So a case of head louse has shown up in your home and now you need a child head louse treatment that can kill the bugs. There's nothing to be concerned with because many hundreds of thousands of kids and adults are infected with louse each year. The good news is that there are easy ways to rid yourself of a head bug infestation.
These insects are probably one of the safer parasites that can infest a person. Yes, they're a annoying pests that make your head itch and can irritate your scalp. That's about all the trouble they cause for us however. Unlike mosquitoes, they are not considered a health hazard. Of course, the ease with which they can be transferred from person to person is a problem.
The number of ways all the products and remedies offer to help get rid of the problem can be huge. In the end however, they all work basically to kill off the parasites in 1 of only 4 major ways. These include insecticide based products, mechanical methods, essential oil products and home grown remedies.
While mechanical methods do work, they all do their job the same basic way. Removal of the nits and parasites using the mechanical method of a nit comb.
Here are the Four basic Categories of Child Head Louse Treatment
1. Bug Poison Shampoo. Products like Nix and Rid are available at the drugstore and use an insecticide as a primary method to kill off the louse. These do work somewhat well if you don't mind using poison on your families head. Another potential problem is that louse have usually caused open sores on the head which are an open pathway for the insect poison to enter the body.
2. Haircutting. Remove the source of a safe environment and it's much easier to find an kill the offending pests. The next step would be to use a mechanical method such as thoroughly combing with a nit comb to be certain that all adult insects and eggs are gone.
3. Essential oil based shampoos. These use natural antiseptic and other ingredients that are toxic to the pests. These products also have special natural additives that provide relief for the itching and need to scratch.
4. Try on of the home cures from the Web. There are many well meaning people who have posted their own personal child head louse treatment solution with most involving various food products. The mess and the problems to use these pediculosis remedies as directed aren't worth saving a few dollars. Pediculosis is the dollar word for a head louse infestation.
What you may save in money, you will end up wasting in time and effort to deal with these messy solutions.
Overall, these are the worst of the head lice killing ideas. I understand that some people have claimed that these methods work but considering the mess and the fact that they don't work for everyone is enough consider them low in effectiveness.
If your infestation is mild, it's possible that simply using a nit comb will be enough to act as your child head louse treatment that will end the pest problem. Miss even one egg however and be prepared to again fight the problem. I personally like the idea of using a nit comb regardless of the kind of shampoo you decide to use. It's cheap insurance that everything has been removed from your child's hair and the infestation has been stopped. As for shampoo type, you can't go wrong using the safer essential oil based shampoo products.
