Pesticide Resistant Lice

In many parts of the developed world, head lice have recently evolved resistance against pesticides. This makes many of the shampoos currently on the market less effective.

It is highly improbable that lice will be able to evolve resistance to the LouseBuster™ technology because the genetic mutations involved in resistance to pesticides would not protect lice from desiccation. And evolving "resistance" to desiccation is not an option for lice or any other small insect, for that matter. That would be like evolving the ability to go without water.
