Our clients often ask us why they need our service, when they can buy lice shampoos
such as Rid at their local pharmacy. Here's why we don't use Rid.

Rid and other lice shampoos only kill adult lice and adolescent newts. These shampoos work by attacking the bug's central nervous system.  Because baby lice or "nymphs" have not yet developed a central nervous system, they can not be killed.  In addition,
lice shampoos don't kill lice eggs or "nits".  So, while you may kill the adult bugs, their eggs will remain, only to hatch a few days later starting the cycle all over again.  This
is why lice is so hard to eliminate!

In addition, lice shampoos contain toxic chemicals which can enter your system through the skin on your scalp.  Many adult lice have become resistant to these chemicals, so in many cases, the shampoos are completely useless.

The only way to guarantee the complete removal of head lice is by hand picking each
and every bug and nit. This is exactly the service we provide!
