Remember we are talking about surfaces and not a living being. You can pick the method that would work the best and be the safest for the object involved but basically you can: boil it for 20 minutes, place it in the dryer on high for 30 minutes (high the whole time), vacuum (especially floors, cars, mattresses), in the freezer for 24 hours, or bagged for 3-12 days. Remember, louse can only live up to 48 hours off the head, the life cycle of an egg is 7-10 days so 12 days would be a stretch but it's up to you. It is highly unlikely that the eggs would get enough warmth to hatch and it would need to feed in the first few hours. For more information check out our website, thelicesolutionllc.com.

Can you use a nit comb if you don't have nits?

No, the combs remove the adult head lice but not the "nits" which are their eggs, which they stick to the base of the hairs. So if you have nits, coming out the adult lice will not remove the infestation as more lice will hatch out from the nits. As well as combing the hair you need to kill the nits with some proprietary medicine.
