The end of summer likely means head lice infestations:

You get the dreaded call from school, your child has lice. Whats are the do’s and don’ts?

DON’T just google “lice removal” or “lice treatments near me” and go with the first person that answers.

DO your due diligence and ask the important questions such as: 

• How long has the technician been removing head lice and what was their training?
• How do you get rid of lice and nits?
• What is the cost of lice removal and what does it include? What are the other costs of lice removal?
• What is the cost for your services vs. the cost for lice removal at a clinic?

DON’T just go with lice removal cost and price.

DO research further and dig deeper for details of lice removal pricing. For example:

• What prices for lice removal are you not telling me?
• What are the costs for any tools needed for lice removal?
• What are the costs for any follow up lice removal?

DON’T assume you know the difference between lice removal housecall and lice removal clinic.

DO think about how you and your family may feel for lice removal in the comfort of your own home vs. lice removal in a clinic location where kids will feel uneasy and rinsing the hair is not immediate.

DO everything you can to minimize reinfestation.

DO trust that years in business and experience with lice removal will increase your chances of not being reinfested.

DO start with a google search for lice removal but back it up with asking around-ask pediatricians , school nurses and friends. 

DO Ask the right questions about lice treatment and trust that lice removal house-call’s work, just make an educated decision.

Why is head lice so hard to recognize?

Unfortunately detecting head lice is extremely difficult and very few cases are as obvious as this to recognize.

Contracting head lice after vacations and breaks from school is very common.

This article is going to focus on how to detect head lice on you and your family. While LouseCalls, LLC offers house calls as well as clinic services, it may not always be feasible to enlist in professional services.

So let’s get to it: How can you recognize head lice?

Itching on the scalp, neck or behind the ears. The itchy feeling mimics that of mosquito bites. It actually feels like you may have mosquito bites on your scalp, behind your ears or on your neck. Here is the downfall for using only this method to determine the presence of head lice-not everyone has an allergic reaction to the saliva that is left behind from a lice bite. Similar to mosquito bites, not everyone feels the itch from the bite.

Red bumps, rash or the appearance of “bites” on the back of the neck or behind the ears is another huge sign of head lice. Lice bugs tend to hang out and feed on the back of the neck and behind the ears. This leaves visible red bumps and/or a red rash-thus very visible when looking for this sign.

Of course the appearance of bugs or eggs (nits) in the hair is a definite sign of head lice. This task is much easier said than done. There are a few reasons why this is so difficult to detect. Lice eggs are often the same color of the hair, so they are camouflaged. Bugs are usually even harder to see as they shy away from the light. However, if someone has a very infestation of head lice, often you may see movement and eggs that appear iridescent or “white” in the hair. A true test if you suspect a lice egg is too remove it and put it against white paper and it will pop out as brown and oval.

Get a lice comb!

Use it by combing against the scalp, sprinkle it over plain white paper. Look what pops out on the paper. If there is lice in the head, you will see bugs or eggs on the white paper. Send us a photo at LouseCalls. You can text, email it or compare it to photos on our website.

If you decide to use a professional service for all your lice removal needs, LouseCalls has been helping families for 18 years. We take pride in our excellent customer service and meticulous removal of head lice whether a house call or clinic location. We stand behind our services and are available 7 days a week to help you.

Head Lice Help! Why Hire A Professional Service?

Head lice repeat infestations – That’s why!

Repeat infestations are the biggest reason to hire a professional head lice removal company. Whether it’s your first experience or 10th with getting head lice, it’s very difficult to remove and be 100% lice free. The reason why it is so difficult is because head lice are so difficult to see. You are looking for teeny tiny specs that are usually the same color as the hair.

Here are some of the BUTS…I hear about why people don’t want to hire professional lice removal companies:

BUT…I can do it myself. I can get rid of it, it just came back like a month later.

ANSWER…if it is coming back, you are not getting it ALL out . Louse Calls gets it all out! We are very conservative to make sure all bugs and eggs are removed carefully and meticulously. We want your lice gone just as much as you do.

BUT…it’s so expensive. I don’t want to pay all that money.

ANSWER…If you think about it, you really get a lot for your financial investment in your head lice removal. In Jupiter, Florida, we have a head lice removal clinic, which is homey and private. There are no additional travel or in home fees and we removal all the head lice in about an hour. This same process would probably take you multiple trips to the store and hours of lice removal efforts that would probably still leave eggs behind. Not to mention, possibly missing many days of school and work. This is Lara, she is amazing and runs out lice removal clinic, which can serve people in Martin County, St. Lucie County and Palm Beach County.

House calls for head lice removal are so convenient and private for our clients. We typically can arrive within 1-2 hours, literally drop everything to serve our VIP clients and drive to their doorstep and remove all lice and eggs. Whether you are in Miami-Dade county, Broward County, Palm Beach County, Orlando (Central Florida), Tampa, St. Petersburg (Southwest Florida), St. Lucie County or Martin County —-our head lice house calls Team will drop everything come to you and make your head lice nightmare go away fast and efficiently.

If your children have had head lice in the past it would be pretty common for them to say “hey mom I’m itchy, call Lousecalls” because kids know we get rid of the head lice fast and it’s gone!

Last but not least

BUT… it’s no big deal, it’s just mild.

ANSWER… last time a client told me that it was mild and ended up having Lousecalls make a house call this is what we found on their head to start…

This is months of a head lice infestation.

So the answer is, just because you don’t see very much head lice does not mean that there is not a lot in the hair. Lousecalls was at this clients home within an hour and 2 hours later their child was free from head lice eggs and bugs.

Finally, just on a side-note, Lousecalls is in business to help people get rid of their license. We answer clients 365 days A year, morning, noon and night. We do this because we want to help people.

Summer 2022: After The Boys Of Summer Have Gone

Just like the Don Henley song, “…after the boys of summer have gone…” LouseCalls is seeing an influx of head lice and promising, “the lice bugs of summer will be gone too!”

Like every other summer before 2020, lice bugs have ruined many a campers fun at day and sleep away camp as well as many parents wallets.

As we get back to somewhat normal post Covid life, we are seeing an increase in Head lice infestation. Kids are going back to camp. Camps are requiring lice checks.
We can do pre camp head lice checks and treatments in Palm Beach County, Broward County and Miami Dade county as well as Central Florida Orlando.

The dreaded phone call that your child has head lice from sleep away camp will cost you anywhere between $350-500.

Louse Calls often gets calls from parents whose children have head lice at camp. This frantic call and absorbent high fee can really put a damper on summer fun.

THE BEST SUMMER ADVICE WE CAN GIVE:

Louse Calls of South Florida and Central Florida can either make a head lice housecall or a clinic appoint in our Jupiter location to check children BEFORE AND AFTER CAMP.

This may be a small fee to save a tremendous amount of money if lice is found at camp.
