It’s estimated 2% – 4% of school-aged children experience head lice at any given time.

The problem can be more prevalent when ineffective treatments are used. Research shows 98% of head lice are now resistant to the most common over-the-counter treatments.

While there is no way to prevent head lice from occurring in your school, it is helpful to educate staff and parents to assist in preventing the spread once head lice is diagnosed in a classroom.

In a clinical trial, our treatment protocol was shown to be greater than 99% effective in eradicating head lice. We use a non-toxic solution that acts as a suffocant, killing all adult bugs. We follow up  with our heated air professional device that dehydrates all nits.
