How To Use This Thing - 3 Easy Steps
Our Most Recent Awards
Kelley Higney and Ellen McAlister

Bug Bite Thing was founded in 2017 by Kelley Higney and her mother Ellen McAlister, a seasoned entrepreneur. Kelley’s daughters, like her, were both “mosquito magnets.” A​fter many failed attempts to find relief by using creams and trying home remedies, Kelley decided to research how other countries combat insect bites. She discovered an innovative product that used suction to remove the insect saliva/venom and eliminate the itching, stinging, and swelling, instead of masking the symptoms. ​Amazed by the effectiveness of the product, Kelley knew she had to make it readily available and offer other families relief. In ​October 2019, Kelley and Ellen appeared on ABC’s hit show, “Shark Tank” and pitched to the Sharks to invest in their business. After receiving offers from all the Sharks, they decided to strike a deal with Lori Greiner. Since appearing on “Shark Tank,” Bug Bite Thing’s business has flourished and the company is on its way to becoming a global household name.

Made a daunting mistake

Made a daunting mistake
Went up to the Northwoods in Wisconsin... without my wife. Got bit in the neck by a blood sucking (female) mosquito. After a day of some special chocolates and local brews, I thought it a great idea to use this bug bite thing on my neck bite. It was super itchy so I used it several times. Boy was that a mistake! When I got home, my wife didn't believe I "got bit by a mosquito." So now I only get to see my kids twice a month. Worse though, I went into work and was told I couldn't go to customer's houses looking like this and they "no longer needed me." I gave 4 stars because it took the itch out. One star deducted because this bug bite thing ruined my life.

If you've ever experienced the annoyance and discomfort of insect bites or bee/wasp stings, you know how frustrating it can be to find effective relief. Enter Bug Bite Thing, a revolutionary suction tool designed to alleviate the symptoms of bug bites and stings naturally. After using this innovative device, I'm thrilled to share my experience with fellow bug-bitten individuals.

First and foremost, the concept behind Bug Bite Thing is refreshingly simple yet incredibly effective. Instead of relying on creams, ointments, or chemicals, this tool utilizes suction to extract insect saliva or venom from the skin, thereby reducing itching, swelling, and discomfort. It's a non-invasive, drug-free solution that provides quick and lasting relief without any adverse side effects.

One of the things I appreciate most about Bug Bite Thing is its versatility. Whether you're dealing with mosquito bites, bee stings, wasp stings, or even ant bites, this tool is up to the task. Its gentle suction mechanism works effectively on various types of insect bites and stings, making it a valuable addition to any first aid kit or outdoor adventure gear.

Another noteworthy aspect of Bug Bite Thing is its ease of use. The ergonomic design fits comfortably in the hand, and the simple operation requires no batteries or additional accessories. To use it, you simply place the tool over the affected area, create a vacuum by pulling the plunger, and hold for a few seconds to extract the irritant. It's a hassle-free process that anyone can master in seconds.

I've found Bug Bite Thing to be particularly useful during outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, and gardening, where insect encounters are inevitable. Instead of suffering through itchy, swollen bites, I can now address them quickly and effectively with this handy tool. It's become an essential companion on all my outdoor adventures, providing peace of mind and relief when I need it most.

In terms of effectiveness, Bug Bite Thing delivers on its promise. I've been amazed at how quickly it reduces itching and swelling, allowing me to get back to enjoying the great outdoors without distraction. Plus, the fact that it's a chemical-free solution aligns with my preference for natural remedies and eco-friendly products.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Bug Bite Thing to anyone seeking reliable and natural relief from insect bites and stings. Its innovative design, versatility, ease of use, and effectiveness make it a must-have for anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors. Don't let pesky bug bites ruin your day – arm yourself with Bug Bite Thing and reclaim your comfort and peace of mind.

I found this tool to be incredibly handy during outdoor activities, especially in areas prone to mosquito bites. It's easy to use and provides almost instant relief without the need for messy creams or ointments. The black color option is sleek and discreet, making it easy to carry in a pocket or bag.

Overall, I highly recommend the BUG BITE THING Suction Tool to anyone looking for a natural and effective solution to insect bites and stings.

Lucky me! My 18-yr-old indoor cat ran out at night and was gone for over an hour. There is a pack of coyotes that has a den 2 blocks away, in the direction he ran. He would occasionally run out and bounce around the front yard for 5-10 minutes to get me to play “chase the kitty”, but if I didn’t want to play, he’d come right back. That night, I think he was playing “chase me” with the neighborhood rabbits. (I’m sure he had more fun than they did!)

I am lucky! He came home!!- but brought fleas with him. I ordered fogger, and sticky strips, and this tool. The next morning, I laundered all of the bedding in hot water. That afternoon my veterinarian sold me flea treatment that would be safe for my 2 old cats, and I treated everything with diatomaceous earth, since the foggers didn’t arrive till the next day.

Unfortunately, I had been bitten several times before this bug bite tool arrived the next day, and I had big allergic welts. I tried the bug bite tool on all of the bites, and it only worked on the one from this morning that still had the small white center. I used the tool 3x, and still had to squeeze out the last of the white center.

If I haven’t gotten rid of every flea, I’ll use this tool at the first itch! And I’ll be super careful going in and out of the door, since an old cat is faster than an old lady!

I used this on a bunch of 1-2 day old mosquito bites when I got back from a trip -- I'd ordered before I left.

Here are my initial impressions:

Pros:
* seems to work "well enough"
* easy to use
* lightweight
* the reversible end-cap is useful
* a great idea.

Cons:
* The part that goes against your skin is ridged and kind of rough. This is the most painful part and I really question how necessary it is... perhaps it's to keep your skin from sliding in to the suction itself? I might try sanding it down some.
* When thinking about packing for a hiking trip, it's kind of large, particularly with the arms.
* Clam-shell packaging. A box would have been just fine, not require scissors to open, and I could actually recycle it.
* Suction power is limited

Price:
I don't mind spending the $10 in thanks for the knowledge. I also think it's a lot for what you get, and I'm also looking forwards to alternatives. I was not able to find a similarly compact syringe (or plunger, even), that had a wide opening. The wider opening is pretty important to make sure that you can actually cover the bite.

It's worth noting that, in the absence of the tool, I was able to somewhat effectively accomplish the same results by squeezing the bite. This seemed to be most effect sooner rather than later and the location mattered a lot -- the best result was one right behind my knee where I was able to get "under" the bite. The tool is definitely preferable.

PS
For the one review with the swollen face -- that looks like a skin infection and I do not think it is at all fair to blame the tool. I myself am not a doctor, but I've gotten cellulitis a couple times. It's painful, spreads rapidly, and should be seen by a doctor ASAP-ish (very treatable, but complications if left untreated may include "death").

The Bug Thing works! I have used it as has my family. It takes the itch out, hands down. Fortunately we only had misquote bites to try them out on. I purchased 3 and will have to reorder because everyone wants to try them. I want my own as sharing is overrated. They can be washed with soap and water and are sturdy enough to last. Great stocking stuffer if going on vacation as well.

I got a mosquito bite on a Friday and used “A Bug Bite Thing” that Sunday when it really started to itch. This tool really works. No more itch. The suction is strong for a reason. I’m so impressed and wish I had this my entire life. I’m not sure why it’s not working for others because it’s so easy to use and you can’t do it wrong. I highly recommend this and may end up buying some for friends/family in the future. IT ISN’T A SCAM.
