Question:
Home remedy for keeping lice away?
Answers:
First and foremost, determine where the lice are coming from. Whether its a friend's house, or a friend that visits. If they aren't treated properly, they will keep re-infesting your home. For an infested head, tea tree oil will fumigate the bugs. Use T-36/C-5 or T-40/C3 which are the safest. Don't be stingy with the oil, a 1 oz bottle can treat an entire head. The smell is a little much but it works. For kids, you might want to cover their face because the fumes make the eyes sting a little. After oil is applied, wrap hair in a towel for 10 minutes, use the nit comb and shampoo afterwards. Then add tea tree oil to shampoo to keep them away. They hate it. Do a second treatment 7 to 10 days later in case you missed any eggs. Make sure to clean bedding, furniture, and stuffed animals. I heard of people putting tea tree in a vaporizer and letting it mist an entire room, don't know for sure if that would work but its worth a try.Tea tree oil generally cost $10-15 a bottle but it works and its safe. Good Luck
