Our daughter suffered for months. We tried all of the insecticides over and over. They didn't work. Washed everything, sprayed everything with no luck. We finally tried the vegetable oil. We really coated her hair with it, covered her head with a plastic bad, and left on for several hours. Then washed. They were gone. Going through it all is horrible. I can relate.
