2016 Update:  After successfully selling my homemade herbal lice repellant spray for years, I decided to turn my attention to other aspects of life, and stopped producing and selling the product.  However, this site is still an excellent resource for no-nonsense advice on the topic of safe, effective head lice removal, so I leave it here to help those who find it.

 I have used amazon affiliate links to direct you to the products that I recommend and believe will help you get rid of head lice without exposing your children to harmful chemicals.  You've got this!


My name is Erica, but you can call me SuperMom. :) I have 6 children, ranging in age from 13-24. In January 2004 we experienced head lice for the very first (and only!) time. When I made the discovery, I started crying and shaking and feeling very very itchy, and then I got busy shaving my little boy's heads. Three long weeks later we had won the war, and I had learned a whole lot about head lice, where we had gone wrong in the first place, and how to effectively deal with it. Since that time I've made understanding head lice and knowing how to avoid them something of a crusade of mine. Once was enough for me! How about you?

As I look back on it, I'm surprised (and concerned) that there isn't more education about how to avoid getting head lice in the first place. It seems as though people just accept that head lice infestations will come along in life, and there is nothing you can do about it. Others (like I was) just hoped it would never happen!

The truth is that although head lice does seem quite common, there are many things you can do to lessen the chances of you or your children getting head lice. I've developed this web site in order to educate you. Feel free to read the entire site, or just jump to the parts that most interest you:
