I don't honestly know, but there are delousers available at most drug stores ... you can get the combs, shampoos, and soaps there.

Everything you ever wanted to know about headlice but were afraid to ask the Centers for Disease Control Division of Parasitic Diseases.

Yes, I think tea tree oil is fabulous as well. It's great for getting rid of nasty lice. It's also an anti-fungal and antimicrobial. It's good for the skin (antibacterial), but can cause some skin irritation for some people. If you're looking to use it topically (especially on a large area), I would dilute it and test it on a small spot first, just to make sure your skin agrees with it. You can dilute it either with water or oil (5% tea tree oil, 95% water).
