How To Get Rid Of Lice In Your Home
www.rovepestcon...
Preventing lice should be your first thought when it comes to getting rid of lice, but if you already have an issue, here are a few tips for how to get rid of lice in your home.
If you suspect lice or know you have it, there are a few steps you should take to prevent future outbreaks
You should treat all bed sheets, clothing, and hair utensils that may have come in contact with the lice. Lice is only transferable through direct contact so if you have it, the first step of how to get rid of lice is to sanitize and remove any infected object.
You can soak hair items in question in either very hot water, or rubbing alcohol to kill off any lice or eggs that may be attached to them. Intense heat is one effective method for killing lice as well using chemicals like alcohol or specialty shampoo for getting rid of lice.
If you do have lice in your home, additional steps you can take is to thoroughly clean you areas in your home where lice could hide out. One such area is in the carpet. Frequent vacuuming should become a priority in case lice made its way into it and started to lay eggs.
An additional area to treat would be where you sleep or any clothes you may have had in contact with the lice. Thoroughly clean your bed sheets and pillow cases or clothing in hot water, and dry on high for at least 30 minutes to kill off any lice that may have been present.
Over-the-counter remedies may not be your best option for an effective way of how to get rid of lice
There are a variety of over-the-counter methods you can buy for getting rid of lice, but the downside to this is that lice are very adaptive creatures and have been developing resistance to some of these treatments. Lice have been around for thousands of years dating back to ancient Egypt and beyond and they don’t show any signs of going away.
Lice have been ever evolving and adapting to how humans live and have developed many resistances to chemical treatments. Unfortunately this means there aren’t really any quick fixes to resolving a lice issue, thus making prevention the most effective means for keeping you and your home lice free.
Many people have found going a natural route the best option for treating and getting rid of lice.
A few natural home treatments for getting rid of head lice
Beyond the prevention steps outlined above of killing off lice, the next step is removing them from your head and/or body. Even though this can be time consuming and mind numbing, it is the surefire piece to combine with other efforts. As with most pest control efforts, a combination of effective modes increases success rates.
Vinegar - With this method it’s best to cover your head with a half vinegar half water mixture or half mineral oil. Cover your hair with a shower cap to trap the lice in the vinegar solution and leave it overnight. Since vinegar is very acidic this can help kill off the lice, nymph (baby & adolescent lice), as well as nits (eggs). Simply wash out the solution with your regular shampoo the next morning. You’ll want to use this approach several times a week for a month or two. Also be sure to frequently comb your hair with a nit comb to eliminate any lice or nits or eggs. Keep in mind that nit combs are not going to grab all nits, so it is important to use a bright light and do a visual inspection as you go to manually remove any missed nits.
Mayonnaise - This method focuses on suffocating the lice on your head. Thoroughly cover your head with mayonnaise and cover it with a shower cap. Keep this on your head for at least five hours. Then simply wash your hair out with regular shampoo, and comb out your hair with a nit comb to remove the lice that you can. Do this at minimum once a week for around two months. The difficulty on this is ensuring that air pockets are not left for the lice to find and survive. Also, it is not possible to suffocate nits.
Coconut Oil - This method is similar to the ones above but does seem to have quicker results. You make a solution of coconut oil and camphor and apply this solution in your hair and leave it under a shower cap overnight. This method works on suffocation as well. You should use it every day for five days or more to get rid of any lice issues.
There are several other home remedies that have been shown to be effective, but they all rely on the same principle of either suffocation or using something acidic to kill off the lice. The most important points are to always use visual inspection and removal to any other effort being used and continue treatment until all lice and nits are certainly gone. Leaving a few survivors will allow the stronger lice to build a super population that is more resistant to control efforts.

olive oil soak your head with it and wrap it in syran wrap take your nite time T-shirt and pull it off over your head but leave the neck around your hair line to catch any oil that might drip keep it on overnite while you sleep it will wash out of your clothes and beddings AND your hair will be soooo soft repeat in 10-12 days it works!!
Or you could use vinegar and alcohol mix and saturate your hair and leave for 30 mins, wash out and comb with nit comb, then repeat it every day until all lice are gone, along with washing, and spraying all bedding and furniture every day.

It's unfortunate to hear that lice infestations are widespread in your area. Remember, timely and proper treatment can help control and prevent the spread of lice. If you're dealing with an infestation, using appropriate treatment methods can make a significant difference. Stay proactive and take care!
Why tf is this happening god dammit, I just grew out my hair for the first time in my life and I get lice
1 part tea tree oil and 9 part water mixed and massaged on head/hair will keep them away.
Do you guys work in NY State
If i put the big pillows without pillow cases in the sun for whole day in this hot summer days,Does it kill the lice ? Thanks
no it will not be sufficient heat - However you can seal away the pillows for 4 weeks - I find it easier to take all movable items to a laundromat and spend about $ 3 - 8 dollars US. For waterproof bedding (pillow cases and mattress covers) submerge them in a 1/4 full tub of straight hot water add a couple quarts of boiling hot water just to keep up the heat for about an hour - rinse them, twist out the water, and then hang dry.
@@medievalvariation8408 Lice seem to come out of nowhere when i sleep and get in my underware. Lucky not in my hair. I started rubbing my body and clothing in D.E. Diatomaceous Earth. It seems mildly effective, but i still find some very tiny Lice on my underwear. I think they are attracted to heat and blood, as i have allergy and have many itchy scars. I dont know where they are comming from in the middle of the night. They r behaving almost like bed bugs, but they remain on my underwear. If i can't find the source, but keep them away from me, will they naturally starve to death, or will they keep breeding like cockroaches?
actually the sunlight can produce more lice in your hair so dont do it or you will have a lice in your hair forever (sorry for my bad english)
They can’t live off your body for over 24 to 48 hours , they need blood to live
@@suesan5111 Sounds like you pubic lice or “crabs”. 🫢😱
What about ironing out your clothes? Will that kill lice?

Excellent question. 👍🏼

@@blackrain6ft5 how? It's legit an obvious awnser the tempature from the iron would obviously kill any big especially if it's small and it's getting compressed use your head.
Anyone else noticed the spirit orb at 0:22 of this post? 🤔🤓

I'm so grateful for curing me from pubic lice Dr. Oyetoro you're a Savior you saved my life thank you so much I really appreciate
Hi Nancy do you mind sharing what helped you?
I'm glad to hear you found effective help! It's important to share success stories to help others dealing with similar issues.
Rule #1. Do be Dirt Nasty!!
Absolutely, cleanliness is key!
Does DE powder?
Yes, DE powder can help kill lice by dehydrating them. Just be sure to use food-grade DE safely.
@@RovePestControl I can't see them. I believe they're not bedbugs, fleas, or mites. I believe they're body lice from the drug apartment blankets in living room corner. We already killed & completely wiped out bedbugs w/ gallon motor wand Ortho. I have Temprid FX & Food Grade DE in my own apartment always spread everywhere. But I keep being forced to unsafe dates weekly. I made a spray of acv & essential oils started last month. Maybe my efforts here is what's keeping them from growing big enough to see. I got to find a better woman.
