Why Nit-Picking is the Only Way to Treat Lice

For such miniscule creatures, head lice can serve to wreak a whole lot of havoc in our lives. While they certainly don’t present any risk of disease or harm, there is a natural reaction of disgust to the idea of having parasites living in one’s hair.

This is pesticide free, and it’s made worse by the fact that head lice are so notoriously difficult to get rid of. The adult lice themselves are the size of a sesame seed, and light brown to gray in color, making them difficult to spot. The nits, on the other hand, are even smaller, and close to the scalp, practically camouflaged within the strands of hair.

Usually, the first sign of head lice that people tend to notice is the incessant itching. Just hearing about head lice makes you want to itch like nobody’s business! This constant urge to itch can get quite tedious, and even cause scalp inflammation and infection if the infestation goes on for too long.

Nit-Picking—Tried and Tested

At Lice Busters Miami, we promise our clients convenient, pesticide free lice removal services. These services entail a pesticide free treatment that is in the form of expert nit-picking. Using a specially designed comb, our lice removal experts go section by section, picking out head lice and nits from the scalp until the coast is completely clear.

This may seem like a lengthy, tiring process, but the fact of the matter is that this is the method that truly works.

You may find yourself turning toward home remedies or perhaps some over the counter medication to treat the infestation, but this is where you make the biggest mistake.

Home remedies are entirely ineffective, and while they may initially give the illusion of successful removal, the infestation will be back with a vengeance soon enough.

 

As for chemical lice shampoos and lotions, these products are not only ineffective, but present many dangerous risks to one’s health as well. There is research to prove that lice have developed a resistance to pyrethroids, a main active ingredient in over the counter lice removal products.

At the end of the day, you won’t just be failing in getting rid of the lice, but managing to damage your hair and your well-being too, in the form of allergic reactions and other side effects.

Don’t take the risk—turn to our professional, organic nit-picking head lice removal treatment. We have centers located in Miami, Coral Gables, and other regions in Florida, providing  home inspection and cleaning services, in-home treatments, and school and summer camp screenings as well.
