Bug Out
NoMoreNits Lice Inspection and Removal Service
Things you want Junior to pick up at school: pencils, rulers, formidable tetherball skills.
Things you don’t: lice.
Avoid hairy situations with NoMoreNits, an in-home lice inspection and removal service.
Former Chicago public school teacher Suzy Lowell checks heads for signs of the insects. If she spots any, she gives instructions for ridding them from your home (starting with changing sheets and pillow cases) and will even hire a cleaning service to help. Lowell attacks itchy scalps with her own organic oil-based treatment and does follow-up visits, guaranteeing her work for two weeks after the final visit.
She’s just that picky.

Wow, I call that a service and a half!! Our family got lice a few years ago, and man, that could have come in handy, let me tell you. Its the quickness of how it spreads to family members, and friends, and back again. Getting rid of our lice infestation was not fun, no sirree. Thanks for letting me know about service like this that can actually do all the leg (or hand work) work in this case. I guess they use those lights on their heads to be able to see the bugs best..not sure how that works, but sounds fascinating. We actually used www.licetokill.com to get rid of them, but a service seems very cool. Wonder if there are any near where we live. They don't have them everywhere yet, but I do see they are "popping" up all over the place. Unfortunately there must really be a NEED for this type of thing..its sad, too.... Thanks for sharing the info! Sheila
