It may drown the live lice if you leave a lot of it in the hair overnight (which I DO NOT recommend that you do) but even that is not guaranteed to work. It wont even kill the eggs or nits. Don't waste your time and energy with home remedies that you find on the internet, I have been there and one that only to find that they do not work.

I used Lice Goodbye made from Fairy Tales Hair Care. It is an all natural lice treatment that kills the live lice instantly and makes it easier to comb out the nits or eggs by breaking down the glue that they use to stick to the hair shaft. Unfortunately, I know a lot about lice because I had to deal with it twice but its good to know the facts...thankfully my daughters are lice free thanks to their other hair care prodcuts-Rosemary Repel-that keep the lice away.

Can disinfectant kill fleas?

Dish liquid, particularly Dawn Dish Liquid is useful in killing fleas on both dogs and cats. It is particularly recommended for animals too young for flea medication and shampoos. Dish liquid, however, can be irritable to the skin and should only be used if necessary. When using any dish liquid, the animal should be rinsed several times with water to make skin irritation less noticeable. On a dog, no. It can cause irritation and will not kill the eggs. Try dog flea shampoo or even baby shampoo

Can dial soap kill fleas?

When I was little my mom always used Ivory bar soap. My sister-in-law swears by dial bar or liquid. I think its the soup changing the density of the water and drowning the fleas. I'm sure some kinds of soap drys out the animals skin though. Dish washing liquid mixed with water, about 1/2 inch of in a pan will drown the fleas also.
