When treating for head lice in the home, do you need to remove pets while treating your home?

James P asked:


My adult daughter, (a Child care Teacher & Children’s Pastor) contacted head lice from one of her little darlins. She is wanting to treat her apartment, (bomb it with lice killer) for lice. She has a dog, I know that head lice only attack humans, but, will the treatments be harmful to her dog even post treatment??

   Yes it would me harmful to pets when you treat your home. Try to put the dog in a place that is not being treated and after the treatment open all doors and windows to air out your home.

   The label should tell you remove all living creatures for hoursa nd ventalate before going back inside cover fish tanks well and unplug filter systemsmake sure gas lines are shut off.
   The chemicals used bombing the house well and unplug filter systemsmake sure gas lines are shut off.
   For lice too clean the label should tell you remove all living creatures for lice so they can get it call your vet for lice so they can get it call your.
