Why choose LiceDoctors in Bethlehem, PA for Lice Removal?

If you think about the fact that head lice only live on human heads and cannot survive out in the wild or on animals, that means that at least one human on the planet has had head lice at any given time for millennia. Your child’s lice could be the distant relatives of lice that plagued pilgrims, European royalty, or ancient Egyptian Pharaohs.

There have been many generations of lice since then, as each louse only lives for about a month. Whereas, today’s lice look about the same as those long-dead specimens found entombed in ancient pyramids, their genes change over the passage of time. Just as insects eventually grow resistant to pesticides used on food crops and bacteria eventually grow resistant to antibiotics used in hospitals, lice have also grown resistant to chemicals used in lice shampoos. Pediculicides (anti-head lice pesticides) in a typical over-the-counter lice shampoo, found in a drug store in Bethlehem, are still basically the same ones lice have been developing immunity to for about 30 years now. Chemicals which could be more effective have either been taken off the market due to health hazards, or are only available by prescription (which carry very hefty price tags and may cause side effects or be ineffective).

Unfortunately, due to the relatively high failure rate of pediculicides, even the costly prescription types usually do not come with a guarantee that the lice and nits won’t come back. Our service does. Your local Bethlehem lice specialist will use an ancient, yet modernized, method to treat an ancient problem: systematic combing and nit-picking. We’ve perfected the methods through our experience treating 500,000 cases, and have success keeping the problem gone 99.6% of the time with just one in-your-home visit and a simple aftercare treatment plan that allows you to skip cleaning and laundry entirely.

Because LiceDoctors knows that you want this problem gone today, lice technicians are available for house calls every day of the year from early morning until night. Call us at 484-725-7362 from 7 AM until midnight any day of the week to speak to a live lice expert.

Bethlehem, PA FAQs

WHAT CAN I DO TO PREVENT MY CHILD FROM CATCHING LICE AT SCHOOL?

Wearing the hair to their Bethlehem school in an updo, or wearing a shorter hairstyle, is helpful. Adding hair products like gel, oil, or hairspray will help as well, since lice prefer very clean hair. Basically keep the hair away from touching other people as much as possible. We know it’s too much to expect kids to never hug each other or roughhouse together, so you can help repel lice away from your family by using our safe preventative haircare products.

WE WENT TO A HOTEL IN BETHLEHEM AND LATER FOUND OUT ONE OF THE PEOPLE STAYING THERE HAD LICE, WHAT ARE THE CHANCES WE CAUGHT IT?

Well, the main determining factor is, who did you hug? Over 95% of cases are spread through hair-to-hair contact. The hair/head of a human is the only place lice can feed and reproduce, so that’s where they stay. They can't jump or fly, and they can't infest houses, pets or lay eggs on fabric. The bugs only live about 12-36 hours after falling off a human head; if they can't hitch a ride in that time on someone else's hair they just die. The main exceptions would be sharing hats, helmets, hairbrushes, or a bed with someone with lice. But the chances of picking them up from clean bed sheets, clean towels, or carpets are slim to none.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO IF MY CHILD’S FRIEND HAS LICE?

Check your child for nits in a bright light with reading glasses or a magnifying glass, here is a quick guide on what to look for. Continue to check the head in bright light daily (ideally Bethlehem outdoors), as most people don't notice the lice problem for at least 2 weeks (that's when the eggs hatch and the bugs mature and the itching starts). You generally can't see the nits for at least the first week after catching it as they're too microscopic inside their clear shells. If you see anything suspicious, give LiceDoctors a call; an experienced Bethlehem technician would be happy to come check your whole family with a special combing check that can detect nits and lice before they're visible or itchy.
