For pillows that have been exposed to head lice, you can do a few things. You can toss them to make sure the bugs are gone. Another option is to bag up the pillows for several weeks. This will basically starve the lice. You can wash the pillows in your washing machine and then put them in the dryer. The washing will not kill the bugs, but the heat in the dryer will.
