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.
NOTE:
- Shake well before using.
- Use towels to protect child's eyes from treatment and prevent clothes from getting wet.
- Apply Lice Killing Shampoo thoroughly to DRY HAIR 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.
- 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/Nit Comb
Combing must be done AFTER use of Lice Killing Shampoo (Step 1). Combing out eggs & nits* is an essential step to complete lice control.
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
- - detangler/conditioner to make combing easier
- Find a distraction for your child (e.g. books, TV, game).
- Apply detangler/conditioner and comb out damp hair with a regular wide-tooth comb to take out snarls and tangles.
- Hold the Lice/Nit comb with the teeth facing you.
- Working one section at a time, lift a 1- to 2- inch wide strand of hair.
- Place comb as a close to the scalp as possible and comb with a firm, even motion away from scalp, from the roots to the end 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 with a tissue or paper towel.
- Pin back the 1- to 2-inch wide strand you just finished combing with a bobby pin or hair clip.
- Lift up another 1- to 2-inch wide strand and repeat the combing procedure.
- When one section has been combed and pinned, repeat the process for another section of hair. Continue to comb hair 1- to 2-inches at a time until entire head has been combed and pinned.
- Keep the hair damp during combing and re-apply detangler/conditioner as needed.
- After you have combed and pinned the entire head, remove all bobby pins or hair clips and rinse hair thoroughly with warm water. If desired, you may also wash with regular shampoo.
- Discard all the used tissues or paper towels into a bag, seal and dispose 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.

- 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.
