Lice cannot live on couches, carpets, beds, or anywhere else other than on a human body. They are only spread by direct human to human contact or through shared items like combs and brushes. If they fall off a human head, they can only survive for twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
If your pillows or sheets are not machine washable, seal them in a large plastic bag and leave them for 7-10 days to make sure all lice and nits have died. You can also spray your bedding as an extra preventative measure, using sprays that contain insecticides similar to those found in lice shampoos.
The risk of getting infested by a louse that has fallen onto a carpet or furniture is very small.

Avoid sleeping in the same bed as the person with an active lice infestation. Avoid sitting where the person with lice has sat in the past two days. Wash linens and clothing in hot water and dry on high heat. Place stuffed animals, pillows and items that cannot be washed into an airtight bag for two weeks.
Simply washing the items in hot water and drying them at a high temperature should get rid of the critters. The head louse (Pediculus humanus capitis) is easily killed by temperatures above 122 degrees Fahrenheit, and the typical residential hot water temperature is about 130 degrees.
It's essential to wash all bedding after a head lice treatment. The heat from a hot water cycle will ensure that no surviving lice can find a host again.
