About This Pest
Why They're Here
Lice spread through close personal contact — often between children at school or during activities. They're extremely common and have nothing to do with hygiene or cleanliness.
What to Watch For
Persistent itching on the scalp, small white or yellowish nits (eggs) attached to hair shafts close to the scalp, and occasionally visible lice.

Our Natural Approach
Targeted Treatment
We use targeted, least-toxic treatments — botanical and mineral-based as the primary approach — to address the source of the problem, not just the symptoms. Our approach focuses on long-term results, not quick fixes.
Family-Conscious Formulas
Our primary toolkit is botanical and mineral-based, formulated to minimize risk to your family and pets. Products are either EPA 25(b) exempt (essential-oil based) or EPA-registered minimum-risk pesticides (silica gel, borate).
How You Can Help
  • Teach children to avoid sharing hats, brushes, and hair accessories.
  • Check your child's hair regularly, especially after school notices.
  • Wash bedding and recently worn clothing in hot water.
  • Vacuum upholstered furniture and car seats.
Family & Pet Considerations
Our treatments use botanical and mineral-based products to minimize risk to your family — children and pets included. Products are either EPA 25(b) exempt or EPA-registered minimum-risk. If we ever recommend an EPA-registered escalation product, we'll show you the label and explain it before applying.
