Customer Reviews of LiceGuard Robi Comb Electronic Lice Comb
Customer Review: Every household needs a Robi Comb!
Summary: 5 Stars
Lice.. ick! I know, I know. They are annoying, hard to get rid of parasites. If you have ever dealt with them, you know the battle is hard won. But with a Robi Comb in your arsenal, those little buggers don't stand a chance.
Some lice facts I have unfortunately found out- Lice like long hair over short hair, girl hair over boy hair, younger over older and clean over dirty and while nothing is impossible, it is highly improbable that you can catch lice from your family pet. Men can blame the family pet for many things but this is not one of them. Lice can live up to two weeks without feeding on a host. And lastly, the symptoms of mild poisoning from the pesticides in a lot of lice treatments include headaches and nausea and can last about two weeks.
Here's the drill.. your child goes to school, summer resident camp, school overnighter or even a simple slumber party. Next thing you know, they are scratching their head, then everyone else in your house is scratching their heads. No, they are not trying to figure out what to get you for your birthday. You have just been drafted into your own personal war with one of the planet's useless creatures. Lice serve no purpose except to annoy and irritate. After you get over having the heebie jeebies, you need to act quickly and precisely to irradicate your enemy. You need to check and treat every head in your household. If you have a Robi Comb on hand, you are a head of the game. A Robi Comb operates on one AA battery and kills lice with an electric charge, so use it on dry hair only. If you use it on wet hair, you and your family members will be in for a shock... literally. Oh, and try to avoid touching the ears. While it's not going to kill a human, it will make them jump a bit. It's not a painful shock but the person on the receiving end will notice. Just ask my 13 year old.
For head treatment-
In a brightly lit area and/or using a small flashlight, inspect the hair for lice. Lice eggs on a hair shaft look like salt or sugar grains and adult lice look like tiny grains of rice with lots of legs. Don't confuse lice eggs with dandruff. Dandruff is flakey and can move easily. Lice eggs are stuck on the hair shaft with some super sticky lice secretion. They are not coming off that easily. You will have to run each hair with an egg on it through your fingers and use your nails to get them off. This is why you want to take as many preventative measures as possible. Otherwise, stack up your favorite movies and snacks because you are in for a marathon head checking session with just one head of long hair.
To use a Robi Comb, brush or comb out any knots or tangles with a regular brush or comb and then soak them (brushes and combs, not your family members) in hot soapy water for at least 10 minutes. Or you can do what I do- throw them out and buy new ones (brushes and combs, not family members). Section off the hair, turn on the Robi Comb and begin running it through the hair at a 45 degree angle. The Robi Comb emits a high pitched sound that ceases when it comes in contact with lice. When the sound stops, remove the comb, inspect for the enemy carcass and use the little brush included to clean the Robi Comb out. Continue until you have covered the entire head. Clean the Robi Comb well between family members and change the battery as needed. You are not going to get all of them the first time around. Lice treatment boxes say to retreat in 7-10 days. Any eggs not removed and that survive the pesticide will hatch after that time frame. Yeah, I'm not waiting that long. So for the next 2-3 weeks, use the Robi Comb on all family members every 3-4 days. After that, I suggest a weekly run through as a preventative measure.
For clothing, hats, bedding, furniture- yes, you have to treat all of it. Like I said, lice can live up to 2 weeks without feeding on a host. The more items you can wash and isolate, the better. Wash in the hottest water you can safely use. If you can't use hot water, wash and store in a zipper bag for at least two weeks. For furniture, if you want to, use a lice spray specifically for furniture. Spray the furniture, leave it for a few hours then vacuum it. Don't forget to empty out the vacuum or change the bag if your vacuum has one. One suggestion I read online was to treat everything in the house and then go on a vacation for two weeks (my favorite!). If your child is going to a sleep away camp, send a zippered mattress pad and their own pillow with them. When they get back, wash and isolate the pillow, sleeping bag/bedding, hats, etc. as a precautionary measure.
To wrap it up, a lice infestation is not the end of the world and nothing of which to be ashamed. It happens and in some areas of the country, it happens quite frequently. I know from experience that in Hawaii, lice (ukus) is very prevelant. And if you have lived in Hawaii for any length of time, you know that showering twice a day is a normal practice for many people so there is one debunker for the dirty hair/poor hygiene myth. Remember to tell your kids not to share brushes, combs, hair accessories, hats, etc. If it goes on their head, they don't share it.
So, what are you waiting for? Oh, the price. Even with shipping, the price at the top of this page is about $5 less than what I paid for my Robi Comb at Walgreens. But, I needed one quickly and couldn't wait for shipping. So, if you can wait, click the button and buy it.
