Buggie's Lice Removal will gladly come to any school to perform head lice checks on students. 

We keep all results confidential between the school nurse and individual families affected. It is our goal to identify and eradicate head lice infestations. We are happy to provide consultation and treatments to individual families upon request. Please refer to the School Head Checks section on the Treatment and Costs page for more information.
