RID Super Max 5-in-1 Hair & Home Complete Lice Treatment Kit

A: The RID Super Max 5-in-1 Kit provides enough lice treatment for one person, but its components, especially the Daily Defense Shampoo, can be used by multiple family members for prevention during an outbreak, while the Home Control Spray treats the environment. The key is the main treatment solution is for one person, but the kit's design is for comprehensive family defense against lice spread.

A: The RID Super Max treatment works by suffocating the lice (including "super lice" resistant to traditional pesticides) and their eggs using pesticide-free ingredients like hydrogenated didecene and sunflower oil. Seeing a live louse the day after treatment requires immediate action, primarily through thorough combing and following the recommended re-treatment schedule. It's not uncommon to see some movement shortly after treatment, as the product may take time to kill all the lice. 1. Do not immediately re-treat with the solution. If the lice are moving slowly, they are likely dying. 2. Comb thoroughly. The most critical step is the meticulous removal of all nits and dead or remaining live lice using the provided comb. Part the hair into sections and comb one section at a time from root to tip. Clean the comb by wiping it on a tissue and discarding it in a sealed plastic bag. 3. Check for 2-3 weeks. Continue to check your daughter's hair every 2-3 days using the comb to ensure all nits and lice are gone. 4. Schedule a second treatment. You must check the hair after 7 to 10 days and repeat the treatment steps (solution, wash, comb) if any lice or eggs are still present. This is designed to kill any new lice that may have hatched after the first treatment before they can lay new eggs. 5. Clean the home environment. Ensure all bedding, hats, and washable items were washed in hot water (above 130°F) and dried on high heat. Use the Home Control Spray on non-washable items that your daughter's head had contact with, such as car seats, pillows, or furniture. If after a second full treatment following the instructions you still find many active lice, consult a healthcare provider as a different approach may be necessary.

A: Thanks for the question! No, the RID Super Max 5-in-1 kit does not use permethrin; it is a pesticide-free product that uses natural, active ingredients like cinnamon oil and spearmint oil to kill lice through suffocation. The product is designed to be more effective than older pesticide-based treatments like permethrin, as many lice have become resistant to them.

A: The advanced shampoo provides lice defense for up to 3 days after application.

A: Yes, the Home Control Spray is safe for use in homes with pets due to its nature-based ingredients.
