Yes and no ; some times. =)
It depends on what peroxide you're using. If you're using the peroxide you get in the brown bottle at wal-mart for 50 cents then no. But if you're talking about the peroxide that lightens your hair - yes. If you're going to get rid of head lice using the peroxide route try a 20 volume peroxide. This will lighten your hair 1-2 shades (with no bleaching powder!) and kill all lice and nits. You could use a 30 volume if you wanted lighter hair or if you were crazy about getting the lice out, however Do not EVER EVER EVER put 40 volume peroxide directly on your scalp. It will burn your hair off.

Can boiling water kill head lice on brush and comb?
AnswerYes. Boiling water will kill lice and nits on a brush and comb. I would boil for 10 minutes but less time may be necessary to kill the lice and nits. You do not need to boil overnight.

How big are nits and what are the dots im getting out of your hair now?
Nits are the eggs laid by human head lice Pediculosis capitis. The lice are about a millimeter long (easy to see look in the related link below). I suspect the dots you are finding are the eggs (nits) that are glued to the base of your hair strands. The eggs (nits) are very difficult to remove even after they are dead or have hatched.You need to kill the lice and the eggs using some proprietary topical treatment.
