No. You need a product made specifically for killing the lice, and you need to wash ALL bed linens, hats, scarves, etc., in very hot water to prevent reinfestation. Run your pillows (and things that can't be washed) through the dryer on high heat for at least 45 minutes to kill the lice. For items that can't be washed or run through a hot dryer, hang them on a clothes line in the hot sun for several hours.
