My suction cleaner is a maxi-turbo, it`s sucked most of the hair off their little heads, but it will grow back in.

good gag, but be careful some people might think you were being serious, but how could you be, if you meant it you would be in a secure place by now.

I really hope you're not serious with this one. Please don't hoover your child's head! It also won't solve the problem.
If you do have a head lice problem, you need to get rid of the lice and the nits (eggs) in the hair. You can by an electric lice comb from pharmacies, or try anti-lice shampoo.
Some people say that combing mayonnaise or oil through the hair to 'loosen' the nits and lice works, but I've never tried this. Best to ask the pharmacist.
Good luck.

It'll probably take more than that. You should shave their heads first to expose them, (don't worry, it'll grow back, so take a few pictures and in a few years down the road, you can all have a good laugh about it). But also you should wash the sheets, clothing, rugs and anywhere else that the little creatures might hide with hot water and get some of that bug poison shampoo from your pharmacist too. Because if you don't get them all, they could return very easily, and you'll have to start all over again. Then it won't be quite so funny.

Im a hairdresser and for one Id not recommend that as a way of getting rid of head lice! Get some lice treatment from the chemist and then use a fine comb and some conditioner and comb them out. Try and keep their hair short (boys) and for girls try and plait the hair tightly, which should make it far harder for the lice to make their way in again!

Sorry about that. You see, the cat has the squits and I have inserted the hoover pipe into his bottom so that I can squeeze him and splatter the neighbours from the safety of my own bedroom window. I knew you'd understand that an opportunity like this could not be missed and my own hoover attachments are somewhat unusable after the weekend's fetish party...

Nope, the bugs hold on to tight.
There is all kinds of over the counter treatments, sprays, shampoos. Follow the directions on the packages. Ask the pharmacist to see what they recomend.
Wash all bedding in HOT water, bag stuffed animals for 2 WEEKS, spray your sofa, cloth chairs, etc.
If you do not do it right the first time, you will battle for a long time to come!!!

great idea my good man.....but I'm sure the little blighters(head lice) will cling on for dear life....
It can't really do any harm, as long as the kids don't look into the pipe whilst it's sucking.
Go for it and let the world know if it works...you could become a millionaire.

Smother their heads in cheap conditioner and comb their hair with a nit comb until they stop coming out.
Repeat every three days until all the eggs have gone.

No, it wouldn't work because the nits stick to the hair.
