Discovering that someone in your home has head lice can be very troubling
indeed. The LoveBugs® Salon is here to service you as quickly, painlessly,
and efficiently as possible. We have put together the following to help
answer some of the more frequently asked questions:
Q. Where did lice come from?
A. Lice have reportedly been around since the ancient times and even a young George Washington stated in his
book The Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation “Kill no … lice… in the sight of others; if
it be upon the clothes of your companions, put it off privately, and if it be upon your own clothes, return thanks to
him who puts it off”. LoveBugs® will privately take care of your lice problem. The LoveBugs® non-toxic, lice
removal technique and special formula were invented in Greece over 40 years ago and brought here to America.
Q. What are Nits?
A. Nits, the eggs of the head louse, are small yellowish-white, oval shaped eggs that are glued to the hair
shaft and are laid by live lice. You cannot “catch nits”. Once a nit is laid, it takes 7-10 days for a nit to hatch and
another 7-10 days for the female to mature and begin laying her own eggs.
Q. What are lice?
A. Lice are tiny insects and are approximately the size of sesame seeds. Lice have 6 legs and claws to grasp
the hair shaft. Lice are wingless and cannot jump or fly, nor do they live on other body parts such as beards and
eyebrows and they can travel very fast. Head lice live on human hosts and do not thrive on dogs, cats or other
pets. Head lice live for about 30 days on a host and a female louse could lay up to 100 nits.
Q. How common is the lice problem?
A. Head lice are almost as widespread and contagious as the common cold. Catching lice is the number one
reason that kids miss school across the country. Although the “no-nit” policy that schools implement seems harsh,
it comes with good intentions and is absolutely necessary.
Q. How did we get lice?
A. Lice are transmitted from one human host to another through head-to-head contact and/or the sharing of
personal items such as combs, brushes, pillows, sleeping bags, helmets, etc. School-age children are infected with
head lice more commonly because they are in closer contact to one another. Lice prefer clean hair and are equal
opportunity annoyers so getting lice has nothing to do with socio-economic background and getting lice is not a
disgrace – keeping lice is.
Q. Is the service that LoveBugs® provides guaranteed?
A. The service LoveBugs® provides is 100% Guaranteed to free our clients of head lice-please call for an
appointment and further details.
Q. What kinds of products will LoveBugs® use on me?
A. The LoveBugs® products are non-toxic, 100% vegetarian, 100% natural, never tested on animals and
organic.
Q. Would a pesticide be more effective in lice removal?
A. There are risks associated with exposing yourself and/or your child to harmful chemicals and there is
strong circumstantial evidence that head lice are becoming increasingly resistant to commercially available
chemical treatments. Further, home remedies such as olive oil, vinegar, mayonnaise and petroleum jelly (i.e.
Vaseline) do not appear to solve the head lice problem either.
Q. How does the LoveBugs® head lice removal process work?
A. Our LadyBugs® will manually remove the live lice and the nits (eggs) from the hair and scalp with the
LoveBugs® lice removal technique and special formula that were invented in Greece over 40 years ago.
Q. Can I get lice from a family member?
A. Anyone can get lice from any person with whom they have close contact. Very often, children with head lice
quickly pass the lice to other family members: 85% of siblings, 75% of mothers, 20% of fathers, and 50% of
babysitters, nannies or housekeepers catch head lice in a single household.
Thank you for considering our service. We will do our very best to service you as quickly,
efficiently, and painlessly as possible.
