Herein, we evaluated pediculicidal effectiveness of&amp;nbsp; four&amp;nbsp; terpenoids&amp;nbsp; (linalool,&amp;nbsp; geraniol,&amp;beta;-caryophylleneandterpinen-4-ol) derived from most commonly used essential oils&amp;nbsp; against&amp;nbsp; head&amp;nbsp; lice.&amp;nbsp; Totally,&amp;nbsp; 300&amp;nbsp; adult&amp;nbsp; lice&amp;nbsp; were&amp;nbsp; collected&amp;nbsp; from&amp;nbsp; infested&amp;nbsp; patients.&amp;nbsp; Then&amp;nbsp; for&amp;nbsp; each&amp;nbsp; evaluation&amp;nbsp; method&amp;nbsp; of&amp;nbsp; filter contact and immersion, five series of 30 samples were examined separately using four terpenoids and sterile water as control. All samples affected by geraniol, linalool and terpinen-4-ol and 97% of lice treated by &amp;beta;-caryophyllene were dead at the end of immersion experiment. Geraniol and linalool were able to kill head lice on filter contact bioassay. Ter-pinen-4-ol and &amp;beta;-caryophyllene were ineffective on 2 and 12 specimens respectively. Consequently, Geraniol, linalool and terpinen-4-ol demonstrated to be high effective in immersionand filter contact bioassays.&lt;/p&gt;
