Inspect
- Check each household member with a magnifying glass in bright light for lice/nits (eggs)

- Use a fine-tooth or special lice/nit comb. Remove any remaining nits by hand using a
throw-away glove). - Hair should remain slightly damp while removing nits
- If hair dries during combing, dampen slightly with water
- For head lice, part hair into sections. Do one section at a time starting on top of head.
Longer hair may take 1 to 2 hours. - Lift a 1- to 2-inch wide strand of hair. Place comb as close to scalp as possible and
comb with a firm, even motion away from scalp. - Pin back each strand of hair after combing
- Clean comb often. Wipe nits away with tissue and discard in a plastic bag. Seal bag
and discard to prevent lice from coming back. - After combing, thoroughly recheck for lice/nits. Repeat combing if necessary.
- Check daily for any lice/nits that you missed.
- A second treatment must be done in 7 to 10 days to kill any newly hatched lice.
