A Typical Licebeater's Service Call
1. The first thing we try to do is set the customer and his or her family at ease. Lice are not harmful and there is no need to panic. We can reassure you because we have successfully dealt with hundreds of cases of lice removal. *
2. Before we begin treatment we check the head carefully to see the extent of the lice problem and tosee if treatment is necessary at all. We shine bright lights on the hair and very carefully go through the hair using magnifying glasses. We check the hair in all different directions since lice adhere to only one side of the hair.
3. We then carefully remove all visible nits and live bugs from the hair as quickly and as thoroughly as possible.
4. After all the visible nits are removed; we carefully explain part 2 of our treatment plan to you. This provides step by step instructions about how and when to apply olive oil to your hair.

Our Approach to Treatment
Complete nit removal is considered the key element in eradicating a head lice outbreak. Our goal is to spare the parent or caregiver this time consuming and often overwhelming task.
Licebeaters recommends the two pronged approach to removing lice. First we remove all visible nits and live bugs from the hair. Next, we explain our olive oil treatment plan to you, step by step.
- We don't recommend that you waste your money on products that may not work and,
- We don't recommend taking unnecessary risks using medicine that may jeopardize your children's safety. We are not against prescription medicine (we both married doctors) but believe in using an equally effective, safe, all-natural approach to lice treatment on children and other loved ones!
We offer home treatment in the following areas:
