<p>It isn’t that easy to pick them up person to person. They just don’t travel that way. Bags, etc are the things to be cautious of. Working in a daycare or school is more problematic in terms of lice than anything else. I would tell your daughter to keep her coat and bag away from where the children’s things are stored and she should be okay.</p>
<p>The dryer sheet thing…if it were that easy to prevent them, the exterminators and dog inspectors wouldn’t be so busy.</p>
<p>When we were going through it, we did have a dog inspection. It was amazing to watch this animal in action. The man said “find your Bs” and the dog took off all over the house. He alerted us to bugs in two of the three beds and in the luggage in the attic (clearly the way they came here). I came right out and asked the man how I could be sure that he wasn’t scamming me. He went to another floor of the house and hid a ziplock bag that held a bed bug nymph in a drawer that the dog had previously inspected and had not alerted to. The dog was with me on another floor when he did this. The man said nothing as I released the dog. That dog ran around the downstairs, stopped briefly at the cabinet that held the dog food and then started whimpering at the kitchen drawer that held the ziploc bag. Pawing at it and whining. I was convinced.</p>
<p>I think owning one of those dogs is a very good investment. 300 dollars for an hours work. They are trained somewhere in Florida, I believe.</p>
