How do you get lice out of the house?

Answer 1

Yuck! Those are the nastiest creatures. Okay well, you have to wash everything and dry everything you possibly can. You have to dry the items so they are dry and not damp. The heat from the dryer is what actually kills the lice. So don't skimp on the drying time. When I say you have to wash and dry everything. I mean everything. That includes the pillows, stuffed animals, clothing on the floor, bedding, anything that has the possibility of coming into contact with the lice. You have to make sure that the lice and its eggs are out of the person's head. Washing with the lice shampoo and picking out the nits isn't good enough. You have to follow that 2nd treatment and make sure you get every single nit out. and when you do get a nit out don't just throw the nit on the floor. Flush it down the toilet and wash your hands. Now, for the stuff that you can't wash. There is the spray for lice you can use around the house and on the bedding. But those cans can be real expensive after a while. So I would save those for the bedding. And make sure you get the entire bed, not just the top. You have to get the sides too. These are insects that crawl. So don't think they're going to stay in one place. If you happen to have a rug cleaner especially one that has a steamer on it, that is an excellent way to clean the carpet and furniture. The heat from the steam will help kill the lice. Also you can take insecticide and spray it on the carpeting or bug bombs, but that's going to the extreme. You also have to make sure you do your vehicle and the seats too. As long as you know that you need to wash and dry everything and spray the bedding and the carseats and interior and do the lice and nit check and cleaning on the head of the person, your lice infestation should go away.

Answer 2

You will have to use a special shampoo made for head lice on everyone in the household to kill the lice. If the shampoo doesn't specifically state on the label that it also kills the nits (eggs of lice), you may need to use a special nit comb, which is a comb that removes the eggs of the lice. Otherwise, the eggs may hatch a few days later and cause a re-infestation.

You will also have to wash ALL bedding in very hot water, and dry in a hot clothes dryer or hang on a clothesline in bright, hot sun. Also, any clothing which has been recently worn will need to be laundered.

Answer 3

All you do is get a bug spray and spray the so called "lice" which lives in your so called "house"

Answer 4

You can't kill lice with a home product, you need to buy the kit and treat for it thoroughly.
