[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised no one has mentioned Ivernectin. That is what is effective. You can use any generic Ivernectin (cvs, etc). You do not have to do a perfect comb out with Ivernectin, as if used according to directions, it will kill lice eggs/nits.

To the Ivernectin, I also added an all-natural lice prevention detangler. It can help with girls to keep their hair up in a bun. Kids didn't want to be told not to hug eachother.

The home lice kits (Rid, etc) are not effective in killing the lice eggs - for those to be effective you would need to do a 100% perfect comb out.

I also went to Lice Centers of America. I got better at the comb out by seeing what they did. They were also helpful in countering some of the non-fact-based information out there, there is a lot of it for lice. It was a good experience, just cannot afford $200 and the time involved each time my kid got re-infected with lice. (It was going around a while at our school with siblings in different classes.)[/quote]

I wouldn’t use chemicals when a proper combing is what you need. I did it myself. It takes time but is not hard. [/quote]
