Can these be used to control spreading when treating children for lice or hair mites while waiting for the treatments to work?

I don't know about controlling the spread, but at least it is a barrier and can't hurt!

if you are looking for a temporally coverage , yes is it will work, but remember mostly the treatment will work almost immediately.

It kills mites on contact and they are very hard to kill, over the counter products for lice are not as strong as what is needed for mites, so I would say "Yes"-it cleared the mites out!

The Lice Guru came to my home, sprayed my daughters buttocks length hair, thick as wool, with water she mixed with conditioner. She was able to comb right through my daughters hair from bottom to top and pulled out a minimal amount of hair. Mostly when her hair would begin to dry.

I would think so. It definitely works for my son and he hardly feels the (sub cutaneous) shots that I have to give him now. It's worth trying.

Here is a quote from the bottle's PDF: "CONTROLS scale insects, mealybugs, apple aphids, European red spider mites,leafminers, leaf rollers (redbanded, obliquebanded, fruittree), light brown applemoth, powdery mildew, rust and other insects and diseases listed on this label. "I think this would do the trick.

This is a preventative shampoo, for lice you will have to use chemicals from pharmacy. As I mentioned in one of my reviews, I use this shampoo all the time and my kids are the only ones that do not get the lice in their hair.

Yes, controls. It will not kill dust mites, but it destroys what they eat, so they gradually die off in an area. The molecules from the unit will not get inside things like a pillow or mattress (it does not penetrate very far) but as the surfaces get cleaned off, things inside tend to soak up to the surface, where they are then cleansed. So, kills - no, controls over time - yes.

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.

I have found a tick (not embedded yet) on my son while he was using this shampoo on a daily basis. I don't think ticks are repelled by the same scents as lice, as a previous responder also said.

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

It's still too soon and hard to say. It does control flaking, scaling and itching very well though. I have tried many normal off-the-shelf shampoos, and this one is by far doing a much better job. Since I don't need to scratch my head as often as before, I am hoping it will help minimize hair loss as a result.

My daughter still got lice. I still use it. My daughter is super susceptible. I use coconut oil and tea tree oil with lavender oil as well.

Yes! I used them on a younger child. Just monitor the cord. It can be a kind of long for little ones.

While I don't know for sure my guess would be yes, it would control them. I moved to FL 5 months ago and had ants and sugar ants in the kitchen...horrible...I used this product and they are GONE. This is great stuff and worth trying.

No, I would not use this to kill lice. Please see below. If you are interested in ordering product please visit:http://www.youngliving.com my member ID # is 1936968. Make up the head lice blend using the proportions listed below. Head Lice Blend: 4 drops Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) 4 drops thyme 2 drop lavender 2 drop geranium Dilute 50-50 with coconut oil mixed with another fatty oil such as almond, olive or sunflower oil. Apply 1 teaspoon of mixture to scalp. Massage over entire head and into hair, cover with disposable shower cap or small plastic bag and leave for at least 1/2 hour. Then shampoo and rise well. Wash hair bending over a sink. Do not wash hair in the shower as lice may cling to other body hairs. Follow by using the rinse below. Head Lice Rinse: 2 drops rosemary 2 drops clove 2 drops peppermint 1/2 oz. vinegar 8 oz. water Mix into a container with a watertight lid. Shake vigorously, then pour over hair making sure every strand is rinsed. Rinse and dry naturally. Repeat daily until lice and eggs are gone, usually from 10-14 days.
