[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, we have dealt with lice numerous times over the years and this is what actually works (I've boiled it down to the minimum compared to the first few times we had it).

If kids are young and your car seats are cloth, vacuum them around the head area the first week.  Throw pillow and bedsheet in the dryer for 40 minutes if you feel inclined the first couple of days. If kids have stuffed animals, bean bag chairs, store away in trash bags for 2 weeks.

Buy Sally's generic tea tree shampoo and conditioner. Have everyone use it. Buy lavender and tea tree oil, mix it with water in a mister and spray on pillows before bed.

Run out immediately and buy a Robi-comb. Use it several times a day on each kid and yourself.  Do not let kids share brushes and perhaps store all brushes and make them use combs (dollar store packs). You can see them on combs as well as wash them more easily.

Run out and buy a flat iron and use on anyone with enough hair. Get as close to scalp as possible, kills nits.

I do not sterilize brushes, glasses or anything like that. They really don't seem to move far from the scalp. [/quote]
