BUG BITE THING Suction Tool - Bug Bites and Bee/Wasp Stings, Natural Insect Bite Relief, Black

I was NOT a believer of this little gadget, but a couple of neighbors recommended it. Its AWESOME! Really does suck the sting out and stops itching within minutes. Works better if used the same day one gets the bug bite. You may still have a little residue, but it helps the bite heal much faster and honestly stops itching for the most part almost immediately. Very effective. Even my husband asks for it now! My kids and i get bit BAD, and my 5yr old and 3yr olds actually ask for it as well because the relief is so much better after. They’ll struggle a little while im doing the first one (normal kid fear) but they end up asking for the next one themselves. While suctioning, I release the pressure a little in the process so it wont be so tight on my LO’s skin. That makes the process much smoother! Would absolutely recommend and purchase another for back up!

This is a total game changer. I have an EpiPen with me close by, I am allergic to bees..bee stings. This device works so well I would rather carry one than the EpiPen. This 'thing' sucks the sting out, get it quick and its done!! Works for mosquitoes and spider bites too. Put one in your pocket! Absolutely Five Stars. It works.

I’ve tested this suction tool on various mosquito bites, and here’s the honest breakdown: it does help but only under specific conditions. 🦟 If the insect actually punctured the skin (like a mosquito that left a visible mark), the tool can reduce swelling and itch noticeably. But if the bite was more of a “numb sting” without a clear entry point, it’s less effective. It seems to rely on extracting saliva or irritants that are already beneath the surface. ⏱️ Pro tip: hold the suction for at least 5 seconds to give it time to work. Then wipe the area clean, especially if you suspect mosquito saliva is involved. That final step makes a difference. It’s not a miracle cure, but when used correctly, it’s a solid tool. ✨ Trust me when I say nothing else out there has provided as much relief as this!

This is the second one I have bought for our household. I won’t go outside without it. We are recent transplants to Florida, and these are the meanest mosquitoes I’ve ever met. Sure, the Louisiana mosquitoes are the size of hummingbirds, but they’re not real go-getters unless you’re in the swamp. These Florida mosquitoes are sociopathic. Insanely aggressive and their bites are nasty and itchy. AND THEY ARE IN OUR BACKYARD! Two days ago I was in the yard and was attacked by a gang of these creatures. They dive-bombed me from all angles and chomped down on me more or less simultaneously. Side note: At the same time I learned that “natural” bug repellent made with essential oils might work on less ambitious mosquitoes, but it didn’t work with these. I ran inside to avoid further attack and grabbed the Bug Thing. I had a huge bite on my forehead (one of 12 bites in total), and it itched like crazy. I didn’t want to do to my face what I did to my arm a few years ago, scratching like a maniac while I slept and ending up with a scarred arm and blood-stained sheets. So I busted out the Bug Thing. In my eagerness to get rid of the itching, and because the bite was big, I kept the suction going for a long time. Too long, as it turns out. I didn’t read the instructions with our first Bug Thing, because it seemed self-explanatory, but the devil’s always in the details, isn’t it? Turns out, there’s a big fat warning about not using it on your face. Who knew? (Everyone who read the instructions, but not the girl with the big purple circle on her forehead.) I regret NOTHING. This thing works amazingly well, and so what if I have a quarter-sized love bite on my forehead? Big whoop. THE BUG THING IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE ITCHING. Bruises go away; scars from fingernails, not so much. Another word of advice: I bought several of a knock-off brand, thinking, “It’s a plastic barrel with a plunger, how hard could it be to replicate?” I guess fairly hard, because the knock-offs were flimsy and I couldn’t really get a good vacuum with them. I mean, I guess I wouldn’t have been able to suck a ridiculous bruise to the surface of my face with one of the knock-offs, but I probably wouldn’t have been able to suck the itch juice out of my skin, either. I’d much rather have a bruise than a bite. Anyway, this thing is awesome, just don’t use it on your face…or do. I would100% do it again.

It's great until it breaks, and it breaks fast. The instrument is really a great thing to have, and it's functional as long as you use it soon after the bite. HOWEVER, once the cap (the part that touches the skin at the bite location) cracks, the vacuum needed to pull the saliva out will not be created, and the whole thing is now useless. The problem is that the cap is a lot more delicate than you would think, and it cracks really easily. I had it in a purse in my backpack and it cracked within just a few weeks, it's my third one already.

These work pretty well- the sooner after a bite, the better they work though. It works great within the first few minutes, but does very little after about the first half hour. I’m guessing that the tiny bite piercing probably heals over quickly and then can’t suction out as well. But who knows.. I have many of these, in all cars and locations we may need them. I once bought one from a different brand, and it didn’t work nearly as well, because the plastic didn’t line up perfectly to create the suction like these do. Highly recommend- a summer must!

Picture this: you go camping with teenagers. You don't notice, but they leave the tent open most of the day. So night comes and you can't sleep because of the buzzing of mosquitoes in your ears. And when you wake up, suddenly there are 56 bites over your body. True story. Wish I had this thing in the car with me that day because I would've been saved from WEEKS of itching. You haven't handled a bug bite properly until you've used this. Remember: they will only work within the first 5 minutes of being bitten, so if it's a day old bite don't count on this. Super easy to use, very small, and the 3 pack means 1 in the house, 1 in the car, & 1 on the go. No battery needed, very simple design. Will leave a ring on your skin around the bite when used correctly, but genuinely removed the itch every time. Also great for splinters and stingers!

I was skeptical about the Bug Bite Thing at first, but after using it several times on fresh mosquito bites, I have to admit — it actually works. It’s a simple suction tool that pulls out irritants like saliva or venom left behind by bugs, and it really does reduce swelling and itchiness if you use it right after getting bitten. The tool is compact, easy to clean, and safe for kids and adults. It’s painless, though the suction feels a little weird at first. I’ve used it on mosquito bites and minor bee stings with noticeable relief within minutes — especially on those bites that normally swell up and itch like crazy for days. A few tips: Use it ASAP after the bite for best results. Don’t over-suction — it can leave a small red mark if you hold it too long. Doesn’t work as well on older bites or tick bites. Pros: Drug-free, chemical-free relief Works quickly when used immediately Safe for all ages Reusable and travel-friendly Cons: Requires some trial and error to use properly Not effective on all types of bites (e.g., spider or old bites) Can leave temporary redness if overused Overall, this is a great tool to have on hand, especially if you’re outdoors a lot or have kids who attract every mosquito in a 10-mile radius. It’s not a miracle cure, but it really helps take the edge off bites without the need for creams or meds. 👍 If this review helped, feel free to click “Helpful” — I always appreciate it!
