Do not do this! If you do you'll only increase your risks of exposing yourself and your home to potentially toxic substances. If someone tells you to do this, don't believe it and don't waste your money. Remember lice are on heads, not inside homes!

I wish it were! Killing head lice is tricky because you don't want to use anything really potent on your child's skin so most chemicals are only just strong enough to kill lice but often don't. You get left with a few live lice and within 2-3 weeks they are back up to full strength and you still have your problem.

No, lice cannot survive for more than about 24-36 hours when removed from a person and they do not live in cracks or crevices like cockroaches or other household pests. Spraying furniture, carpets and bedding with an insecticide serves no real purpose other than providing some margin of psychological comfort. Although such sprays kill an occasional stray louse, family members who are already being treated with insecticidal shampoos would be exposed unnecessarily to additional pesticides.

Lice are small, wingless, grayish-white insects with flattened, elongate bodies and somewhat oval heads. They are about 1/16 to 1/8 inch long.

Like olive oil, mayonnaise, butter and vaseline are smothering agents. However, unlike olive oil, these substances are difficult to get out of the hair, particularly in the case of vaseline. Children are often repelled by the smell of butter and mayonnaise and both these substances can turn rancid, and cause problems if children suck on their hair. Olive Oil is the best smothering agent. It has been lab-tested and found to be effective in killing head lice.

All Zodiac products labeled to kill ticks will be effective, but some formulations work faster or last longer than others. Ticks can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours to die after being exposed to the active ingredients in the product. The quickest way to kill ticks is to expose them directly to a wet product like a shampoo, spray, wipe, or sponge-on (dip). While Zodiac Collars or Spot Ons may kill ticks at a slightly slower rate, they provide the longest term protection.

We don't recommend using hair spray other than our own Grooming Mist, simply because we don't know all the ingredients that go into all the hair sprays on the market and some ingredients may be counter-productive. Grooming Mist is specially formulated to be used with the other New Generation products.

Absolutely! We use very high quality (high cost) slide pots and like a fine race car, maintenance is critical. If you keep the pot clean and lubricated it will last many years. If you neglect them then try to restore them with a generic cleaner you will just have to replace them. Don't just use any "contact cleaner", see our Detailed Slide Pot Care Procedure.

We recommend you wait at least 4-6 hours after your session before you go to the gym for a work out. The heat and perspiration may alter your results if you do not wait at least this amount of time.

The frequency of use depends on your skin type. After your first session in the Spa, you should have an understanding of how your skin reacts with the solution. If you have fair skin, you may need to use the booth a few times at first in order to get the tan you desire.

Answer: No. Spraying the house is NOT recommended. Fumigants and room sprays can be toxic if inhaled.

Head lice do not hop, jump or fly. They migrate through direct contact with an infested person and their belongings. Pets do not transmit head lice, and poor personal hygiene does not cause an infestation. In fact, head lice prefer clean, healthy heads. Head lice do not live in, nor spontaneously generate from, the dirt, trees or the air. They live on the human head!

No, actually they are not. They are annoying, they itch, they eat blood like a mosquito, defecate on your scalp, and they are disgusting...but they are not harmful.

middot; First thing is don’t panic. Lice are a nuisance and have been stigmatized; they are NOT a serious medical problem.

Not necessarily. If members of your family don't share personal items, and if proper cleanup measures are taken, the infestation shouldn't spread. But, it has been known to happen!

Head lice CRAWL very fast and require head to head contact for transmission. It is possible that because of the way young children play, head lice are seen more widely amongst primary school children than adolescents or adults.
