What is in it that repels lice?

Lice don't like the smell of rosemary and that's the natural ingredient that repels them. As a grandmother and have tried everything out there this was the only thing that worked for kids under 2 yrs of age and it doesn't hurt them and leaves a great smelling scent. If you are considering buying it Do! It is the best for kids starting preschool and the detangler I spay on her before she goes to school and on her back back and whatever else she maybe carrying or wearing! It's worked great for my family and I will be ordering more!

No, this is only used for prevention. I've seen some reviews where people say the lice were coming up to the top of the hair but it doesn't kill them. I've always used NIX - treat first time and repeat in 7 days regardless of whether you still see them or the nits. It's important to nit pick every day that week.

Chloroxylenol 4.8% /listed as an antiseptic. Inactive ingredients, caramel, castor oil soap, isopropyl alcohol (12%), pine oil, and water. This stuff works great as a insect repellent!

According to the information I was able to find on the internet, it does, but I've never had a problem with lice--maybe because I've always used it.

I'm pretty sure insect shield is a repellant made into the fabric. One has it, one doesn't.

I don't know forsure but I'd say yes if you wash all ur clothing in it and bag up air tight any other bedding pillows ect. It does kill scabbies if mixed with lotion. For lice I'd use nix! Then permethrine in and around the house. Make sure to use unscented and only 5% permetrine with 5% lotion 10% permethrine mixed with about 1/3 cup lotion I think is 5% like the doctors stuff

Yes. It can be used to repel a variety of insects (primarily fleas and ticks both). http://www.ehow.com/about_6447560_diatomaceous-earth-used-tick-control.html and http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/diatomaceous_earth_fleas.html

In combination with a nontoxic lice spray by 'lice freee' it worked amazingly!

It's perfectly fine to use as an everyday shampoo to repel lice. It will not work if your child already has lice, though.

Actually doesnt work at all with fleas nor mosquitoes and basically flying objects. For these a recommend another type of repellent or device. It works perfect for roaches,mice,bugs,spiders. Really effective.

My daughter uses it 2-3 times per week, which has been enough for lice prevention for us. But it does smell great and there's no reason you couldn't use it more often.

Lice are not that hard to get rid of. I wouldn't bother buying this. Wash the sheets etc, use a regular vacuum, use the lice shampoo, and everything should be fine. I think buying this for lice would be a waste of money.

Yes! Just comb thru the hair, scalp to end, dragging the comb tip as close to the scalp as possible, several times a day, for a couple of weeks. This, along with washing and drying brushes, linens & clothes, and thoroughly vacuuming, will eliminate lice without harsh chemicals. It stings a little on the scalp, but that's a small price to pay versus harsh lice shampoo and hours spent picking thru hair.

I think the repellant you are looking for is a combination of lemon oil and eucalyptus oil. 10 drops lemon to 20 euc. In a quart spray bottle. Lemon eucalyptus oil is its own plant. There is another combination of rosemary, lavender, orange oil, and vinegar? You can google it. It is in Wiki-how

This doesn't kill lice. You are supposed to treat your head with a chemical from a doctor's office (since over the counter stuff doesn't work well) and then use the comb to get the eggs and bugs out. The bugs will be half dead from the chemical but the eggs if lefts in the hair, will hatch. The eggs need to be removed and put in a sealed container and disposed of. In addition to all this, bedding and stuff needs to be cleaned. This comb is just really good at getting out the eggs.

The cartridges were made for a curling wand. That's what I use them for. I do not know about mosquito repellent apparatus.
