Head lice removal at home in Staten Island
We come to you with combs, lamps, and everything else the visit needs. Most families are done in a single appointment, with clear aftercare guidance for the days that follow.
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.
What we do
Our services in Staten Island
Everything we offer is available at homes across Staten Island, usually the same day you call. Each visit starts with a careful look — from there, we do only what your family actually needs.
Lice checks
A careful, section-by-section look under good light, with a straight answer before we leave. If we find nothing, you pay for a check — not a treatment you didn't need.
- Every family member checked, not just the itchy one
- A clear yes-or-no answer on the spot
- Written documentation schools accept
Lice treatment
A methodical comb-out with stainless-steel combs — no pesticides, no harsh chemicals. Most cases are resolved in a single visit, and we come back to make sure.
- Pesticide-free, safe at any age
- Clear aftercare guidance after every visit
- A simple aftercare plan for your home
School screenings
Classroom and group screenings for schools and daycares, handled quietly and at a child's pace so the day can carry on around us.
- Discreet, low-drama screening
- Clear reporting for the school nurse
- Guidance on notifying families
Prevention
Straightforward habits and products that lower the odds of a repeat — no scare tactics, just what actually works.
- A weekly comb-check routine you can keep
- Practical advice on hats, brushes, and shared spaces
- Honest talk about what not to buy
Not sure where to start? Call (347) 901-5247 and describe what you're seeing — we'll tell you honestly whether you need a visit at all, or request a call back.
Neighborhoods
Where we go in Staten Island
Staten Island is the long haul and we plan for it rather than pretend otherwise. Whether we come over the Verrazzano or up from the ferry, it is the one borough where we book a wide arrival window and hold the rest of the day loosely. Once we are there, though, it is the easiest kind of visit we do.

- Tompkinsville
- Stapleton
- West Brighton
- Port Richmond
- Westerleigh
- Todt Hill
- New Springville
- New Dorp
- Oakwood
- Great Kills
- Eltingville
- Annadale
- Huguenot
- Tottenville
Detached houses change the pace
Most visits here are in one- and two-family houses with driveways and full-size kitchens. There is room to set up properly, daylight from more than one direction, and no stairwell to negotiate on the way in. Those are the practical reasons a comb-out tends to go smoothly on the island.
The island is longer than it looks
St. George to Tottenville is a drive in its own right. South Shore appointments are usually booked early or late in the day so that the travel sits at one end rather than in the middle of your afternoon, and we would rather tell you that plainly than quote an arrival time we cannot keep.
North Shore, Mid-Island, South Shore — all of it. The list above is simply where we go most often. Call (347) 901-5247 to confirm a time.

From your borough
What Staten Island families tell us
I assumed Staten Island would mean an upcharge or a polite no. They came the next morning, no fuss about the trip.
My wife found lice on our daughter on a Sunday night. By Monday afternoon it was handled, and they called later that week to check on us.
Calm, thorough, and honest about which of the kids didn't need treating.
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.
Our school sent my son home on a Friday. By Saturday morning he'd been treated, with paperwork the nurse accepted on Monday.
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.
