Woops. Your child has arrived back home from summer camp or vacation with head lice! Soon you will discover how many various head lice treatments are available. But, you may not be aware that the most valuable treatment long-term depends on either locating a professional nitpicker or being a good nitpicker on your own. Many lice treatment shampoos and conditioners can kill living lice (or bugs), but they do not kill the nits (or eggs) that cause re-infestation unless altogether removed. Lice nits (eggs) can survive every kind of treatment product with unbelievable "stick-to-itiveness" as they are actually fixed with a glue-like bonding agent to the hair shaft. Nits will stay viable until they are removed (or picked) by hand from the hair shaft. So, the only definite 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 Call LTC for a Professional Nitpicker?

LTC's trained nitpickers will inspect the entire scalp and hair section by section, seeking live lice and nits. If they find any, they will manually remove both live bugs and their eggs (or nits). Being a nitpicker is not an easy job. Nit picking is monotonous, time consuming and needs demands the patience of a saint with fantastic vision! A great nitpicker will take a long time inspecting the scalp checking for lice that have crawled onto the head from anywhere -some other person's hair, a piece of furniture, shared clothing, hair brushes or some other item used by another infested person. Although it can be a tiresome process, a good nitpicker will make the difference between effective and non-effective head lice treatment. A good nitpicker will track every last nit possible and get rid of all of them.

Parents might attempt to handle an infestation initially but in the end, just don't have the days or patience it takes to look for every strand of hair and manually get rid of all the lice and nits. That's why there are expert nitpickers, like those technicians from LTC, who will perform that task for them. LTC technicians will do all of the dirty work needed 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 prevent future infestations.

Some parents are too horrified to act as a nit picker for their family. Some will also expect giving boys super short cuts or chopping off a girl's long hair in order to prevent lice. Nevertheless, thorough nit picking will still be required on hair of any length to ensure that no tiny, extremely difficult to see nits stay connected 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. Even the best nitpicker wont be able to get every last microscopic nit during the first treatment, so follow-up care treatment by parents is also critical. 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.
