no it has to be at least 140 temp to kill lice. or in dryer on high heat for twenty minutes. also steam and ironing are other alternatives for things that won't fit in dryer! and also running the sweeper all over the carpets everyday is probably the best thing second to coming any infested persons head daily and doing the second treatment so another infestation does not occur
