It’s very difficult to figure out who has lice and who doesn’t.

While symptoms of head lice are many, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, signs like itching won’t start for most contaminated individuals until up to six weeks into the infestation.

Getting Rid Of Lice Is Easy, Prevention Isn’t

Professional lice removal companies are designed for the ease and convenience of parents who have no desire to spend hours combing through their children’s hair, only to find they missed a few nits and the infestation has launched all over again.

Miami Lice Removal, for example, provides their natural lice removal treatment in Miami Beach, and offers three main services:In-home lice removal, lice removal salon, and complete home inspection and lice removal cleaning.

For a thorough and 100% lice removal result, people who have sought help from professional lice removal services can also benefit from the complete home inspection and cleaning.

Take Precautions In The Face Of an Infestation

Lice can pass easily from one person to another when individuals come into close contact and/or share personal belongings. One thing to remember: having lice isn’t a sign of poor hygiene or uncleanness. In fact, lice don’t really discriminate when it comes to heads.

So, what should be done to prevent lice infestation (and stop it from spreading!) in the first place?

Sharing May Not Be Caring, After All…

Personal belongings, especially items that touch the head, get shared a lot in every household. This needs to be stopped! Avoid sharing:

Ø  Hair clips and accessories

Ø  Scarves and coats

Ø  Towels

Ø  Headsets and ear-buds

Ø  Combs and brushes

Ridding Your Home of Lice

If not latched to a human head, lice can only survive for 24-48 hours. Even then, it’s probably a good practice to wash the bedding of anyone who has, or is being treated for, head lice.

Other precautions that can be taken:

Ø  Clothing worn in the past 2 days should be washed in hot water.

Ø  If a child has a favorite plush toy, it should be placed in the hot dryer of half an hour.

Guarding Against Head Lice with Professional Help

Unfortunately there’s very little parents can do when it comes to lice prevention.

Kids will be kids. Therefore, your best defense against complete lice removal and its prevention is Miami Lice Removal, a professional lice removal service that ensures you and your kids are lice in just a few hours.
