Safe, non-toxic, and 100% natural treatment for your family. We come to you—discreet, fast, and guaranteed results
Dealing with head lice is stressful enough without having to navigate Brooklyn traffic or drag your kids to a public lice salon. At Lil Buggers, we understand that Brooklyn families are busy. Whether you’re living in a brownstone in Brooklyn Heights, an apartment in Bushwick, or a family home in Marine Park, our certified technicians arrive promptly and discreetly to handle the problem in the comfort of your own living room.
We proudly serve all Brooklyn neighborhoods, including:
North Brooklyn: Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Bushwick.
Brownstone Brooklyn: Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill.
South & West Brooklyn: Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Dyker Heights, Sunset Park, Gravesend.
Central & East Brooklyn: Prospect Heights, Crown Heights, Midwood, Flatbush, Marine Park, Sheepshead Bay.
Many parents first turn to over-the-counter (OTC) drugstore shampoos, only to find they don’t work. This is because modern “Super Lice” in the New York area have developed a genetic resistance to the harsh pesticides used in those products.
The Lil Buggers Difference: Safe, Science-Backed, and Effective Unlike competitors who may use heat devices or harsh chemical brands, we believe in the Original Oil & Combing Method.
We use pure olive oil to safely lubricate the hair and stun the lice. It is completely non-toxic and safe for babies, pregnant women, and children with sensitive skin or allergies.
Our technicians use professional-grade, micro-grooved stainless steel combs to remove every live louse and most importantly every nit (egg).
We perform a meticulous, strand-by-strand inspection. Since lice eggs are glued to the hair shaft, manual removal is the only 100% proven way to ensure they are gone
We strive to make the process as calm and educational as possible. Here is how we restore your home to a lice-free environment:
Discreet Arrival: We respect your privacy. Our technicians arrive in unmarked vehicles—no loud logos or signs—keeping your business private from neighbors.
Comprehensive Family Screening: We don’t believe in charging for unnecessary treatments. We screen every member of the household first. If they don’t have it, we don’t treat them.
The Treatment: We apply our natural oil and perform the thorough “strand-by-strand” combing process. Most treatments are completed in 1.5 to 2 hours.
Education & Empowerment: While we work, we teach you how to identify lice, how they spread (and how they don’t), and how to prevent future outbreaks at school or daycare.
Post-Care & School Clearance: We provide a customized aftercare plan and issue a School/Camp Clearance Certificate on the spot so your child can return to their routine immediately.
We stand behind our work. If you follow our simple aftercare instructions, we guarantee your family will remain lice-free
Our services are eligible for reimbursement through many health insurance providers. We provide the necessary diagnostic codes and forms to help you file a claim with your provider (including FSA/HSA).
Lice don't take the weekend off, and neither do we. We offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends by appointment

Head lice and nits (eggs) are often mistaken for dandruff or hair product buildup. The key difference is that dandruff is flaky and slides easily off the hair shaft. Nits, however, are “glued” to the hair and require a professional comb or fingernails to remove. If you aren’t sure, you can text us a clear photo, and our experts will review it for free before you book an appointment.
While some clinics use expensive heat-dehydration devices, these can be uncomfortable for young children and don’t always address every nit. Our Original Oil & Combing Method is 100% silent, painless, and safe. The oil stuns the live lice, and our precision combing removes the eggs manually. It’s a gentle, fail-proof process that has worked for thousands of families without the risk of scalp burns or high equipment fees
This is a common myth that causes unnecessary stress. Head lice are human parasites; they can only survive for about 24–48 hours off a human head. We provide a realistic household cleaning guide that focuses on “high-touch” items like pillowcases, hairbrushes, and recently worn hats. You don’t need to bag up every stuffed animal or deep-clean your carpets. We help you focus your energy where it actually matters.
Convenience and privacy are the biggest factors. In a salon, you have to transport your family, wait in a public area, and potentially expose your kids to other germs. With Lil Buggers, we come to your Brooklyn home in an unmarked vehicle. Your children can watch their favorite movie, eat a snack, and stay relaxed in their own environment while we work. Plus, it’s much easier to screen the whole family at once without the hassle of a commute
Yes! While we are an out-of-network provider, our services are often covered under Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). Upon completion of the treatment, we provide a detailed receipt with the necessary ICD-10 diagnostic codes and our Tax ID, making the reimbursement process as smooth as possible for you
We are confident in our work. If you follow our simple 5-minute post-treatment plan and a re-infestation occurs within 30 days, we will return to provide a follow-up treatment at no additional cost. We stand by our method because we know that a thorough manual removal is the most effective way to stay lice-free
