Anyone used HEKLU to treat nits/ head lice?

I am in despair. I don't think my DD (6) has been nit free at all in the last year. Since September I have combed her hair every morning and every day I find more. I use conditioner and comb twice a week but they never subside. It just seems an impossible battle at school. I use Neem Shampoo and put tea tree in the conditioner.

I came across someone who mentioned a salt solution so I decided to do some digging on google and I came across the maperton trust site.

They have a product in the form of a badge - presumbly ultrasonic or something it doesn't actually say - there is a 90 day money back guarentee and loads of positive testimonials. But it costs ?17 and I just have no faith in anything any more.

I wondered if anyone else had come across this product and if so if you had any success?

The website is;

Not used that. Try Hedrin which I think got 50% of the UK market this year as it works so well.

Sounds bonkers to me (says she, openmindedly!)

We use Lice Attack once a week. Haven't had a problem since we started using it. It's non chemical, and makes hair super-shiny because it's based on coconut oil, so I just use it on everyone on Thursday evenings whether I've seen any nits or not. Problem solved. Remeber to do yourself and dp as well.

My neighbour has an ultrasonic mouse deterrent and that seems to work as all the rest of us have the mice now! So I don't have a problem with the logic. Would just like to here from some source other than their own website that it works
