Lice live for approximately 40-50 days. Body lice deposit 275 to 300 eggs, head lice 50 to 100 eggs, and crab lice about 30 eggs per female.

They can live for an extremely long time and lay tons of eggs in their life time. The best way to get rid of them is to use a dog shampoo that kills fleas, ticks, and lice. It works better than any of the over the counter stuff and it's not as harmful to your skin and hair.

Treat them ASAP! They keep multiplying fast! I would think its safer to use a treatment for ppl..plus u will need the lil comb that comes with it to comb out the "nits"..which r the eggs that cling to ur hair. the treatment will instruct u on what other things to do but some of them r: to daily (@least) comb out hair with special comb, wash all clothes n linen in HOT water n dry for at least 30 minutes, again as hot as poss. Change all clothes n linen daily..a pain but needed..vacuum alot too. Some ppl spray their furniture n curtains I didn't n I got rid of them with one treatment. My landlady's granddaughter gv the lice to my kids..she sprayed n still didn't get rid of them, they had to go for 2nd treament. Good luck!

I'm not sure how long they live, but they reproduce like crazy. You need to control them asap because they can infest your carpet, furniture, and car seats, everything. BUy some lice shampoo from walmart and use it, then boil all your hairbrushes and hair accessories. wash all bedding and spray your furniture.
