Natural Head Lice Removal Tactics

By Edward Wood


A parent or guardian will never enjoy peace of mind knowing that there are insects eating away into the head of his or her child. Head lice removal should be a priority for any parent or guardian. In fact, it should be a search for a permanent solution to avoid an infestation that could lead to skin diseases and an itchy experience.

Regular combing of hair and keeping it neat will produce excellent results because it keeps the scalp clean. In the process of tiding the hair, the insects either fall off or can be removed manually. Once they are cut off from the blood supply that they depend on, they will die. Keep the hair dry such that the environment is uninhabitable for them.

Use products that have pyrethrum. This is one of the most effective remedies when fighting insects. In fact, it has been used in almost all products used to fight insects. It works by attacking the nervous system of the lice, causing them to be incapacitated and eventually die. You will need to apply the product when the hair is already dry. This is an effective way of preventing resistance. A follow up application is done 7-10 days later.

Olive oil is commonly used in the kitchen but has more applications than that. It is preferred as a solution because it comes in its natural form. This means that there are no side effects and the target insects do not develop resistance. The oil will also be treating your skin beyond killing the bugs. The oil works by suffocating the bugs such that they die off.

Use the hair drier to kill the insect using heat. This method is only effective to some extent and depends on how well you apply it. The hair drier should be used on a head that has just been washed. The little buggers will be bothered by the heat and therefore die or escape. The effectiveness of this approach depends on how much heat you can take.

Hair dunk is an option you should consider. The idea is to drown the rice in water and leave them floating. You can add insecticide into the water to boost the potency of killing these bugs. Take it a notch higher by adding soap or a substance that causes your hair to cake on the scalp. Leave the head to dry to the point of cracking. No insect can survive that kind of treatment.

Vinegar is an alternative. It works well in the kitchen when dealing with grease. On your hair, it will eliminate the substance helping these bugs to hold on. With no grip, they fall off as you clean or comb. They can be used alone or with other substances.

Home remedies are preferred because the target insects do not develop resistance. This means that you can use the methods over and other. However, the rate of success depends on individual situation. One method will succeed in one person better than the other. Remember that the best way to keep away these insects is housekeeping. A clean and neat environment will always be a discouragement for insects.
