| Tips
on Application:
Massage BANLICE® into the hair & scalp until it
is completely & thoroughly wet with the
product. Pay particular attention to areas where nits
are more likely to be eg. behind the ears, nape of
the neck, beneath the fringe. For long hair, divide
into segments & apply from the scalp to the ends
until saturated.

Tips
on Nit Removal:
Removing nits is perhaps the hardest part of treating
for head lice. No head lice product will remove nits -
they will NOT wash out after treatment as they are stuck
onto the hair shaft with a very strong glue. Whilst
BANLICE® Mousse kills nits, physically removing them
from the head is your best indication that your child
is free of head lice. Combing through with a fine tooth
comb can help remove nits but be careful - plastic combs
may be ineffective & metal combs can cut & strip
the hair. Using a comb to part the hair then removing
nits with your fingers is a recommended approach. Whilst
not scientifically proven, you may also like to try
vinegar - straight or diluted 50% with water if there
are bite marks on the scalp - dabbed onto the nits with
a cotton wool ball & left for a minute or so. Vinegar
will not kill lice or nits, but it may help dissolve
the glue & make them easier to remove. |

Tips
to Help Prevent Reinfestation:
-
Inspect ALL family members - including Mum &
Dad - & treat if necessary
- Wash
all brushes/combs/hairclips, linen & clothing
worn in the last 48 hours, in hot water.
- Suspect
items that cannot be washed (eg. hats, teddy bears,
bike helmets) can be isolated in a sealed plastic
bag for 8 - 10 days. If there are any lice on these
items, they will complete their life cycle in the
bag
- Keeping
long hair securely tied back (plait/bun) will assist
in minimising reinfestation whilst head lice are
about
- Notify
your friends & the school that you have found
a case of head lice. This will help control the extent
of the outbreak. The "Schools
Action Plan" section of this internet site
contains information which your child's school can
use to help control a head lice outbreak. You can
assist by reminding your school of this internet
site when you ring them to advise of an outbreak
