  1. The problem

    A clinic visit is a long trip.

    Our clinics are in Brooklyn and Manhattan, over the Verrazzano or by ferry. That is hard with a stressed child, and drugstore kits rarely work on NYC lice.
  2. What we do

    We bring the treatment to your living room.

    We book a 2-3 hour arrival window and call 30 minutes ahead. Then we check everyone and remove every louse and nit by hand.
  3. Why it works

    One visit covers the whole household.

    Lice often affect the whole household, so we check everyone and treat only who needs it. Weekday visits run 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM, so we can come after your commute.

What Staten Island families say

Perfect for our family of five in Great Kills. The family package saved us money and they treated everyone efficiently. So convenient having them come to us instead of driving to Manhattan!
Michelle P.Great Kills
Evening appointment in Tottenville worked perfectly around our work schedules. Technician was professional and thorough. Kids were lice-free and back in school the next day with clearance letters.
Robert K.Tottenville
They came all the way to our home in Westerleigh. No need to drive anywhere with stressed kids. Treatment at home was a lifesaver. Highly recommend for any Staten Island family!
Lisa D.Westerleigh
Called on a Saturday morning after finding lice on my daughter. They were at our New Dorp home by early afternoon. Checked all four of us, treated two, and we were done before dinner. The guarantee gave us peace of mind.

Staten Island lice removal FAQ

Common questions from Staten Island families.

Still have questions? Call 917-742-2978

How much does lice removal cost on Staten Island?

Our flat rate for lice removal is $250 per person regardless of hair length, plus a $150 travel fee for the home visit. This includes a full screening, complete manual removal of all lice and nits, aftercare instructions, and a school clearance letter. A family of 3 or more starts at $650. We accept HSA/FSA cards and give you an itemized superbill to submit for insurance reimbursement. Final pricing is confirmed after a quick 5-minute head check.

Do you offer family packages for Staten Island residents?

Yes. We offer discounted family packages when treating 3 or more household members during the same visit. Staten Island families commonly need whole-household treatment, and our family rate for 3+ people starts at $650, less than paying per person. Ask about our multi-person rates when booking.

How does in-home service work on Staten Island?

We bring all professional equipment and supplies directly to your home anywhere on Staten Island. Our technicians schedule appointments in 2-3 hour windows and call 30 minutes before arrival. Treatment happens in the comfort of your home -- no need to cross the Verrazzano or take the ferry to a clinic in another borough.

What areas of Staten Island do you serve?

We serve the entire island without exception, from St. George and the North Shore to Tottenville at the southern tip. Whether you live near the ferry terminal, in the residential mid-island neighborhoods like New Dorp and Grant City, or in the South Shore communities of Great Kills and Eltingville, we provide the same high-quality in-home service, with the same $150 travel fee anywhere on the island.

Can you accommodate evening or weekend appointments?

Yes. Staten Island families often have long commutes to Manhattan or Brooklyn for work, so we schedule around them. Weekday visits run 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM, and Sunday visits run 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Same-day service is often available with a quick call.

How quickly can you get to Staten Island?

Same-day appointments are frequently available, typically within 3-5 hours of your call during business hours. We keep technicians positioned to reach Staten Island efficiently. For urgent cases like school notifications, we prioritize rapid response and can often accommodate you within hours.

Are NYC super lice resistant to drugstore treatments?

Yes, the majority of lice in the NYC metro area, including Staten Island, have developed resistance to the pesticide ingredients in over-the-counter treatments like Nix and Rid. Our manual comb-out method works on ALL lice, including super lice, because we physically remove every louse and nit by hand. Physical removal cannot be resisted.

When can my child return to school after treatment?

Your child can go back to school right after treatment. We provide an official clearance letter that meets NYC DOE requirements and is accepted by all Staten Island public and private schools, including schools in District 31. Many Staten Island schools require a clearance letter before re-entry, and ours satisfies that requirement.

More questions (4)

What should I clean in my home after treatment?

Focus only on items used in the last 24 hours: wash bedding and pillowcases in hot water, put recently worn hats in the dryer for 30 minutes, and soak hair brushes in hot water. You do NOT need to deep clean furniture, bag up stuffed animals, or spray chemicals. Lice die within 24 hours off the human head.

Is your treatment safe for babies, toddlers, and pregnant women?

Yes, our method is 100% safe for all ages and stages, including infants, toddlers, and pregnant or nursing mothers. We use absolutely no chemicals or pesticides. The treatment uses only gentle conditioner and manual combing, making it as safe as brushing hair.

Can you treat our neighbors or extended family in the same visit?

Yes, this is common on Staten Island where families often live close together. We regularly coordinate back-to-back appointments for neighbors on the same block or extended family in nearby homes. Group rates apply when treating 3+ families together. Call 917-742-2978 to arrange a multi-family visit.

What is your guarantee policy?

Every treatment comes with a 14-day lice-free guarantee. If lice return within 14 days of treatment due to missed nits, we will re-treat at no charge. A free follow-up check at 7-10 days is included, and we come back to your home for it. It is not required to keep the guarantee. This guarantee covers our work, though re-exposure from school or outside contacts is a new case.
