Community Awareness Visits

Education is the key to understanding. It is with that thought in mind that we focus our goals towards better educating parents, children, schools and the community in head lice issues. By working together we can minimize the number of infestations seen in our community each year, help reduce the negative stigma and help eliminate the numerous myths associated with treating head lice.

Our staff is available for community events, public speaking, training sessions and classroom visits. There is no charge for this community outreach, within our local service area. Likewise, as a nonprofit organization, we are unable to pay for booth space or such at community events.

All training sessions are intended to be informative, educational and taught at a level of understanding that will meet the needs of that particular audience. Handout material is available upon request. We ask that you notify the office at least two weeks in advance to schedule a visit. A four to six week notice is required for events that would involve our supplying displays, booths or carnival activities.

School Screenings

Our teams of trained technicians are available to come to your school for a thorough head check screening. To reach ultimate achievement it is suggested that this should include the entire student body; however it can involve as few as one hundred children. Screenings are available, in our local service area, for a cost of $1.00 per head. Please understand that this cost is necessary due to the time involved, extra staffing required and travel needed to accommodate your request. A small price to pay for peace of mind!

No help in your area? Our teams are available for special assignments in outside areas- please call for pricing.

PTA Meetings

Is your PTA filled with concerned parents who seriously want to make their school a better place? Are they actively involved and willing to take a stand on issues they believe in? If so, we have speakers available for upcoming PTA meetings, to assist in lice related school events or simply to provide handouts, all in an attempt to keep your parents better informed. We work closely with these groups to help promote such events as Head Check Awareness Week, Head Lice Prevention Month, Halloween Tips and Lice Patrol. All events are geared to help keep our kids safe from lice.

We also have fundraising programs available to challenge individual schools to make lice safety an issue in their school. Handouts and prizes are available for schools looking to take on this challenge. All funds collect help in ongoing efforts to keep kids safe from lice and ensure the continued availability of free and reduced treatments for needy families.

Head Check

Not sure if you have head lice, but want someone to check? We offer individual and family checks to confirm possible infestations. We strongly encourage this before you waist time and money treating the entire family. Individual checks run $15.00 each or check the family for $50.00.

Please note : should your family be found to have a problem and they wish to be treated at our facility- only the cost of treatment will apply. Head checks are billed only when a check alone is provided.

Throughout the year we offer additional opportunities for children to be checked free of charge. We strongly encourage all families to take advantage of these opportunities and have your child's head checked. Keep in mind- the sooner you identify head lice the easier it is to contain it. We like to remind our families of that old saying “A stitch in time saves nine”, the same theory applies with head lice!

Complete Nit Removal

Our trained technicians are available to assist you in the removal of lice and their nits. We use a safe, nontoxic, yet effective product when working with your family. During your treatment we check all family members, to rule out any additional cases that might exist, in an attempt to help prevent possible re-infestation. Our technicians are skilled in finding even the smallest nymph. We work with paper thin strands of hair- combing and nit picking, inch by inch. Because we do this all day - every day, we do it right the first time and in considerably less time than a parent would at home. Additionally, since we work in a kid friendly environment, children tend to be more cooperative for the technicians, as they relax and watch their favorite movies. Many parents only complaint is that the kids can't wait to come back again!

During the visit we work closely with the family to help educate them in head lice issues and to offer a variety of preventative steps in an attempt to safeguard the child from reoccurring cases. We want to help keep your family safe from lice today and in the future.

The cost of this service is only $70.00 per hour and $20.00 per quarter hour. While the average treatment takes two hours, it is dependent on several factors; how much hair we are working with, how sever the infestation is and how cooperative the child is. At an average of $150.00 a treatment, it's a small price to pay for the peace of mind that your family has been treated safely and effectively the very first time.

Clients are required to return to the office in one week for a recheck- this is an important part of the treatment process. The cost of recheck is $10.00- regardless of time spent or product used, with the first recheck being billed at the initial visit. Should subsequent rechecks be necessary, the charge remains at $10.00 regardless of number of visits as long as you are involved in an ongoing treatment program. This is extremely important for those individuals that knowingly expose their children to a lice infested environment- ex. school with a sever lice infestation, other family or friends also battling the problem, etc. (We had one such neighborhood where an entire 3 bock radius was battling it at the same time.) Please note that all fees are due at time of service. We accept, check, cash or credit card. Due to the large number of delinquent accounts, we are no longer able to accept payment arrangements. We regret any inconvenience this may cause for your family.

Please note- our office hours are Monday thru Friday from 9 to 5. While we close at 5PM we do not stop until completed with the last treatment, in some cases that could mean an entire family and late hours for our staff. Because we block a 2 hour timeframe we do not book treatments after 3:30PM . For those individuals requiring weekend visits, there is $150.00 for the first hour service charge for opening the facility after hours and $100.00 for each consecutive hour.  Please understand that this additional cost is necessary to help offset the cost of electricity and overtime for the technicians.

While we can't follow you home we can guarantee that we will stay with your family as long as necessary, to help them through this current infestation. Once treated, your child will be returned to class, nit free, with a certificate stating completion of treatment and date of follow-up visit.

Web & Phone Support

Web & phone support is offered for those living both in and outside the range of a treatment facility. Sometimes a simple question needs to be answered. Sometimes it's just the peace of mind we gain, when we hear a friendly voice on the other end of the phone. Whatever your reason, we encourage you to take advantage of the services provided. Feel free to ask any questions you might have concerning head lice. Emails are answered promptly, bulletin board is available for those looking to ask a generic question or wanting to post an opinion, and we are always willing to take the time to talk with you on the phone. Keep in mind that the phones can get hectic- if you should reach our voice- PLEASE leave a message- we will return your call- even after hours! There is no need to feel alone when there is help available. Stop wasting valuable time doing all the wrong things and let us help you concentrate on doing the right things!

While there is no charge for these services, we strongly encourage you to consider giving a donation to help further this cause. Donations can be made by credit card thru the donation link on our web site or checks can be mailed to the address at the bottom of this page. Keep in mind while we don't pass the cost for these services on to you, they do nonetheless cost us. Therefore if this site has been helpful and informative – please help ensure that it continues to be available for others as well. Remember all donations are tax deductible and are much needed and appreciated- no matter what the size !

Partnership With Schools and State Organizations

As a nonprofit organization we strive to develop programs that assist families in need. The primary purpose of Lice Solutions is to keep children in school. Therefore, we have programs available whereby we work with the school nurses (or appropriate administration) on a referral basis to help needy families; in the treatment of their school children. This request must be made by the school through written referral and with proof of financial need. It also requires the receiving family to give back in the way of volunteer time, in an ongoing effort to ensure that similar help is available for others. If you are a school in our service area and have such a need- contact our office. We will be happy to fax additional information regarding these programs.

Concerned Citizens Against Head Lice

We would like to think that we are all concerned citizens against head lice. Regrettably, it's just not a subject that people like to talk about. When we're the family fighting head lice it's easy to see that there needs to be more help. Unfortunately, once we're past the problem we are all too eager to get back to normal, leaving behind any good intentions we might have had of trying to help others.

Here at Lice Solutions we refuse to sweep it under the rug. While not a pretty subject – we do see the need. More importantly we have vowed to make a difference.

Concerned Citizens against Head lice agrees with that philosophy and they too have taken a stand. The group consist of concerned parents, businesses, healthcare professionals, childcare providers and other concerned individuals- working together to stop the spread of head lice. The goal of this organization is to educate the public, and erase false stigmas associated with those found to have head lice. Ultimately their goal is to live in a lice free community.

In an attempt to accomplish this they meet once a month were they are able to share ideas, offer support and ultimately work together towards fighting head lice. In doing so they are aggressively working to make more educational material available to the public. They have ongoing campaigns through Lice Solutions treatment facilities in an attempt to provide early detection. They organize and participate in fundraising activities that benefit the organization, as well as needy families in the community. They even have long term goals of helping establish additional locations, as well as producing books and videos that are both educational and fun to watch.

While there is no membership fee associated with this group, they do request that their individual members make a minimum of a $25.00 donation per year to this non profit organization and that their business members make a minimum of $100.00 donation. This can be paid in one payment or over the course of the year. They also ask each member to volunteer at least 20 hours annually. A nonprofit's status is based on many factors, among them is the ability to get the community involved through volunteer work and that at least 10% of revenues come from public support .

For those interested, meetings are held at Lice Solutions headquarters the first Thursday of each moth, from 6Pm till 8PM . While it's not necessary to make every meeting it is strongly encouraged that you attempt to come as often as possible. Since a light dinner is provided, it is requested that you notify the staff of your intentions to participate. Additionally, since space is sometimes limited and time is of the essence, we ask that you do not bring children to the meetings. Should you live outside the range of a treatment facility- you can still participate both through your kind donations and volunteer time within your own community. Give the staff a call if you have additional questions regarding this matter.

We can not effectively hope to make a difference if we are not all willing to work together. We encourage others to take a stand as well- Get involved and help us as we strive to make a difference!

Distance Assistance

We realize that not all cases of head lice exist in South Florida , nor do they favor areas where help is readily available. While our hopes are to provide help to all that need it, we realize that unfortunately it's not always possible. If you are an individual or family with a lice problem and can't find help close by, give us a call. If we know of a service in your area- we will make that information available through our Go Local page.

If your family still needs help, and you are capable, a trip to South Florida might be the next best thing. If necessary our technicians are available to travel to other areas, however, additional cost is involved, and therefore we suggest that if opting for this service you make it a combined community or family effort.

If head lice are an overwhelming problem in your community and help can not be found, our technicians are available to come to your area for screenings and nit removal. We are prepared to stay on location as long as the lice problem deems necessary. Please have your school or appropriate representative contact our offices to work out necessary cost and details.

Business Consulting

Many individuals are looking to offer a nit removal service in their area. If you think you have what it takes and want to expand your abilities in this area, we provide a training session whereby you would come to our facility and spend an intense week of training. During this time we you will learn the fine technique of nit removal, you'll be educated in head lice issues, and will leave with the necessary tools to help assist families in your area. Cost of this service is $1500.00 and does not include any travel or overhead expense incurred by you .
