for each additional hour. Manhattan is $225 for the first hour and $210 after, with a two-hour minimum. The Hamptons are $260 per hour with a two-hour minimum. NJ, CT, and parts of the NYC boroughs are $199 for the first hour and $185 for each additional hour. Everywhere else, the rate is $199 and $179.

Can I use my FSA or HSA? Does insurance cover it?

Yes. Lice treatment is eligible for FSA and HSA accounts. We can also give you a receipt with a diagnosis code to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

What happens if the lice come back?

Our treatment comes with a 30-day guarantee. If lice return within 30 days, we come back and re-treat at no charge. You can also book an optional follow-up check at a reduced rate for peace of mind.

How long does a lice treatment take?

Most visits take 2.5 to 3 hours for a family. A single child with short hair can take about an hour. The technician checks everyone in the home and treats anyone who has lice in the same visit, so one appointment is usually all you need.

How soon can someone come?

Usually the same day. Technicians work 7 AM to midnight, 365 days a year. Call or book online and we will confirm a time that works for you.

Michelle
Mother of Three
"After 14 years of parenting, we finally got our first (and hopefully last) lice incident. Within a few hours of reaching out to LiceDoctors, they came to our rescue! It was so nice to have them come to our home and handle this with so much care, compassion and kindness. They did great with the kids and were very thorough. Thank you so much LiceDoctors!!"

Lulu
Mother of Six
"Our technician was amazing, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We are a family of 6 and only three of us had lice... For a mom of 4 girls who works long hours, I was having a hard time keeping up with their hair on my own and then on top of it I had lice too. I would rather at this point pay for a company that will guarantee results and take very good care of all of our hair!!! Thank you again LiceDoctors!!!"
