September is National Lice Prevention Month. Back to school is here and that means your kiddos—and therefore your entire family—are susceptible to itchy, icky, yucky LICE! Don’t panic: Every day is Lice Prevention Day at Snip-its. We’ve got kid-friendly, all-natural prevention and elimination products to stop those pesky bugs before they even get started.
LICE FACTS:
From Ladibugs Inc. and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
- Head lice infestation is most common among preschool-aged kiddos attending daycare, elementary school kids and household members of infested children.
- Lice is second only to the common cold as far as things your little ones pick up from school.
- 20 million Americans contract lice EVERY YEAR.
- Head lice are NOT a hygienic issue; in fact, lice like clean hair the best.
- Lice CANNOT hop or fly—they only move by crawling.
- Where to find head lice: Most commonly behind the ears, near the neckline at the back of the head and near the forehead.
- Pets do NOT spread lice.
- Lice don’t swim. However, the chlorine found in pools does not kill them. They can also survive several hours underwater.
- Head lice are most active in the dark and cannot survive long without their human host.
- Head-to-head contact (who’s picturing group selfies here?!) puts someone at the greatest risk of getting lice.

It is safe and pesticide-free, natural and water-based. Step 1 eliminates head lice. Step 2 eliminates nits and eggs. Step 3 is a specialized comb which easily removes lice and nit debris from the hair. The products are made with Grapeseed Oil—which is always great for skin and hair.

#1 Product – Ladibugs Mint Spray (which is also part of the Prevention Kit) is the line’s number one selling product. It’s made with a specialized, water-based formula to help ward off head lice. This spray is so safe and versatile you just may start using it everywhere: spray it in the hair, on backpacks, scarves, coats, hats, car seats—especially during the school carpool season, movie theater seats, airplane seats or pillows, sleeping bags and bedding. Why wouldn’t you carry this product with you everywhere your little ones go.
