Now I pre treat every new arrival and have spare "treated" paper towels (already sprayed with pam and dried) in case of any spills, etc. I also wipe new arrivals down with the natural chemistry spray when they arrive.
Good point, I keep using treated paper for 30 days as well, for exactly the reason you stated.

That stinks that pam is not allowed in NYC. I wonder why.
NIX/RID lice treatment should be available.
