Virtual Lice Checks

Q: How do I submit photos for a virtual lice check?

You can text or submit clear photos or short videos of the suspected lice evidence. For best results, place anything found in the hair on a white background with bright lighting so our trained team can review it.

Q: Can you diagnose lice from photos?

We can help determine whether the evidence shown appears positive or negative for head lice based on the photos or videos provided. However, a virtual lice check is a guidance tool and may not replace a full in-person head check if symptoms or concerns continue.

Q: What should I photograph?

Photograph anything suspicious found in the hair, such as possible lice, nits, eggs, or debris. Place the item on a white paper towel, tissue, or piece of white paper and take close, clear photos from more than one angle if possible.

Q: Are virtual lice checks free?

Yes. Virtual lice checks are currently available for free to help families get quick guidance and peace of mind before deciding whether an in-home lice check or treatment is needed.

Q: What happens if lice is found?

If the evidence appears positive for lice or nits, we will explain the recommended next steps and help you determine whether professional in-home lice removal is needed.

Q: What if the images are unclear?

If the photos or videos are blurry, too dark, or difficult to review, we may ask you to resend clearer images. In some cases, an in-home lice check may be recommended for a more accurate inspection.

Q: Do I still need an in-home appointment?

Possibly. If lice evidence is unclear, symptoms continue, or multiple family members need to be checked, an in-home professional lice check may be the best option.

Not sure if it’s lice? Our Virtual Lice Check option allows families to receive professional guidance without needing an in-home appointment. If you suspect lice or have found possible evidence in the hair, you can send clear photos or short videos against a white background for review by one of our trained technicians.

After reviewing the submitted images or videos, we can help determine whether the evidence appears positive or negative for head lice and provide guidance on recommended next steps. This service is ideal for families seeking peace of mind after a school exposure, recent itching, possible lice findings, or post-treatment follow-up concerns.

If lice is suspected, we can also provide recommendations for treatment options and assist with scheduling professional in-home lice removal services in available service areas.
