Don’t reach for RID® at the first sign of a head scratch—it’s important to confirm a lice infestation before treating it. An itchy scalp should be cause for initial investigation, especially in children (as they are the most common carriers of lice). But also do frequent checks when you know of a lice outbreak in your child’s school.

If you notice your child scratching his or her head often, especially behind the ears or at the nape of the neck, check for lice. Usually, lice can be found in these areas.
Note: super lice are indistinguishable from regular head lice. So once you’ve confirmed lice are present, it may be best to use RID® SUPER MAX Complete Lice Elimination Kit—which kills and eliminates both super lice and regular head lice (and eggs).
Head lice may be hard to detect because they move quickly and are very small. These tips can help.
If no lice or nits (eggs) are found, DO NOT TREAT. Carefully re-inspect daily for at least two weeks following suspected exposure to lice.
If you do find lice or eggs, treat hair with a RID Lice Treatment Kit!
Also, continue to inspect household members who may have been exposed to lice for at least two weeks.
Checking for pubic lice and body lice is different than head lice.
