head lice live on heads; a place were is is warm. they do not live very long on objects like mattresses furniture carpet etc. whether you drag them outside in the cold or just leave them where they area. just treat the person(s) for the lice; not the objects. repeat the human treatment in a week and you should get rid of this unwelcomed infestation.
will cold climate kill head lice? . i live in northern minnesota the current temperature outside is -10 degrees. i am curious if i put mattresses pillows etc out in the cold if that would kill off head lice? i was told putting things in the freezer kill lice so i thought since i live in a big freezer that it might do the same. thank you.
