(1 review)"This spray is great and one I return back to often as it is natural and not harmful to the kids. I prefer not to use chemical sprays and lotions on my children and will only leave them on as long as I have to when using them. Where as this spray is great it is great smelling and I leave it on the kids hair for around and hour sometimes more before washing it off. It seems to kill all the lice and from what I can tell most of the eggs, I always repeat the application within a week but at times forget to do this and usually have no new nits hatching anyway"
