Adult head lice are gray and about 1/8 inch long about the size of a sesame seed. They often have a tiny dot on their backs. They thrive only on human hair and scalps. Hatching occurs about one week after attachment. read more

(Be sure you are not sensitive too!) Salt water will also kill lice, but will not remove the nits. Hair dryers will kill lice and nits in 30 minutes or less. read more

Lice can only live 24 hours without a host. Wash sheets in hot bleach water and then store them tied up in a trash bag in a closet for about a week (so any leftover eggs can't hatch and multiply). Don't share combs, brushes, etc. Spray your house from ceiling to floor with something like RAID or COMBAT which kill lice, ticks and fleas. read more

Comb out the dead lice with a lice comb or other fine comb. Rinse your hair out with water again. Dry your hair with a towel afterward. read more
