Steps to Success with 1-2-3 Lice Control System
Complete lice control for your family and home
Step 1: Treat
Lice Killing Shampoo
See Usage Guidelines below to estimate how much product you will need.
Inspect
• check each household member with a magnifying glass in bright light for lice/nits (eggs)
• look for tiny nits near scalp, beginning at back of neck and behind ears
• examine small sections of hair at a time
• unlike dandruff which moves when touched, nits stick to the hair
• if either lice or nits are found, treat with this product
NOTE:
• Use towels to protect child's eyes from treatment and prevent clothes from getting wet.
• Apply Lice Killing Shampoo thoroughly to DRY HAIR or other affected area.
• Wetting the hair dilutes the treatment making it less effective.
• Also, lice can hold their breath when immersed in water making it difficult for the active ingredient to penetrate the lice.
• For head lice, thoroughly massage shampoo into scalp, behind the ears and to the back of the neck. Lice can crawl up and down the shaft of the hair very quickly so it is important to apply the treatment from the roots to the ends of the hair.
• Allow product to remain on the hair (or other affected area) for 10 minutes, but no longer.
• Add warm water and massage to form a lather.
• Rinse thoroughly.
• For head lice, towel dry hair and comb out tangles.
• Proceed to Step 2.
• A second treatment must be done in 7 to 10 days to kill any newly hatched lice.
Step 2: Remove
Egg & Nit Combing Gel
This product should be used AFTER Lice Killing Shampoo (Step 1). Combing out eggs & nits* is an essential step to complete lice control.
See Usage Guidelines below to estimate how much product you will need.
NOTE:
• A fine-toothed comb or a special lice/nit removing comb (included) must be used to remove lice, eggs, and nits from hair.
• Before starting have on hand:
- extra towels
- bobby pins or hair clips
- facial tissues or paper towels
- regular comb for parting and detangling hair
- throw-away gloves
• Find a distraction for your child (e.g. books, TV, game).
• Comb out damp hair with a regular wide-tooth comb to take out snarls and tangles.
• Apply Egg & Nit Combing Gel to one section of hair. (Do not apply to entire head at once, since gel dries quickly.)
• Massage thoroughly until all strands of hair in this section are covered with the gel.
• When combing, use the fine-toothed lice/nit comb provided and make sure the teeth are facing you.
• Part hair into sections. Do one section at a time starting on top of head. Longer hair may take 1 to 2 hours.
• Lift a small strand of hair (about 1-2" thick) from the section with the gel.
• Begin combing in a "scooping" motion: gently push the teeth as close to the scalp as possible and drag comb firmly and evenly from the scalp to the ends of the hair (newly-laid eggs are found near the roots of the hair so it is important to get the teeth very close to the scalp). Make sure the teeth are deeply embedded into the strands as you comb through.
• Always comb away from the head.
• Wipe eggs and nits from the teeth of the comb often with a tissue or paper towel.
• Remove any remaining nits by hand (using a throw-away glove).
• Discard all the used tissues or cloths into a sealed plastic bag and dispose of immediately to prevent lice from coming back.
• Pin back the strand you just finished combing with a bobby pin or hair clip.
• Lift up another 1-2 inch strand with gel and repeat the combing procedure.
• When one section with gel has been combed and pinned, apply Egg & Nit Combing Gel to another section of hair. Continue to comb hair 1-2 inches at a time until entire head has been combed and pinned.
• Keep the hair damp during combing. If hair dries during combing, dampen slightly with water, and re-apply Egg & Nit Combing Gel as needed.
• After you have combed and pinned the entire head, remove all bobby pins or hair clips and thoroughly recheck for lice/nits. Repeat combing if necessary. Rinse hair thoroughly with warm water. If desired, you may also wash with regular shampoo.
* Nits are empty eggshells left behind when lice hatch from eggs.
Step 3: Control
Lice Control Spray
Use Lice Control Spray to kill lice and their eggs on mattresses, furniture, car interiors and other non-washable items.
• Use Lice Control Spray to kill lice and their eggs on mattresses, furniture, car interiors and other non-washable items. A regular disinfectant spray will not kill lice and their eggs.
• After spraying the infested area, vacuum rugs and carpets. Dispose of the vacuum cleaner bags after use.
• Wash all clothes, towels, washable hats, scarves, coats and bed linens in hot water. Dry in high heat for at least 20 minutes.
• Dry clean non-washables.
• Personal combs and brushes may be disinfected by soaking in hot water (above 130°F) for at least 10 minutes.
• Place stuffed toys in plastic bags and seal them for 4 weeks.

Daily Checking
TO PREVENT REINFESTATION:
• Carefully inspect infested family member daily for at least 2 weeks. If you see eggs or nits, repeat Step 2.
• Check other family members for Head Lice. If anyone in the family is infested, follow Step 1 and Step 2. Repeat Step 3 with any articles or items with which they have come into contact.
Second Application
Repeat the same procedures within 7-10 days for
Step 1: Treat and Step 2: Remove
There may be some eggs that were not combed out after the first treatment. These eggs will hatch and need to be killed with the second treatment.
