JFH
We thought we had eradicatged them. We even got her ahir cut short. Then they appeared again. We washed the sdheets, sprayed the room, couches, pillows, bike helmets, stuffed animals etc... We have given her the RID shampoo and pick her hair with a lice comb daily.

They can be a pain to get rid of, but you're doing everything right.
I know this is going to sound funny, but I'm a family daycarer with 7 kids a day, and headlice make the rounds all the time.... and this is what I do.
I don't wash the sheets or pillows. Well, I do - but this is the way I do it.
Lice can't live for more than 48 hours without a human host. So while I treat the kids hair, I strip all the sheets, blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, towels, face cloths etc... and spread put them out in the yard or garage. I don't wash them for 2 days. I then wash them as usual, with a disinfectant added to the wash, and then hang them outside for another 2 days. Iron them when they're dry, if you can. Don't put the same sheets or pillowcases on the bed, always use fresh ones that were laundered at least 3 days ago.
I use Lice mousse, which you apply and leave for 10-15 minutes and then shampoo and condition as normal - but don't rinse the conditioner out. Leave the conditioner on for at least 30 minutes, with a shower cap on, as it smothers any lice that are left, and softens (and kills) the eggs. Then rinse as normal, and use the nit comb, dipping it in boiling water every few minutes... to kill any remaining lice and eggs. Lice seem to like the fruity smelling shampoos and conditioners, so use regular shampoo and a regular conditioner - or use a medicated type. have your daughter use her own brush, comb, hair-ties, head bands or whatever, and make sure they are lice-free as well, by not using them either for the 2 days.. having 2 sets of everything is a lot easier than treating lice constantly.
Vacuum everything throughly, including the couch, carpet and mattresses, and place a clean sheet or towel over the head rest areas of the couch, chairs, etc so that anyone sitting on the furniture can't pick up a bug when they lean their head back.. Don't allow your daughter to lay on the couch, or on the floor for at least those 2 days. As long as lice or eggs have no human host, ( they won't bother animals) for 48 hours, they will die - so your furniture, bedding, bike helmets etc will be lice-free after 48 hours.
Any eggs that are left, will hatch in less than 5 days, so every day or so, check her hair throughly, because the nymphs, when they hatch, are almost clear and next to impossible to see. The re-treat her hair after 7 days ( or whatever your product reccommends)
You should wipe them out in one go - but chances are she's getting them from her friends at school, so keep an eye on them too - so talk to their parents about treating their kids too.
I hope this helps...
Even typing about it made me start to itch ! LOL !

do i have to vacuum and wash everything every day after treatment for lice?
samantha m
everyone was treated and combed.everything was washed and vacuumed and sprayed with the lice spray.everyday i spray everything in the house with a mix of tea tree oil and peppermint oil and i also have humidifiers with the oils in it as well. i comb everyone everyday and we all use a lice repellent hair spray and will retreat with pesticide shampoo on day 7. do i need to continue vacuuming furniture and washing bedding everyday until the second treatment, i am so tired but dont want to go through this again.
Answer
Head lice cannot live for long away from the human head, so cleaning the whole house is unnecessary.
Washing pillow cases and towels that have come into contact with the head of the person with lice is beneficial at the beginning of treatment, but more than that is not necessary.
Essential oils that you can add to your spray are tea tree, lavender, rosemary and geranium. Spraying the house will have no impact on the head lice (although it may help you feel better!) Better to make a dilute spray of up to 20 drops of essential oil per 100ml water in a spray bottle and use this on the hair of your family members.
I also recommend the conditioner and comb method of checking for head lice as it is much easier to find them if they are there than if you are just using a comb on its own. Do make sure the comb you use is designed for head lice, with long metal teeth that are close together. You don't need to do this every day, but every second or third day until you have gone at least 10 days without seeing any live lice.
Good luck!
