The deterent for me is the time and expense of treatment. We spent close to $400 on treatments and professional treatment. Not to mention many evenings spent nit picking and checking our heads. And the laundry. Etc etc.
So, nope, no lice AND no nits in my house.
My home. My rules. There's my backbone. 
Exactly!!! Bedbugs aren't really a health issue either(AFAIK) BUT that doesn't mean I want to knowingly spread infestation around. Besides, if everybody ends up getting lice, that's more lost work time for parents, their co-workers and families, etc., etc. AND possible loss of dcfs so there goes your business, word gets around and pretty sure you're known as *that* lice daycare that nobody wants to enroll at. Yes, it can snowball. NO THANKS.
