Steps to Success

with 1-2-3 Lice Control System

Complete lice control for your family and home

Step 1: Treat

Lice Killing Shampoo

See Usage Guidelines to estimate how much product you will need.

Inspect

• Check each household member with a magnifying glass in bright light for lice/nits (eggs).
• Look for tiny nits near scalp, beginning at back of neck and behind ears.
• Examine small sections of hair at a time.
• Unlike dandruff which moves when touched, nits stick to the hair.
• If either lice or nits are found, treat with this product.

NOTE:

• • Use towels to protect child's eyes from treatment and prevent clothes from getting wet.
• • Apply Lice Killing Shampoo thoroughly to DRYHAIR or other affected area.
• • Wetting the hair dilutes the treatment making it less effective.
• • Also, lice can hold their breath when immersed in water making it difficult for the active ingredient to penetrate the lice.

• For head lice, thoroughly massage shampoo into scalp, behind the ears and to the back of the neck. Lice can crawl up and down the shaft of the hair very quickly so it is important to apply the treatment from the roots to the ends of the hair.

• Allow product to remain on the hair (or other affected area) for 10 minutes, but no longer.

• Add warm water and massage to form a lather.

• Shampoo, then rinse thoroughly.

For head lice, towel dry hair and comb out tangles.

• Proceed to Step 2.

• A second treatment must be done in 7 to 10 days to kill any newly hatched lice.

Step 2: Remove

Lice & Egg Comb-Out Gel

This product should be used AFTER Lice Killing Shampoo (Step 1). Combing out eggs & nits* is an essential step to complete lice control.

See Usage Guidelines to estimate how much product you will need.

NOTE:

• • A fine-toothed comb or the special lice/nit removing comb (included) must be used to remove lice, eggs, and nits from hair.
• • Before starting have on hand:
• -Extra towels
• -Bobby pins or hair clips
• -Facial tissues or paper towels
• -Regular comb for parting and detangling hair
• -Throw-away gloves
• Find a distraction for your child (e.g. books, TV, game).
• Comb out damp hair with a regular wide-tooth comb to take out snarls and tangles.

• Apply Lice & Egg Comb-Out Gel to one section of hair. (Do not apply to entire head at once, since gel dries quickly.)

• Massage thoroughly until all strands of hair in this section are covered with the gel.

• When combing, use the fine-toothed lice/nit comb provided and make sure the teeth are facing you.

• Part hair into sections. Do one section at a time starting on top of head. Longer hair may take 1 to 2 hours.

• Lift a small strand of hair (about 1-2" wide) from the section with the gel.

• Begin combing in a "scooping" motion. Place comb as close to scalp as possible and comb with a firm, even motion away from scalp, from the roots to the ends of the hair (newly-laid eggs are found near the roots of the hair so it is important to get the teeth very close to the scalp). Make sure the teeth are deeply embedded into the strands as you comb through.

• Always comb away from the head.

• Wipe eggs and nits from the teeth of the comb often with a tissue or paper towel.

• Remove any remaining nits by hand (using a throw-away glove).

• Pin back the strand you just finished combing with a bobby pin or hair clip.

• Lift up another 1-2 inch wide strand with gel and repeat the combing procedure.

• When one section with gel has been combed and pinned, apply Lice & Egg Comb-Out Gel to another section of hair. Continue to comb hair 1-2 inches at a time until entire head has been combed and pinned.

• Keep the hair damp during combing. If hair dries during combing, dampen slightly with water, and re-apply Lice & Egg Comb-Out Gel as needed.

• After you have combed and pinned the entire head, remove all bobby pins or hair clips and thoroughly recheck for lice/nits. Repeat combing if necessary. Rinse hair thoroughly with warm water. If desired, you may also wash with regular shampoo.

• Discard all the used tissues or cloths into a sealed plastic bag and dispose of immediately to prevent lice from coming back.

* Nits are empty eggshells left behind when lice hatch from eggs.

Step 3: Control

Home Lice, Bedbug & Dust Mite Spray

• • Use Home Lice, Bedbug & Dust Mite Spray to kill lice and their eggs on mattresses, furniture, car interiors and other non-washable items. A regular disinfectant spray will not kill lice and their eggs.
• • After spraying the infested area, vacuum rugs and carpets. Dispose of the vacuum cleaner bags after use.
• • Wash all clothes, towels, washable hats, scarves, coats and bed linens in hot water. Dry in high heat for at least 20 minutes.
• • Dry clean non-washables.
• • Personal combs and brushes may be disinfected by soaking in hot water (above 54°C (130°F)) for at least 10 minutes.
• • Place stuffed toys in plastic bags and seal them for 4 weeks.

Checklist

Daily Checking

TO PREVENT REINFESTATION:

• Carefully inspect infested family member daily for at least 2 weeks. If you see eggs or nits, repeat Step 2.

• Check other family members for Head Lice. If anyone in the family is infested, follow Step 1 and Step 2. Repeat Step 3 with any articles or items with which they have come into contact.

Second Application

Repeat the same procedures within 7-10 days for

Step 1: Treat and Step 2: Remove

There may be some eggs that were not combed out after the first treatment. These eggs will hatch and need to be killed with the second treatment.

If infestation continues, see a doctor for other treatments.

Did You Know?

• • Nits are most easily found on back of neck or behind ears.
• • Disinfect hats, hair ribbons, scarves, coats, towels, and bed linens by machine washing in hot water (above 54°C (130°F)), then using hottest dryer cycle for at least 20 minutes.
• • Items that cannot be washed (bedspreads, blankets, pillows, stuffed toys, etc.) should be dry-cleaned or sealed in a plastic bag for 4 weeks, then removed outdoors and shaken out very hard before using again.
• • Items that cannot be washed, dry-cleaned, or stored may be sprayed with a product designed for this purpose.
• • Soak all combs and brushes in hot water (above 54°C (130°F)) for at least 10 minutes.
• • Vacuum all carpets, mattresses, upholstered furniture, and car seats that may have been used by affected people.

Pubic (Crab) Lice

• • May be transmitted by sexual contact. Sexual partners should be treated simultaneously to avoid reinfestation.
• • Lice are very small and look like brown or grey dots on skin.
• • Usually cause intense itching and lay small white eggs (nits) on the hair shaft generally close to the skin surface.
• • May be present on the short hairs of groin, thighs, trunk, and underarms, and occasionally on the beard and mustache.
• • Disinfect underwear by machine washing in hot water (above 54°C (130°F)), then using hottest dryer cycle for at least 20 minutes.

Body Lice

SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING

Remove protective cap. Hold container upright with nozzle away from you. Depress valve and spray from a distance of 8-10 inches (12 to 15 inches for baseboards, moldings and floors). Test product on an inconspicuous area before applying to check for possible staining or discoloration. Inspect again after drying. Spray to the point of dampness but not run-off. Over application may cause damage. Will not stain surfaces or fabrics where water alone causes no damage.

To kill Lice and Louse eggs: Clean home. Use this product for non-washable items. Washables should be washed in hot water and dried in high heat. Spray in an inconspicuous area to test for possible staining or discoloration. Inspect again after drying, then proceed to spray entire area to be treated. Hold container upright with nozzle away from you. Depress valve and spray from a distance of 8 to 10 inches. Spray each square foot for three seconds. Spray to the point of dampness but not run-off. Allow all sprayed articles to dry thoroughly before use. If lice infestation occurs on humans, use a product labeled for use on humans. Spray only those articles and parts of bedding including mattresses and furniture that cannot be either laundered or dry-cleaned. Do not use on sheets or pillowcases.

Bedbugs: Spray mattresses, particularly around tufts and seams. Take beds apart and spray into all joints. Treat baseboards, moldings and floors. Spray to the point of dampness but not run-off. After mattress is dry, cover with mattress cover and sheet. Do not use mattress without cover. Retreat if infestation occurs, but not more than once every two weeks.

To kill House Dust Mites ( Dermatophagoides spp.) a multi-use lice spray controls house dust mites that may cause asthma, hay fever, rhinitis, watery eyes and sneezing. One treatment lasts for up to 8 weeks. On Upholstered Furniture – test fabric in an inconspicuous area to insure dyes will not bleed. Spray all fabric surfaces until damp. Do not use on delicate fabrics. Allow furniture to dry thoroughly before using. On Carpets – Spray over entire carpet until damp. Hold nozzle approximately 12 to 18 inches from the carpet surface and spray in a sweeping motion. Use an overlapping pattern to insure total coverage. After application, brush the surface of the carpet with a broom or brush to insure deep penetration. Allow carpet to dry thoroughly before reentering the treated area. Drying time can be accelerated by using a fan. On Mattresses – Spray the top, bottom and sides of mattresses until damp, paying particular attention to tufts and seams. Allow to dry thoroughly before using. After mattress is dry, cover with mattress cover and sheet. Do not use mattress without cover. Vacuum entire area once dry. Since vacuuming stirs dust up in the air those with allergies should have another person vacuum or should wear a dust mask and use vacuum with a high efficiency particulate (HEPA) filter.
