Oops. Your child has come home from camp or vacation with head lice! In next to no time you will discover how many various head lice treatments are available. But,An Effective Nit Picker is the Key to Removing Head Lice Articles you may not be aware that the most powerful treatment long-term depends on either finding a professional nitpicker or becoming a good nitpicker on your own. Various lice treatment shampoos and conditioners can kill living lice (or bugs), but they do not kill the nits (or eggs) that bring about re-infestation if not altogether removed. Lice nits (eggs) can survive all kinds of treatment product with unbelievable “stick-to-itiveness” as they are actually stuck with a glue-like bonding agent to the hair shaft. Nits will stay viable until they are manually removed (or picked) from the hair shaft. So, the only sure way to ensure a truly effective lice treatment is to call for the services of a professional nitpicker just like those employed by Lice Treatment Center LLC (LTC).

Why Should You Call LTC for a Professional Nitpicker?

LTC's experienced nitpickers will check the entire scalp and hair section by section, looking for living lice and nits. If they locate any, they will remove both live bugs and their eggs (or nits) by hand. Being a nitpicker is not an simple job. Nit picking is unexciting, time consuming and requires the patience of a saint with excellent eyesight! A great nitpicker will take a lot of time inspecting the scalp looking for lice that have crawled onto the hair from anywhere -another person's hair, a piece of furniture, a shared piece of clothing, hair brushes or some other item used by another infested person. Although it can be a tiresome process, a proper nitpicker will make the difference between effective and non-effective head lice treatment. A great nitpicker will pursue every last nit possible and get rid of all of them.

Parents might try to handle an infestation initially but in the end, just don't have the time or patience it takes to search every string of hair and manually remove all the lice and nits. That's why there are expert nitpickers, like those technicians from LTC, who will do that task for them. LTC technicians will do all of the dirty work required to ensure that all lice and nits are removed. LTC's professional nitpickers will also advise you on the most effective preventive products and practices available to avoid future infestations.

Some parents are extremely horrified to act as a nit picker for their family. Some will also expect giving boys very short cuts or chopping off a girl's long hair in order to prevent lice. Yet, careful nit picking will still be necessary on hair of any length to make sure that no tiny, extremely difficult to see nits stay stuck to the hair shafts. LTC's professional nit pickers will arrive at the home equipped with magnifying lights that enable them to spot those tiny residual eggs. Sometimes even the greatest nitpicker may not be able to catch every last microscopic nit during the initial treatment, so aftercare treatment by parents is also important. This involves daily inspecting, oil applications and treatment shampoos, and combing with a special comb must be continued for at least 7-10 days proceeding treatment.
