Quotes from satisfied users:

“It’s so much less invasive for kids,” said Bev Bohn, social work supervisor in the family-based unit of Cass County Social Services, which finds foster homes for at-risk children.“The kids are already going through some pretty tough times, so it’s less traumatic for them,” Bohn said of the LouseBuster™.

“I am thrilled,” says Holly Ehrke about the School Based Health Center Staff who have been through training and are now certified operators for the LouseBuster ™ device. “Now, when a student is found with lice, we can do the half hour treatment, and know the eggs have been taken care of. … It’s nice to know lice can’t form immunity to the heat treatment, like they can with chemicals and pesticides in other medications.” Holly Ehrke, Program Manager at Thunder Bay Community Health Services School Based Health Center.

Marcy McQuillian is appreciative of the elementary schools in Monterey and San Jose Counties who were pro-active, and requested her to come and do head lice checks. After discovering numerous students that were infested, she was able to treat each child, without chemicals, in a half-hour, enabling the students to go directly back to class. “The parents and teachers were so grateful,” McQuillian said. “It stopped additional infestations from happening, and I was able to take the anxiety out of having head lice.”

Purchase a LouseBuster™ device and kill head lice and their eggs as soon as lice are detected.

By purchasing a LouseBuster™ device and using it in your school, you can minimize absenteeism, revenue loss, and the spread of head lice by treating head lice cases quickly. Once infestations are discovered, you can treat infested students immediately, allowing them to return back to class without interruption depending on school policy. The 30-minute treatment is completely dry and non-chemical. In most areas, the procedure can be done by a nurse or any qualified employee or volunteer after completing a short, required training and certification program. Schools can have parental consent forms signed at the beginning of the year, or written parental permission can be obtained as needed.
