Lice are completely dependent upon their host for food and warmth.
Lice can survive completely void of a host for up to 72 hours for an adult louse bug or up to 14 days for NITs.
Lice do not spread disease or infection.
Lice are “crawling” type bugs and do not fly or jump. They have claws that allow them to grasp onto their hosts firmly making removal difficult.
NITs are attached to the hair shaft with a natural type of glue substance making their removal extremely difficult.
There are usually more NITs than adult louse bugs on any one host at any give time.
Because lice feed off human blood, this causes a natural irritation to the host and scratching occurs.
Head lice are not fond of any type of oily substance such as olive oil and tea tree oil that makes it hard for them to cling to the host. They will avoid hosts with this type of oil on or about the scalp if possible.
