Will this help to remove lice from bedding??

Yes, it will help because the UV Rays will kill most of the lice and any microscopic organisms and most importantly will kill any eggs they may have laid on the mattress or the sheets. However, from personal experience, I also recommend getting bug and allergy resistant sealable mattress covers and pillow covers to use along with this vacuum cleaner for stronger long term protection from any tiny critters in the future.

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 if you want to spend your time running the sanitizer over every inch of cloth. Lice and eggs are killed when washed in very hot ( more than 140 degrees) water, and thrown in a very hot dryer. And repeated several times a week. If your fabric is not that sturdy, dry clean it, the solvent will get 'em, but it's pricey. If you're traveling and are concerned, this would be the ideal machine to use ( there are tiny wand size sanitizer available on Amazon, too) if you're traveling by car. I use mine in my home, on mattress pads and on and under my sofa cushions .

Not sure cause I didn't have that problem. The problem is the unit is quite heavy and needs pressure to work. It was hurting my wrists and it does not work until you put a certain pressure on the machine. Because of the irregularity in movement cause you have to constantly adjust, I personally do not think it will work with lice. You might be better off to try a handheld uv wand. Good luck.

I don't know if it would do that, I think that your best bet would be to use a lice killing product for bedding, not sure if the ultraviolet light would be enough. I can tell you that I love this vac. Every time I change my linens I vac the bedpad and mattress, and I can't believe the stuff that the filter captures, and I clean the filter after each use.

I don't see why it wouldn't work for body lice, but these bars are much too large to fit in a louse's little hand. I would give them liquid soap to wash with.

It will kill bed bugs as it says on the internet. I have the web-site where you can read what to do: http://www.earthworkshealth.com/get-rid-of-bed-bugs.php. That will help you more than I can because I have never had bed bugs.

Sorry - I don't know. I only use this on the beds for my cats. It does say that it kills many bugs. All I can suggest is to try it and see. You can also check the University of California's info as a starting point to get rid of them. http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn74136.htmlGood luck!

No it cannot. In fact, it is very sensitive to any moisture. I must say that it's wonderful for removing lice, but any tiny ones that are difficult to see can be missed possibly. Also, eggs are not picked up by this comb, which makes it a nearly impossible task to completely remove every one of them. I struggled with this for four months, and finally ended up doing the chemical treatment, though I did not want to do that again to my daughter.

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.

I dont know I bought it for to use on bed bugs but wasnt sent what I paid for It didnt get rid of flees on my cats I would ask vet before buying this .Hope this helped.

Yes it will. Just spread it around where you know they are. It can kill bedbugs, ticks, ants, carpenter ants, termites, fleas. For bedbugs just put it around the bed posts at the floor. They cannot fly so they will have to walk in it. Do not breath it is the only warning. Chemical companies do not like it so they made the FDA and USDA keep this secret hush hush.

I haven't used it on bedding or anything like that. I think this is formulated to use directly on pets, and there are other products that would probably be better suited to use in the environment. Just as I wouldn't use an upholstery spray on my pets, I wouldn't use pet spray on upholstery. I've used products like Zodiac Carpet & Upholstery flea spray with good results. I think the products designed for fabric might be stronger, primarily because they're not applied to skin. For that reason, I think they'd be more effective. This Merial Frontline spray is a little expensive, as I recall. I really think you'd get better results for less money with a product that's geared toward your specific needs (upholstery). Good luck!

Yes! This is truly amazing for removing any kind of pet hair, lint and even loose soil. I use it on my clothing as well as furniture. And the large size makes it a quick job. You need to buy the one that has the handle first though, so you have something to hold on to. Then, the refill.

A month or more if you use it every day. It seemed to work. It was my granddaughter who is in daycare. Now that a long time has passed without the appearance of lice in her class my daughter in law stopped using it. She is still on the original bottle so maybe even a couple months.

You can use it on yourself, but it's not as effective as combing with some other combs. This one doesn't pick up the tiny, pepper sized newly hatched lice. I found one on my daughter's hair and combed over it repeatedly with this and it registered nothing. Maybe if you do it for 10 days straight, you stop the lifecycle? It does help me feel less OCD after my husband has combed through my hair and I still itch - I put the comb where I itch and it doesn't register anything and I feel calmer.

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

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!

hi Jenny, i heard that tea tree helps with lice but i don't know if this conditioner repels lice or not because it doesn't say that it does. if i was you, i would buy conditioner that is specifically for lice. Babo Bontanicals Lice Repel products is made specifically for lice. its a little pricey but its made just for lice. i hope i could help.

I wouldn't think a sunscreen was powerful enough to get rid of bedbugs I would suggest an insecticide or professional exterminator.

"Best Yet" chemical free red cedar spray is great. I haven't tried them for bed bugs but they are worth a try and it isn't toxic! Go to cedar-cidestore.com. Also I think a hair dryer might be better than a steamer. Then at least you won't get fabric and upholstery wet. Putting the infected items in a plastic bag and putting them in a car with windows rolled up that is sitting in the hot sun does the trick too.
