Wright says this natural solution not only fights lice effectively but also deters mosquitoes. However, despite parents’ best efforts, some children may still get lice. In such cases, there are various successful methods for removal. Since lice can also affect adults, using the tea tree oil spray on yourself as a preventive measure can be very beneficial. Although lice infestations can be troublesome, these proactive steps can help keep your family lice-free.
