Lice: Myths, Prevention, and How to Really Get Rid of These Bugs

Lice Myths:  Ilene debunks two common myths about lice. The first, lice do not jump. Lice is not spread due to lice jumping from head to head or object to object.  Lice walk from location to location and seek warm places to hide where they can retrieve food.  Normal surfaces of the house do not provide a good place for lice to live therefore, lice live mostly on combs and in the hair.  They do not usually live on objects for very long.

Lice Prevention:  Ilene talks about prevention being difficult.  Typical sprays and prevention treatments do not work and are a waste of money.  The best way to avoid lice is to do regular lice checks and catch the outbreak early.  Lice checks must be done with a lice comb to be effective. 

Lice: How to really get rid of these bugs.  Lice treatments of the past are no longer effective.  Lice have become immune to many strands of over-the-counter treatments. The reoccurrence of lice is primarily due to faulty treatment options that only kill the live lice and don’t kill the eggs that will hatch weeks later.  Instead, Ilene suggests buying her product at www.centerforlicecontrol.com which suffocates the lice and prevents breakouts in the future.
