Some months ago, I decided to investigate holistic ways to deal with what are known as “non-beneficial” insects — head lice, bed bugs, fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and the like.
One of the most popular questions we get on lice is “Why is lice so rampant now?” There are a couple of answers to this question. First is that the toxic chemicals that were used 20-30 years ago are not working to their fullest potential anymore. Lice have evolved, they have become resistant to products like Rid, Nix, Ovide, etc. This makes the products even more dangerous for us to use simply because we tend to use more of it to get rid of the infestation. A simple solution to this is don’t use chemicals to battle a lice infestation. Killing lice can easily be done with MagicMousse, a non-toxic enzyme. It is 100% effective in killing lice and it helps loosen the nit glue. Another reason why we think lice is so rampant is simply because we are living in a bubble. We think we are so clean and we are immune to such parasites. We walk around oblivious and don’t even realize we have lice until its a major infestation. At least the first time. Someone who has experienced lice knows better.

A lot of new businesses try to capitalize on the so-called “it” factor. Annapolis neighbors M.J. Eckert and Nancy Fields hope to cash in on the “ick” factor — and if everything goes right, they never want return customers.
