Head lice cannot jump or fly, however…

Usually those little buggers are spread between people by physical contact. And with school now underway, head lice can become a major issue. The most common symptom is intense itching on the back of the head and neck.

To make matters worse, it’s not too hard to spread head lice. Little children aren’t fully aware that sharing combs, brushes, hat’s, towels, pillowcases, and clothing with their friends at school could result in bringing head lice into your home and into their beds and surroundings. Head lice can be caught by any age. They don’t age discriminate.

We, here at Delk Pest Control recommend using lice insecticide shampoo to control the infestation. Please contact your physician or the local health department before application and follow directions carefully when using any of the products available.
