Commonly used chemical products aren’t working as well as they once did, meaning head lice are harder to kill.
Head lice don’t jump or fly, they move from head to head via direct contact.
Head lice are tiny six-legged insects that are only found in the hair on a human’s head – most commonly in the hair of primary school-aged children.
While children are much more likely to have head lice, the reality is that everyone in the household is just as likely to host a head louse or two.
Head lice come home with your children because they spend time in close contact with other children, hugging, playing or crowding around books or screens.
