Get the prescription strength stuff from the dr. and then pick, pick, pick. Once they are gone keep the girls hair braided or up. Tell them not to share anything hair-related at school. Also make sure you treat your home, their brds, pillows, anywhere they might sit.
Quoting PinkParadox:
Use lice comb every day for 10 days. Vacuum every day. Bag up all stuffed animals for a month. Throw pillows and jackets in dryer every day, for 10 days. Make sure all bedding has been washed in hot water. Throw out all hair ties....treat your brushes and put in freezer every night. Be sure you retreat there head 7-10 days after first treatment.
The freezer tip is genius!
Quoting CBMMOM:Why does it cost money to have their heads checked? When my daughter got head lice,I combed her hair with metal lice comb while it was wet with conditioner it. I dipped the comb in alcohol after each comb through. It worked for us. Good luck.
This exactly, except I have 4 daughters with long hair so I did this every day for 2 weeks along with washing their linens and drying all their pillows and things on high heat. With so much hair around the house I couldn't risk not getting it all. Good luck :o)

You mean every time they get sent home from school the health dept. has to check before they can go back? And they charge $18?? Wow! That stinks!! They don't give you anything to treat it for that $18?
Protein in the lunch box?
