HeadLice are dependent on humans in order to live.

Off a human body the lice will only live for 2 to 3 days. After 2 days the lice would probably be so deprived of food and energy that they wont be able to start feeding even if food is around.

Disinfecting the entire room with chemicals (of which might not be so good for kids) is a solution, but after a weekend of no kids there the room will have dead lice in it, but that is not dangerous.

It does not prevent the room from being "infected" with lice again though as some chemicals would for a period of time.
