👋 I thought it’s time to introduce myself!

I’m Whitney Asquini, a Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) and the owner of Nit Pickers, a local nurse-led lice removal service based in Napanee.

I started this company after seeing firsthand how much misinformation is out there about lice — and how many families are left feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, and stuck dealing with infestations that just won’t go away.

With Nit Pickers, my goal is to provide safe, effective, and compassionate care that actually works — without the stress, guesswork, or harsh chemicals.

🪮 One-on-one lice removal
💆‍♀️ Head checks and follow-ups
💬 Honest advice and prevention tips
✅ Nurse-led, judgement-free, and family-friendly

If you’re dealing with lice or just want peace of mind, I’m here to help.

💇‍♀️ Wondering why professional lice treatment is $95?

I totally get it — so here’s the breakdown 👇

🧴 $41 of that is just the cost of the Nyda treatment (a top-quality, Health Canada-approved product that’s safe and effective).
🕒 The rest covers my time, expertise, tools, and patient education. I take the guesswork and stress out of the process, saving you days of frustration and repeated treatments.

With a professional treatment, most families are lice-free in just 1 or 2 visits — no more endless combing or wasted money on drugstore products that often don’t work.

Feel free to message me with any questions or to book a treatment — I’m here to help! 🫶

Why Nits Are So Hard to Beat

🪱 Lice eggs (nits) are tiny, sticky, and tough.
🔁 Even after killing live lice, nits can hatch 7–10 days later.
This is why manual removal and follow-up are critical — otherwise, the cycle starts again.

Fun Fact: A single female louse lays up to 100 eggs in her lifetime!

Know the Signs!

🪮 How do you know if it’s lice?
Look for:
✔️ Constant head scratching, especially behind the ears or at the nape of the neck
✔️ Tiny white/yellowish nits stuck to hair (not dandruff – they don’t flick off)
✔️ Red or irritated scalp from bites

If you’re unsure — always check with good lighting and a fine-toothed comb.

💰 Why is professional lice removal worth the cost? Let us break it down! 🧼🪮

We know—getting rid of lice can feel overwhelming, and spending money on it might feel like just another expense. But here’s why choosing Nit Pickers Co. saves you time, stress, and more money in the long run:

✅ We use professional-grade products (like NYDA, not cheap drugstore stuff!) that are proven to work.

✅ We do it right the first time, so you’re not spending over and over again on treatments that don’t work.

✅ No more guessing. No more endless combing or missed bugs. We’ve got trained eyes and the right tools.

✅ Peace of mind. Your home, your kids, and your sanity—back to normal, fast.

💡 Many families spend way more trying to DIY it over weeks (sometimes months!) before calling us. Save yourself the frustration. One visit with us is often all it takes.

🧠 Lice Facts 101

🪳 Head lice do not jump or fly — they spread through direct head-to-head contact.

🧼 Washing sheets, hats, and brushes is helpful, but lice live on the scalp, not in your home.

🪮 Nits (eggs) are glued to the hair shaft and won’t wash out — they must be manually removed.

🧴 Over-the-counter treatments often don’t kill lice eggs, which is why follow-up is so important.

👨‍👩‍👧 Lice are not a sign of poor hygiene — they actually prefer clean hair!

⸻

✔️ Stay informed.
✔️ Check your kids regularly.
✔️ Teach them to avoid sharing hats, hoodies, and hairbrushes.

Knowledge is the first step to prevention! 💡

🧠 LICE FACT OR MYTH? 🐛
“You can get lice from your pet.”

🚫 MYTH!
Lice only live on humans — your dog, cat, or hamster isn’t to blame! 🐶🐱

If someone in your home has lice, it came from another person, not your furry friend.

👩‍⚕️ Don’t panic — Nit Pickers Co. is here to help you get rid of lice the right way.
