Avoid insecticides. I really regret using these nasty chemicals on children's heads. Combing rips the legs off the adults. Good plan to do this after school if headline on the prowl. Nit combs drag the nits (eggs) off the hair and conditioner makes it easier to do this.
I don't think they can live in bedding folks. The adults want to be on a nice warm head. Their life cycle does not include a period spent in bedding (as fleas and bed bugs do)
The nits are the eggs and they are firmly attached to hairs. So they won't be found in bedding or clothing either.
There is a great photo of a nit in this exhibition I saw last week. Might be very interesting to your GS?
