My sister battled lice a while ago - it took a while but they swore by the treatment and extra Strength Denorex.

The people down the street used Dippity Do gel - left it on for a while. I think the next time they just dyed the hair.

All I know is my head was itchy for a while because I _imagined_ I could feel it.
