Head lice removal and control begins at home. When a child or other family member becomes infested with head lice it is important to take steps to prevent and control the spread of it throughout your home. Therefore we at Family Lice Removal have put together a checklist of how to prevent the spread of head lice in your home. Head lice are most frequently spread by direct head to head or hair to hair contact and sometimes by sharing belongings.

• Floors rugs, pillows and upholstered furniture needs to thoroughly vacuumed; there is no need to discard the vacuum after use.
• Any clothing toys or linens that where used by the individual two days before the infestation need to be washed and dried at the hottest settings and any other clothing items that cannot be washed need to be either dry cleaned or sealed in a plastic hag for 10 days to kill nits.
• Combs need to be soaked in rubbing alcohol, Lysol, or a lice killing solution for an hour.
• Make sure to check every family member for head lice and only treat the family members with confirmed head lice.

Head lice removal has become harder in recent years as head lice have become increasingly resistant to traditional treatments and shampoos requiring many parents to seek the help of a head lice removal service.
