Lice Busters America

Lice Busters America has worked in the Chicago area since 2008. Its in-salon lice clinic is in Suite 106C of York Tower Executive Suites at 1043 S. York Rd in Bensenville. Its in-home team covers Cook and DuPage counties, with listed service areas that include Chicago, Bensenville, Oak Brook, Wheaton, Schaumburg, Elmhurst, Lombard, Des Plaines and about 40 other nearby towns. A second location is listed at 1136 S. Delano Ct. in Chicago. The business is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and says same-day service is available.

In the salon, lice and nit removal is priced at a flat rate per person, so the cost does not rise with hair length or thickness, and the price is not billed by the hour. The booking form asks for a $99 security deposit for in-salon appointments, which is kept if the appointment is cancelled, and adds a $90 surcharge for appointments between 5pm and 9pm. The final cost can change if extra products or services are bought. In-home treatment starts with a complete lice analysis, followed by treatment at the home, and is quoted by phone. The booking form lists a $99 travel fee for in-home visits, also kept on cancellation. The business offers a free consultation and free estimates with its in-home team, and it says it travels in unbranded vehicles for privacy.

For homes and workplaces, the in-home service also includes clearing and sanitizing bedding, couches, carpets and vehicles, which the business says helps reduce the chance of lice returning. This service is offered to residential and commercial clients. Lice treatment is not performed on a minor without parental consent.

Separately, the business offers residential and commercial pest control for pests such as cockroaches, ants, bees and wasps, bed bugs, spiders, rodents, fleas, silverfish, earwigs, stink bugs and crickets, along with general pest prevention and preventive treatments. Pest control is handled on its own line, (708) 576-1910. Lice Busters America can be reached by phone at (847) 814-5423, by text at (847) 903-8633, or by email at service@licebustersamerica.com. The site lists English as the only language and says it accepts American Express, cash, Discover, MasterCard and Visa.

The business aims to prevent, detect, remove and treat active lice infestations, and it describes its lice and pest control work as methodical. It travels to clients in unbranded vehicles to keep visits private.
