Product Description


HELPS ALLEVIATE ITCHING + SWELLING FROM BUG BITES AND STINGS
Bug Bite Thing is a suction tool that alleviates the itching, stinging, and swelling from bug bites and stings. How? It extracts the insect saliva/venom left behind under the skin. When you remove the irritant, your body stops producing the reaction. A chemical-free solution for bites and stings? It’s a thing!
For First Aid Only: In the event of an allergic reaction, severe bite, or infection, seek medical attention immediately.




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.” After 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.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2024Style: WhiteVerified PurchaseThe BUG BITE THING Suction Tool is a lifesaver! I was skeptical at first, but after using it on multiple mosquito bites, I’m amazed at how well it works. It provides instant relief by reducing the itch and swelling, all without needing any creams or chemicals.
The tool is easy to use—just place it over the bite or sting, pull the handle, and it creates suction to remove the irritant. I noticed that after using it, my bites didn’t swell as much, and the itching was significantly reduced. It’s small and portable, so I keep it with me everywhere.
What I love most is that it’s safe for kids and adults, and since it’s chemical-free, there’s no mess or worry about skin reactions. It’s also reusable, which makes it a great value for the price.
If you’re looking for a natural and effective way to deal with bug bites and stings, I highly recommend this product. It really works!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2025Style: PinkVerified PurchaseI only wish I would have known about these sooner. I seem to get bit by a lot if bugs and this thing really helps alleviate the itching and swelling afterwards. It’s easy to use and the size is great unless you have small hands.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2024Style: BlackVerified PurchaseThis device works pretty well. I used it a number of times. Even when it wasn’t immediately after being bitten, it still helped some to reduce irritation. Unfortunately, when I picked it up to use it for the first time in a couple of months, it didn’t work. Somehow the applicator cap that you use to press against your skin had cracked. It looks like it cracked when the cap was on with the large part on the big piece, and the little hole out, for a small bite. I’d mainly used it with the large part against my skin, with no problem; when I switched it, it worked, but apparently the stress from being a little small (combined with the plastic drying out with age) let to it cracking while it sat on my shelf.
You’re supposed to take it off and clean it after each use, which I did. At least it worked for a while! Just be careful with that piece. Don’t leave it on the big piece with the small hole out.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2023Style: WhiteVerified PurchaseOh my God, where has this simple, effective, ingenious device been all my life and why hadn't I ever heard of it before? My 7 year old got a bumble bee sting (yes, they DO sting and it HURTS). A few days later I got stung by one. Then my 3 year old got stung by one. My daughter's violin teacher told me about this sting thingie and I didn't buy it because I figured this must have just been a freak occurrence everyone knows "bumblebees don't sting". Well, a few days later I was kicking myself for not buying this thingie after another bumblebee stung me in my garden. We have a small homestead with tons of berries, fruit trees, vegetables, etc and we have hoards of bumblebees everywhere on everything. We have loads of wasps, too. Great, bumblebees pollinate and wasps prey on bad bugs that are garden pests, so I love them, but their stings hurt and cause me to get a red welt that feels hot and swollen, spreads over several inches and it itches for a week. So I ordered this thingie. My 7 year old got a mosquito bite and we used the thingie. She's usually pretty sensitive to bites which itch and bother her for several days. Upon using this, it immediately stopped itching and stayed not itching. She's also extremely sensitive to pain or discomfort and she was able to tolerate this device. She got a couple more mosquito bites, the tool worked on them, and we also used it on a couple she got a few days ago and it worked on those, too, perfectly! I even used it on my week old bumblebee sting which had been itching me horribly and was red. To my astonishment, it actually helped that one quite a bit. I'm sure if I'd caught it earlier, it would have been eradicated but the venom had spread. Still the itching ceased for many hours and the redness abated a lot. The immediate area where I used the suction is returned to normal color skin, as the venom is out, but the venom had spread all down my arm so there is still some in there. No fault of the device, it says the sooner you use it, the better the results. Anyway, we haven't had any stings to test it on. But I wish I had this when we got yellowjacket, wasp, and bumblebee stings in the past. Ironically, we keep honeybees and they pretty much never sting us, but if they ever do, it will be great to have this tool! I'd give this product a million stars!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2025Style: WhiteVerified PurchaseI recently tried the BUG BITE THING Suction Tool after dealing with a few bug bites and while it does provide some relief, it didn’t completely meet my expectations. The suction does seem to draw out some of the irritation, but it doesn’t feel as effective as I expected. It's super easy to use - pretty self explanatory. The BUG BITE THING feels pretty well-made for its price.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2024Style: BlackVerified PurchaseI am genuinely impressed with the BUG BITE THING Suction Tool. This little gadget has been a lifesaver for my family! It’s easy to use, and within minutes of applying it, the itch and swelling from bug bites or stings significantly reduce. We’ve tried it on mosquito bites, bee stings, and even a wasp sting, and the relief was almost immediate.
I love that it’s natural—no chemicals or creams, just a simple suction mechanism that draws out the irritants. It’s small, lightweight, and easy to carry on outdoor adventures, hikes, or just keeping in your bag during summer months. The black color gives it a sleek look too.
If you’re tired of the constant itching and irritation from bug bites, I highly recommend this tool. It’s well worth the investment and works like a charm!
Does this match what you’re looking for?
- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2024Style: WhiteVerified PurchaseI am a target for mosquitoes. I can't walk outside 5 minutes before they find me, which means I get bit a lot. This Thing fits in any storage bag, so it is easy to carry everywhere. Get bit, just go to the source and plunge out the poison! Lumps go down instantly and there is no itching afterwards. I have even used it a day after getting bit. Doesn't make the lump go away because that's your body fighting and healing, but it helped reduce the time and lessened the itch. For a piece if plastic, it has held up nicely. Doesn't require any batteries, just your hand so it will run forever. Great product!
