A simple procedure for evaluation of the effectiveness of different louse‐killing substances is described. Factors likely to influence the results are discussed, and it is shown to what extent differences in age, mode of application and interaction of carriers are able to influence the insecticidal effect. A number of substances was tested by the methods described and their potency against lice determined by comparison of the minimum time of exposure necessary to give 100% kill.
