LouseBuster™ Device
The LouseBuster™ device provides a revolutionary new way to kill head lice and their eggs without using pesticides or other chemicals. Clinical studies have shown that the device, which uses only controlled heated air, provides a very safe, fast and highly effective way to kill all stages of head lice – including lice eggs!
The LouseBuster™ device is a medical device that has been reviewed and cleared by the FDA and has been CE-marked.

How and Why it Works
A specific combination of temperature, airflow, time and technique kills the lice and their eggs.
The LouseBuster™ device delivers carefully controlled heated air directly to dry, untangled hair that is free of hair treatment products, at a temperature cooler than most hair-dryers and at a much higher flow rate. A unique, single-use applicator tip specially designed to penetrate beyond the insulating layer of hair is used to lift the hair slightly while directing airflow right onto lice and eggs which tend to be located near the scalp and hair roots. A specific, timed treatment pattern is followed to ensure all areas of the head are treated. No pesticides or other chemicals are used in the therapy; just heated air.
The LouseBuster™ device is highly effective because the small size and shape of head lice and their eggs make it difficult for them to conserve water. As such, when they are exposed to the right amount of heated air at the right temperature and for the right length of time, they dry out and die.
Product Description
The LouseBuster™ device is a durable, portable medical device.
It measures about 14 in wide x 19 in long x 12 in tall (35 cm x 48 cm x 30
cm) and weighs less than 17 pounds (7.7 kg). It has wheels for good
maneuverability and is designed to rest on the floor during use. A 6-1/2 ft (2m) removable hose delivers
heated air from the LouseBuster™ device to a single-use, disposable applicator
tip.
The device runs on electricity from any standard power outlet (120V/15A;
240V/10A).
A precise temperature controller and dual sensors ensure that the
temperature and flow rate of air delivered by the LouseBuster™ device are
monitored and precisely controlled.
LouseBuster Certified Operators™
The LouseBuster™ device is relatively easy to use, but there is some learned technique involved to ensure that the treatment is delivered as safely and as effectively as possible.
This is why Larada Sciences requires that every operator of the LouseBuster™ device receives specialized training and passes a competency exam before they can be certified to deliver treatments as a LouseBuster Certified Operator™.
Results of clinical studies have shown that, after successfully completing a 2-hour training program, novice users obtain results similar to those achieved by experienced users of the device.
Availability
The LouseBuster™ device is available primarily to professionals for use in schools, camps, clinics, and other places where lice are commonly diagnosed or treated. It is not intended for private use.
