About Quit Nits

Head lice, a word that disrupts family routines all over the world. Children are sent home from school and parents are confronted with how best to treat the condition.

In 1997 Leanne Preston, single mother of three, living in Margaret River, Australia, was no different. So when one of her daughters came home from school with head lice, she was surprised to find that there was not a natural product available on the market.

Concerned with their exposure to pesticides, she started researching an alternative way to rid her children of head lice. Her early investigations led to the discovery of a new natural compound, now a key ingredient in her company’s lice product line. What resulted from months of investigation was a novel head lice treatment with natural ingredients from the Australian bush, which proved to be highly effective.

A decade later Quit Nits head lice products are among the best sellers in Australia, North America and Europe, great news for the millions of children who become infested with head lice every year and now have the option to choose an effective alternative to the current chemical pesticide based treatments.

  • Contain no chemical pesticides
