How long do head lice live? The life span of an adult louse on a host ranges up to 30 days. During this time, the female head louse can deposit about 90 eggs. After incubating for seven to 10 days, the nits hatch and, after another 10 days, mature into adult head lice and the cycle begins again. Off the host, adult head lice can live about two to four days at 74 degrees Fahrenheit (F) and one to two days at 86 degrees. Nits will remain alive off the host for up to 10 days; they will not hatch at or below room temperature (68 degrees F).
Lice Egg Cycle. After mating and consuming a blood meal, the female will gestate for 1 to 2 days and will then lay her eggs where the hair is connected to the scalp. In a little over a week, the nits will hatch, allowing the newly formed nymph to emerge. After another 10 days, the nymphs will have matured into adult lice and begin to feed, grow, and develop until it attains the adult stage about 9 to 12 days after hatching. Once matured, it will be capable of mating with females, who can lay up to 8 nits a day.
