    Your Local Lice Treatment Professionals

    We are a family business founded over seven years ago in Annapolis Maryland. After working as a school nurse for years and seeing countless cases of head lice, my sister MJ and her business partner Nancy realized that there had to be a better way to help families. Fast forward a few years and thousands of success stories later- it became clear that Lice Happens’ soothing kid-friendly approach and proven methods were needed elsewhere.

    With this in mind, my wife Audrey and I decided to join Lice Happens and participate by servicing Northern and Central NJ, from Bergen to Monmouth Counties. We’ve lived in Maplewood NJ since 1990 and having enjoyed successful careers in the service industry and the raising of our three sons Peter, Kevin and Jack we were ready for something new. We’re happy to say that Lice Happens happened to us! We have thoroughly enjoyed helping countless families survive the relentless scourge of head lice and feel privileged to do so.

    So, if lice has happened to you – call the professionals at Lice Happens at 973.727.8902. Ask for Audrey or Peter.

    AUDREY

    Lice Treatment Professional

    Helping a family deal with a lice situation is more than just removal. When I go to a home, the family is usually stressed and sometimes embarrassed. Besides treating the problem, I educate families, provide comfort and debunk common myths. By the time I leave they’re feeling at ease, in control, armed with facts and know-how.  And because it takes time and persistence to comb out every last nit, I get to know the family and play some old favorites like 20 questions and I SPY. I’ve even been known to help with homework. I find it very rewarding to see a family be restored to sanity

    What To Expect During Your Lice Treatment

    When lice happens, what families need most is someone who can show up quickly and discretely, and actually solve the problem the first time. That’s exactly what we do. From the moment we arrive at your home, our certified Lice Treatment Specialists handle everything, so although lice happens, you don’t need to worry about a thing.

    Our Lice Removal Process

    • Schedule your appointment. Call or text our Lice Happens LiceLine and a specialist can often be at your home the same day. We work around your schedule, including evenings and weekends.
    • Discreet arrival. Your specialist will arrive in plain clothing with all equipment in hand. No marked vehicles, no signage, just a professional at your door.
    • Family-wide screening. We check every member of the house, not just the person who showed symptoms. Lice spreads very quickly within families, and catching every case in one visit prevents reinfestation later.
    • Non-toxic treatments. For anyone with active infestation, we apply our safe, pesticide-free treatments. No harsh chemicals, no concerns about what’s going on your child’s scalp.
    • Thorough manual comb-outs. These nitpicking sessions are the step that actually removes the infestation, and it’s the one over-the-counter treatments skip. Using professional combs and a proven technique, we remove every louse and nit by hand.
    • Education and post-treatment guidance. Before we leave, we will walk you through simple follow-up steps and what you can watch for. You’ll know exactly what to do going forward

    What Our Services Do Not Include

    • No unnecessary home sanitizing services
    • No gimmicky shortcuts
    • No harsh chemical treatment products
    • No added downtime built into the visit
    • No pressure to buy services your family does not need

    Need Lice Screenings or Treatment In Your Central and North Jersey-based School or Camp?

    Lice Happens partners with schools, daycares, and summer camps across Central and North Jersey to provide professional on-site lice screening and treatment services. Whether you’re responding to an active outbreak, running routine head checks before camp opens, or preparing for the back-to-school season, our certified Lice Treatment Specialists can handle it efficiently, discreetly, and without disrupting your day.

    Our school and camp services include:

     

    • Full-class or full-camp screenings to identify active cases quickly and discreetly. Our goal is to help keep everyone safe and free of lice infestations, not embarrass someone dealing with an active infestation.
    • On-site treatment for any confirmed cases, so children don’t need to be sent home mid-day
    • Education for staff, parents, and students on how to identify lice early and prevent reinfestation
    • Discreet communication and documentation to keep families informed without spreading stigma

     

    Lice Happens was founded by a Registered Nurse with years of experience as a school nurse, so we understand how to balance the need for thorough treatment with the realities of a classroom or camp environment. We work alongside administrators and staff to keep things calm, organized, and focused on getting kids back to their day.

    To schedule a screening or set up a service agreement for your school or camp, call our LiceLine at 973-727-8902 or email audrey@licehappens.com. We’ll work with you to build a plan that fits your schedule and your community.

    Lice Removal FAQs

    Here are some of the most common lice questions we get from Central & North Jersey families.

    How much does it cost to remove lice?

    Pricing depends on family size, hair length/density, and severity of the infestation. To get an accurate estimate, call our LiceLine and we’ll walk you through what to expect before scheduling.

    Will insurance cover lice removal?

    Most standard health insurance plans do not directly cover professional lice removal services. However, the cost is generally an eligible expense under Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), so you may be able to pay for the service using pre-tax dollars. Check with your HSA or FSA administrator to confirm coverage before your appointment.

    Can nits live on pillows?

    Nits (lice eggs) need the warmth and humidity of a human scalp to hatch, so any nits attached to hairs that fall onto pillows or bedding are very unlikely to develop. In fact, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, head lice removed from a human host typically die within 6 to 24 hours. Typically, washing pillowcases and recently worn bedding in your usual detergent at a temperature appropriate for the fabric is more than enough.

    What kills lice?

    The most effective approach is a thorough, meticulous manual comb-out using a professional metal nit comb, paired with a non-toxic, pesticide-free enzyme product that eases the combing process. There are no shortcuts to this. Comb outs are much more effective than any over-the-counter pesticide alone. In fact, over-the-counter chemical treatments often miss nits, and many lice populations have developed resistance to common ingredients, which is why infestations come back. Manual removal by a trained lice treatment specialist breaks the lice life cycle in one visit, without harsh chemicals.

    Can lice infest pets?

    No. Dogs, cats, and other household pets cannot harbor or spread human head lice. Head lice depend on a human scalp for warmth and food, and they can’t survive on animals. There’s no need to treat your pets if your family is dealing with a lice infestation.

    I would recommend (and have) your service to anyone. I look at it this way – if I needed something repaired in my house, I would call a professional, so when lice happened, I called a professional.

    • Having been dealing with this annoying problem for the last month I finally threw my hands up and decided to call in the professionals. They were at my house within an hour and completely put my mind at ease. They taught me everything I needed to do with my house and how to prevent us from getting it again in the future. If you have been battling head lice like I was do not worry- call Lice Happens! They are so knowledgeable, professional and my kids loved them. Amazing service!

    • Peter was amazing! I am visiting from Australia and was in a total panic. He arrived at my hotel room exactly on time and was so reassuring and lovely. What a pleasure, the experience was as easy and simple as it possibly could be!

    • Peter was amazing! It was my first time as a parent dealing with lice and I was very panicked. I called the service and he picked up within a couple minutes, calmed me down and was at our apartment in Manhattan by 10am. He had a very deep understanding of lice (who knew!) and did a thorough job of making sure they had all been removed and explaining the follow up. I could not recommend enough! Thank you!
