Before you process the apartment from lice, wash pajamas, bedding, hats, scarves, sweaters, hairbands, sofa covers at 60 ° C. You will have no problems with cotton linen, and disinfect those items that cannot be washed at high temperatures with soap-kerosene emulsion (at the rate of 1: 1): put things in the prepared solution for 20 minutes.

You can also use the freezer in the fight against parasites: put things in bags and place in the freezer for a day.

Important! For disinfection, you can soak the laundry in a 2% soap emulsion or 10% lysol solution. Use a proportion of 1 kg of laundry per 4 liters of liquid.

Method No. 2 Steaming, boiling

It is most advisable to boil the linen for 15 minutes in a 2% sodium carbonate solution - such treatment from lice will be very effective. Hang household items on the balcony and let direct sunlight disinfect things for a whole week.

After the due date, iron all clothes with a hot iron without missing a single fold - this will prevent the possibility of parasites.

It is also necessary to disinfect all hygiene items: immerse all scallops and combs for several minutes in boiling water, as lice can hide between the bristles.

Method No. 3 Application of dust

This way of treating an apartment for lice is also very effective. Count on average 20 g per 2 kg of laundry.

For processing, soak the laundry for 30 minutes in 0.15% malathion emulsion. After spinning, dry things outdoors.

Important! After such treatment, things cannot be ironed from lice, since the drug decomposes when exposed to high temperatures.

You can also process pillows, mattresses, blankets and outerwear with the help of dust, adhering to the following rules:

1. Handle things after lice on both sides.
2. Pay particular attention to the inside of the subject, as well as to the folds and seams.
3. To evenly distribute dust in things, we recommend hitting them several times with a stick.
4. Put everything processed in one heap and leave for 3 hours.
5. If the processed items are not needed for momentary use, then store them, in bags, until necessary, without removing dusts.

Important! Consider the only drawback of this treatment for lice, which is that the tissues may have a characteristic specific smell, which is not entirely pleasant for you and those around you.

Method No. 4 Aerosol treatment

Handle the necessary household items and wardrobe with the help of aerosols, roll them up and put them in rubberized bags or any suitable tight-fitting container, and remove them as necessary. Soft objects: mattresses, blankets, clothes that are directly used by people, process with a hot iron.

Toys that children can use also need to be crafted. Collect all the toys in a plastic bag and tightly cork it. Lice without food will die in 3 days. To be sure, do not use toys after treatment for lice for a week. If possible, wash them with special products after a week.

Important! If at least 1 family member was ill with head lice, then it is necessary to process things of all family members who were in close contact with the patient.
