Kills lice electronically without chemicals!
When switched on the comb emits a buzzing sound. When the buzzing stops during combing this indicates a louse has been trapped in the teeth section of the comb, and therefore acts as an excellent way of checking hair for lice. The dead lice can then be removed.
The unit comprises metal-coated teeth, and when a louse is detected between two teeth a small electrical charge passes between the teeth and kills the insect. Insulation on the tips of the comb protect the scalp from any possible tingling sensation from the small current.
When an infestation is detected the comb should be used for approx 5 minutes per day on dry hair, for 2 weeks. This will ensure any new lice hatching from eggs will be eliminated. The unit is also effective in destroying the eggs on contact.
Full instructions are included with every unit. Operates on a single AA (1.5V) battery which is included.
These units can however also be used in conjunction with other chemical treatments as prescribed by your doctor or pharmacist, if you wish.

Editor reviews
For a while despite suffering from multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) I just used to use regular pesticide-based flea control products. I'd wear my carbon filter mask to apply the liquid then just kick the cat out for the day. Obviously not ideal (for me or the cat!).
I then started using a flea comb which worked but of course you have to do it outside so as not to infest your home with the fleas and eggs. Very difficult when you live in England where the weather can never be replied upon.
I noticed Androv Medical had started selling this product so thought it might be worth a go on my cat, although it is strictly a lice comb for kids' head lice. I have to say it works very well for pets too and it not only gets the fleas out of the coat but does kill them too, as well as the eggs.
Yes, it's more work than applying a pesticide, but it is completely chemical-free and much more economical - a one-off price of £19.56 instead of £10 every month for the "good" brands of regular flea control products.

Works for fleas on pets too!
As yet I am not lucky enough to have any children but I do have a cat....who loves to be outside and is forever picking up fleas.
