Head lice is a pest that can cause a good deal of trouble. While it may not usually fit into some of the same categories that we see with issues like ants and mosquitoes, it can cause some problems and may even keep you home for a few days. Understanding more about head lice and how this can affect you and your family can make a big difference.

First, we can take a look at the size of the head lice. The adult is going to be about the size of a sesame seed and the egg is even smaller. These are really tiny, which is part of why they are so hard to find until you have quite a few of them to deal with. Head lice are tiny insects that will spend the scalp of the human and they will feed on blood. The eggs, which often go by the name of nits, are found glued at the base of the hair. Once they hatch, they will walk around and move into the hair and the scalp, while also moving from one head to another if two people come in contact at some point. They are not able to fly or jump, but they can move around by headwear, hats, combs, and brushes.

These head lice are not going to cause much of a health risk, but you do want to remove them because they will irritate the scalp. There are a few steps that you can take to remove head lice as efficiently as possible::

# Use a metal lice comb to remove the lice and the eggs. Take the comb that has the eggs and the lice into a soapy water mix and flush it down the toilet when you are all done.

# When you are all done with this, you can then boil the metal comb for about 15 minutes before you decide to use it on someone else.

# Check the person who had the infestation every three days to see if there are newly hatched lice to deal with.
