No, I would try it though. They sound miserable. It smells really bad. I probably would go for the oil though. It might help drown the buggers! I wouldn't use on young children or the elderly or if their immune system is compromised. I have the oil, herbal pills as well as soap and shampoo.

Sorry Thomas but there are permethrin resistant scabies and your info is outdated. I would use killitch on amazon or buy benzyl benzoate on ebay and mix 50/50 with distilled water and spray. They have not mutated to have a resistance to BB. Nustock works but is smelly and messy. Use 10 % sulphur ointment to treat your face. Some have stated that a 50 talc and 50 prescription grade boric acid mixture work. I have not tried it but I would think that it works since many sources state to sprinkle boric acid in rooms to control scabies.

I don't use it myself, bought it for my brother and I think he likes the cream. His doctor recommended it for some rash or something he has. Sorry, that's all I know about it.

It kills mites on contact and they are very hard to kill, over the counter products for lice are not as strong as what is needed for mites, so I would say "Yes"-it cleared the mites out!

We have been using it for years with very good results in many different infestations, and so far it has worked every time with no ill effects, it usually takes a few days and sometimes another application, but it does work. As far as safe, we always read the label and follow the directions, so even though I have not done any research it would seem safe to me. Hope this helps you.

I used it to clean the house of scabies, which I believe are smaller than head lice. It was very effective in clearing out the scabies on the beds, furniture, floors, etc. I cleaned everything with it and did not feel I had any residual chemicals throughout the house. It worked, that's what I liked about it and you choose how much to dilute it. (2-4 oz per gallon, I used 3oz.)

Pyrethrin is used to spray plants including edible foods. As an elderly and retired physician, my Merck Manual indicates that scabies of the skin is treated with a cream containing 5% permethrin which is probably a similar chemical but I would not recommend pyrethrin for topical human use. Since scabies, a skin rash is spread by direct skin t skin contact, i'm not sure what benefit Pyrethrin spraying would have outside your home. Carl Canzanelli, M.D.

I don't know forsure but I'd say yes if you wash all ur clothing in it and bag up air tight any other bedding pillows ect. It does kill scabbies if mixed with lotion. For lice I'd use nix! Then permethrine in and around the house. Make sure to use unscented and only 5% permetrine with 5% lotion 10% permethrine mixed with about 1/3 cup lotion I think is 5% like the doctors stuff

Yes, this works for mange. Should grow back after two or three weeks of treatment. You can see pics on their website under "testimonials"

I had to discontinue using this soap as I broke out in a rash after several days of use. I used it to control scalp folliculitis. It works except for the rash. There was some stinging. Lather a small cutting of the soap about the size of a dime. Avoid getting in the eyes.Good luck.

It helped me! I mixed it with a very thick body butter and it applied very nicely. I took this in conjunction with Ivermectin. My only advice is not to leave it on more than 14 hours. I had spot treated a few itchy bites that were left over and forgot to wash it off after 14 hrs, so it caused some itching and burning, but it immediately stopped after washing it off.

I found it to be very helpful repelling biting insects. It also relieved the itch of existing bites. Hope it works as well for you.

We have used it as much as three or four times daily with no adverse effects. This is the ONLY thing that has worked on our daughters eczema!

It worked for me. I had a recurring ant problem that left me killing ants every night when I got home and spraying horrid bug spray, just to find more ants the next day. After a couple of weeks of this and a visit from the expensive bug guy (with no change), I tried Riddex. It worked in less than 24 hours and I haven't seen an ant in months.

I used it two different ways.. I used almond oil to dilute it in a small spray bottle and i have also used it full strength placing a dab on wrists, elbows, neck, chest , ankles etc.. it works well for me in the summer repelling mosquitos.. i get eaten up by them if i don't use it!! You can mist your clothing.. careful cause it is an oil.. and also the area your sleeping in.. smells ok too.. kinda earthy.. have fun on your trip!!

A month or more if you use it every day. It seemed to work. It was my granddaughter who is in daycare. Now that a long time has passed without the appearance of lice in her class my daughter in law stopped using it. She is still on the original bottle so maybe even a couple months.
