I noticed this says it is effective against lice, so I wanted to know if it works well against rat lice?

Sorry, I only got it for my dogs dry skin she was digging at. I have no info on how it would work on lice

It kills mites on contact and they are very hard to kill, over the counter products for lice are not as strong as what is needed for mites, so I would say "Yes"-it cleared the mites out!

Hi, I don't know if it works for rats. My problem is with very smart field mice. There are several web sites that give good advice for rodent problems. I will say I did try a mole sonic device in the ground near my problem area. This is suppose to work for all rodents. It did not work. Maybe you would have better luck. Hope you find an good idea that works. Good luck

Don't know about rats, but I bought 2 and after a brief time both stopped working altogether . Even when they were working they never deterred dogs ( what I bought it for). Don't waste your money, in my opinion. Good luck.

No I have not used for lice... I have heard Mayo gets rid of lice and of course tea tree shampoo may help. The Kleen free seems natural and better than other cleaning stuff... It helps get less mites but does not rid all of them but helps with attacks...

It does say on the label that it kills fleas and that was our purpose for buying these. We did not see any after use but did not think that we had a bad problem before we used the fogger. I would call it effective, but can't speak to how well it would work if you had "an infestation"?

Hmm,good question. I will admit its super terrific for fleas - best product on the market. I didn't notice any ticks last year though. Usually I find them dead on the floor, but last year I had none. So maybe it is good for ticks. I spray this around all my outdoor entrances, around windows, and its great for flies as well. Hope this helps.

The thing it does and does very well is PUFF OR RAT hair w/o ratting. It is unbelievable at that. As far as hiding your scalp, I guess it could if you put it on and mess with it.

No it does not get rid of the lice or nits once you have been infected. You still have to use the lice shampoo and the nit comb to get rid of all the nits (eggs). This shampoo helps repel lice if they are re-exposed to someone who has lice. The lice don't like the oils in the shampoo. I don't know if the shampoo really helps keep new infestations from happening but it can't hurt and it leaves the kids hair very silky. I will keep using it and have told the kids not to share hats, combs, helmets, etc. I hope this information helps.

According to the information I was able to find on the internet, it does, but I've never had a problem with lice--maybe because I've always used it.

Not sure cause I didn't have that problem. The problem is the unit is quite heavy and needs pressure to work. It was hurting my wrists and it does not work until you put a certain pressure on the machine. Because of the irregularity in movement cause you have to constantly adjust, I personally do not think it will work with lice. You might be better off to try a handheld uv wand. Good luck.

This is a preventative shampoo, for lice you will have to use chemicals from pharmacy. As I mentioned in one of my reviews, I use this shampoo all the time and my kids are the only ones that do not get the lice in their hair.

I suppose it would work for rats as well as mice. Seems like you have large mice there :)

Hi, I own a lice treament salon so I can help! There is no way to kill the lice on the comb. when doing a comb out, saturate dry hair with conditioner root to end and comb it out wiping it on a paper towel after each sweep. Throw paper towels away diligently and you'll be fine. They only live 24hrs off the head so they will not infest your home

I'm not sure, I just know it works pretty well on small rodents... sorry I couldn't be of more help

I'm not sure if this will work on rats since I use it for small mice. I think it would be worth trying and if plugging it into an extension cord be sure to stand the device upright facing the car. This may take a week or few weeks to get rid of mice/rats and once you are rid of problem u decide to unplug the device they may return! Try using the device along with one mothball in every corner of garage. I hope this will help!

I sure wish I saw this sooner! As a nurse who's dealt with this problem more than I've cared to in my career (& my gosh do I feel terrible for the families & cleanup!), my answer to this question is: YES you CAN absolutely use a fine tooth FLEA comb that's typically used for cats due to the closeness/fineness of the teeth of the comb. In fact, I think it is a MUCH better option than the combs that come with the kits, whether Rx or OTC. I just would NOT RECOMMEND A DOUBLE ROW comb to anyone using this for lice. I would advise instead that you use a SINGLE ROW comb with teeth as fine as possible. I also have lots of experience with these particular combs as I recently purchased 3 of them. What I've noticed is that depending on the way you angle the comb, it may be just the second row that catches the lice or fleas and either are VERY easily overlooked when caught between the two rows. I've had this happen with fleas where I'd thought I'd tapped out all the trapped fleas only to see one or two drop off from time to time because it was caught between rows. This also happened with a couple of chiggers (little orange burrowing mites). I'd recommend when using double row combs, that you use them in front of a good light source. So to sum it up, treatment for lice is already quite toxic and you want to make sure you get as MANY nits off of the hair as humanly possible the first time to prevent retreatment because in my opinion, repeated treatment is the real nightmare.
