Winters can be quite bad in Montgomery County and Delaware County. While fewer bugs in general at this time of the year is one of the few goods things about winter, you should know that not all bugs take a winter vacation. One of these pests that can still strike when it’s cold out is head lice.
These tiny, parasitic insects make a home under your hair near your scalp where they feed off the blood underneath. While winter weather can result in fewer after-school sporting events and less outdoor play where kids may come into contact with one another, lice can still be spread from an infested child to yours. There will still be gym classes indoors as well as other opportunities where head-to-head contact may occur or situations where an infested person may share a hat or helmet with your child.
HANDLING HEAD LICE IS FAIRLY SIMPLE
While head lice are not considered dangerous, the itching and discomfort they can cause definitely makes them a problem to be handled. If you haven’t been faced with this particular problem yet, you may be at a loss as to how to handle it. Other parents may have advice on how to get rid of lice from your child, and this advice can vary from good to awful. Home remedies and over-the-counter products occupy the awful end of the spectrum whereas finding a good head lice treatment salon is rather good advice.
As a parent, you may not have been aware that there are businesses specifically devoted to getting rid of head lice. Just as there are professionals for handling other problems, such as mechanics to repair your car or roofers to fix your roof, there are head lice removal experts that can handle this problem for you and any infested family members quickly and effectively.
OUR HEAD LICE TREATMENT SALON KILLS LICE FAST!
Head lice can survive the winter months simply by finding a warm head to live on. When you suspect a family member may have lice, you should bring them to our head lice removal clinic at Montgomery County. With two locations, we’re a short drive away whether you’re in Montgomery or Delaware County.
The first thing we do when you bring an infested family member to our head lice treatment salon is to confirm that they do in fact have lice. After confirming their presence with a simple head check, we get to work by starting with a meticulous comb-out to get rid of any lice or eggs, called nits, that we can see. Because any missed nits can hatch and restart the infestation, we follow this comb-out with a killing agent that’s applied to your loved one’s hair and scalp. It’s completely safe and all-natural and is 99.9 percent effective at killing lice and their nits. If you are in the area, learn more about our head lice treatment in Frederick services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can lice be completely prevented?
While there is no guaranteed way to completely prevent head lice, you can significantly reduce the risk. Teaching children to avoid head-to-head contact, not sharing personal items like hats and brushes, and using a preventive lice spray can all help lower the chances of an infestation.
Q: Do lice prevention sprays actually work?
Lice prevention sprays that contain natural repellents like mint, rosemary, or tea tree oil can help deter lice. While no product offers 100% protection, regular use of a quality prevention spray has been shown to reduce the likelihood of lice taking hold.
Q: How often should I check my child’s head for lice? Families near Blue Bell can also visit our professional lice removal in Blue Bell page for local details.
We recommend checking your child’s head at least once a week, especially during the school year. Regular head checks help catch lice early before they spread to other family members. Use a fine-toothed nit comb and good lighting for the most accurate results.
Q: Should I keep my child home from school if their classmate has lice?
No, you do not need to keep your child home simply because a classmate has lice. The CDC states that lice are not a health hazard and do not spread disease. However, you should perform a thorough head check and consider using a preventive spray as a precaution.
Q: What is the best way to prevent lice at summer camp? We also offer lice treatment in Bridgeport for nearby families.
Before camp, teach your child not to share hats, brushes, pillows, or headphones. Apply a lice prevention spray daily and braid or tie back long hair. Pack your child’s belongings in a sealed bag and do a thorough head check when they return home.
