Thanks so much for all the info!
I have used the conditioner trick a few times, but do find it so time consuming and unfortunatley I must have missed one or two when I have done it because they are back in a week. My daughter has SO much hair and it is so thick, it is very difficult to catch every tiny egg and lice (especially the newbies that are the skin colour at first!)
I have found this year no lice and we are 3 months into the year and kids in her classs have had them! The KP24 did kill them last year but I am aware they will soon become immune to the chemicals.
I also have a spray bottle that has tea treee oil and eucalyptus (spelling???) oil in and it seems to work very well - as well as making the air smell divine and so shiny!!!! I am using it every morning when I put up her hair, and so far not one of the little buggers have got onto her.
I will buy the Pedi Tox solution that another poster suggested, and see how that works if - or should I say when she gets them again.
Thanks everyone, this forum has GREAT advice on EVERYTHING.
