Head lice can be effectively killed at temperatures above 130°F (54°C). Washing infested clothing and bedding in hot water and drying them on a high heat setting for at least 30 minutes can help eliminate lice. Additionally, using a hot air device designed for lice removal can also be effective. It's important to follow up with combing and thorough cleaning to prevent reinfestation.
