Lice Squad Canada Cost Analysis
What is the real cost of having head lice? The average person suffers with head lice for longer than they need to. During that time they will try an average of 5-7 treatments and spend countless hours trying to get rid of their infestation by cleaning, doing laundry and spending money on various remedies and tools.
Lice Squad Canada’s mission is to stop the over use and abuse of pesticides on children. It is not the recommended use of these treatments that pose a risk. It is their over use and abuse. Multiple treatments of toxic pesticide may cause severe health risks and should be avoided. Lice can bring even the strongest person to their knees if they do not have the proper tools and systematic approach to treating them. Lice Squad Canada can provide you with the tools and approach to get you lice free quickly, safely and most importantly more cost effectively.
