Learn how to clear up an infestation by getting rid of head lice as well as any pests that may have transferred to bedding, toys, and other surfaces in the home.

Did you recently get the dreaded call from your child’s school about an outbreak of head lice? Getting rid of lice can be challenging. While these pests may be tiny—only about 2 to 3 millimeters long—they are a big nuisance. According to the Mayo Clinic, lice feed on the blood in the scalp, which can cause serious itching and irritation. They may also cause sores on the neck, shoulders, or scalp that are the result of scratching these areas.

Each adult louse (the singular form of lice) can lay as many as 10 eggs each day. Within 2 weeks, each of these nits, as they’re called, will have hatched and reached adulthood, making it capable of reproducing and making the infestation even more serious. The lice can spread from one person to another when hats, brushes, pillows, or other items are shared. This is why they are more common among young children who are more likely to be sharing such items, though adults can certainly get lice as well. Read on to learn how to get rid of lice ASAP.
