The only sure fire method with head lice is the heavy chemical insecticide sold over the counter at chemists.
The sprays are close to useless as they don't touch the eggs only the adults.
Is there any other way I can get rid of them?
Yep, shave your whole body with a razor.
No.Quote:

You've been going through this for a month. Obviously the spray you're using isn't working.
Time to get the proper treatment.
I have this comb with pointy stuff specially for lice and eggs.. but how long did it take her to get lice free?
A day.Quote:

You also need to clean your home, wash your bedding, to get rid of them. Bleach is the best way to ensure that your house is clean for nits and lice.
Okay thank you so muchQuote:

The oil kind of smothers the louse, doesn't kill it, but restricts it from skittering away while you're using the comb, and also makes it easier to slide the eggs off. You can then follow up with the lice shampoo. If you add a couple of drops of tee tree oil to your regular shampoo, it can help deter any further infestation. Alty is correct about needing to treat your home as well. Things that are difficult to wash (pillows, cushions, etc.) can be put in the dryer at high heat for a good amount of time. At the center I worked at, at the first sign of lice we would bag up all stuffed animals into a garbage bag, push out all the air, and leave it for a month unopened. If you have siblings they should be treated too, even your parents. All it takes is one egg to start the cycle again.
My sister in law was having the same problem she tried everything the shampoo the sprays. Finally I told her to put alcohol in her hair and it killed the eggs and the bugs
If their clothing and bed linens and pillows aren't properly washed during all of this... they might be getting reinfected from them as well. Just passing them back and forth.
