Lice Control Services in Kenya
Lice are among the most frustrating pests to deal with because they directly affect human comfort, health, and dignity. Whether in homes, schools, salons, or workplaces, lice infestations can cause constant itching, discomfort, and embarrassment. These tiny parasites feed on human blood and multiply rapidly, making them difficult to control without professional intervention.
At Rowland Africa, we understand the urgency of lice infestations and the need for discreet, effective, and long-lasting solutions. Our lice control services in Kenya are designed to eliminate lice completely and prevent future outbreaks allowing you to live, learn, and work in a comfortable, pest-free environment.
Understanding Lice and Why They Are a Problem
Lice are small, wingless insects that live on the scalp, hair, or body of humans. They spread easily from person to person through direct contact or by sharing personal items like combs, hats, or bedding. There are three main types of lice:
- Head lice – Found on the scalp and hair. Most common in children but can affect anyone.
- Body lice – Found in clothing and bedding, moving to the skin to feed.
- Pubic lice – Found in coarse body hair such as the pubic region, eyelashes, or beard.
Lice are not a sign of poor hygiene anyone can get them. However, without quick action, an infestation can spread rapidly and cause severe itching, skin irritation, and in some cases, secondary infections due to scratching.
Signs of a Lice Infestation
If you suspect lice in your home, school, or workplace, look out for the following signs:
- Persistent itching, especially on the scalp, behind the ears, or at the back of the neck
- Small red bumps or sores on the skin caused by bites
- Tiny white or yellowish eggs (nits) attached to hair shafts
- Live lice crawling in hair or on the body
- Irritability or difficulty sleeping due to itching at night
Causes and Spread of Lice
Lice infestations happen when live lice or their eggs are transferred from an infested person or object to another person. Common causes include:
- Direct head-to-head contact during play, sports, or close interactions
- Sharing combs, hats, scarves, or hair accessories
- Sleeping in the same bed or using the same pillow as an infested person
- Sharing towels, bedding, or clothing
- Using infested upholstered furniture or seats
Our Lice Inspection Process
Before starting treatment, Rowland Africa conducts a thorough inspection to determine:
- The type of lice present (head, body, or pubic)
- The severity of the infestation
- The spread within the environment (clothing, bedding, furniture)
- Any contributing hygiene or contact factors
Our inspections are done discreetly and professionally to protect your privacy while ensuring we find and treat every affected area.
Lice Treatment Services
We provide both chemical and non-chemical lice control solutions depending on your needs, health considerations, and the setting.
Chemical Lice Treatment
Our licensed pest control team uses approved, safe, and effective insecticidal treatments that target both adult lice and their eggs. The treatment is applied carefully to hair, scalp, clothing, and affected furniture to ensure no lice survive. We use only products that are safe for humans but deadly to lice, with minimal odour and no harmful residue.
Non-Chemical Lice Treatment
For sensitive environments like schools, daycare centres, and homes with infants, we offer non-chemical options including:
- Manual removal of lice and nits using specialised fine-toothed combs
- High-temperature steam cleaning of bedding, clothing, and upholstery
- Hot air treatments to dehydrate and kill lice and their eggs
- Washing and sealing infested fabrics in hot water and airtight bags
Preventing Lice Reinfestation
Lice can return if preventive measures are not taken after treatment. We guide our clients on how to keep their environments lice-free:
- Avoid sharing personal hair or clothing items
- Wash bedding, hats, and clothing in hot water and dry on high heat
- Regularly check children’s hair, especially after school breaks
- Store clothing in sealed bags when travelling or in public places
- Maintain personal hygiene and teach children about avoiding head-to-head contact
