Head lice removal at home in Queens

We come to you with combs, lamps, and everything else the visit needs. Most families are done in a single appointment, with a free recheck within ten days.

Same-day visits are usually available — call (347) 901-5247 and we can often be there today.

A local practice

We know how lice moves through this city

Classrooms, sleepovers, camp buses. After years of home visits across the five boroughs, very little about an outbreak surprises us — and that calm tends to be contagious.

Schools and their paperwork

We've worked alongside dozens of schools and daycares over the years, so we know most re-entry policies and can send documentation the nurse will accept — often the same day as the visit.

Every kind of home

Walk-up in Astoria, brownstone in Park Slope, high-rise in Midtown — we bring everything with us, set up wherever the light is good, and leave the kitchen the way we found it.

Built around city schedules

Small apartments, long commutes, siblings on different schedules. We arrive in plain clothes, work around nap times and homework, and keep the whole thing low-key.

A small practice, on purpose

We've been making home visits since 2020, and most new families still come to us the old way — one parent telling another it worked.

Where we go in Queens

Queens asks the most of our schedule. Astoria to Bayside is close to an hour with the roads behaving, so we book honest windows and call when we are genuinely on the way rather than when we hope to be.

Two-family houses

Across much of Queens the standard is a two-family home: a separate upstairs entrance, a shared front hall, sometimes a basement apartment as well. If relatives or tenants share the house, it is worth checking everyone at the same visit. A few extra minutes per person closes the usual route back.

Garden apartments and co-op complexes

The low-rise complexes around Rego Park, Forest Hills, and Jackson Heights are easy buildings to work in, but they look alike from the courtyard and the entrances are numbered oddly. Send the building letter and the door code with your address and it saves us circling.

A driveway is a real luxury

Out toward Bayside, Whitestone, and Douglaston we can usually park at the house. In the denser stretches near Roosevelt Avenue we allow the extra time for the same reason everyone else does.

If your neighborhood is not on the list, it is only because the list would run very long. We cover Queens end to end, Ridgewood out to the Rockaways. Call (347) 901-5247 to confirm a time.

What Queens families tell us

The specialist explained what she was finding as she went, and answered my mother's questions in Spanish. Nobody rushed us.
Maria L., Jackson Heights
Our daycare wanted proof before my daughter could return. We had the paperwork that evening and she was back with her class the next day.
Kevin C., Sunnyside
They checked my younger son too and told me plainly he was fine. No upsell, no treatment we didn't need.
Dee A., Forest Hills

From our families

What parents tell us afterward

They came the same evening I called, checked all three kids, and only one needed treatment. No lecture, no upsell — just calm, clear help.
Sarah M., Park Slope, Brooklyn
Our school sent my son home on a Friday. By Saturday morning he'd been treated, with paperwork the nurse accepted on Monday.
Michael R., Upper West Side, Manhattan
I'd already tried two drugstore kits before giving up and calling. One visit and the follow-up recheck, and we've been clear since.
Lisa K., Astoria, Queens
