“I prefer using natural, eco-friendly products whenever possible, so this product gets points from me in those categories. Plus, I really love the scent, so I have no problem rolling this on whenever I start idly scratching.” - Timmons “I used this on a mosquito bite on the top of my foot, and, while it didn’t make the bite heal any faster, it did make quick work of the itch and even reduced the swelling. A blend of castor oil, camphor bark, tea tree oil, and copaiba, among other ingredients, offers soothing properties and gives it a minty, herbal fragrance.

Key ingredients: castor oil, camphor bark, tea tree oilĮiR Bite Tamer is a roll-on itch reliever designed to offer immediate relief from itchy bites.

Cons: not as effective as some other options.

I’m not often aware I’m being attacked by bloodsuckers until a day later.” - Powell “Although I weirdly enjoyed the sensation of suctioning a day-old bite on my calf, I didn’t feel any itch relief, which is a bummer. However, the packaging says to use immediately after a bite or sting, and they’re not kidding.

It’s a manual suction tool that claims to suck out insect venom and saliva (ew!) from under the skin.

“I wanted to love the Bug Bite Thing - brand points for keeping it real with the name - but it wasn’t a winner for me. Once you know what you’re doing, it’s a great way to manage bug bites.” - Timmons “This simple tool works well, but it’s a little fiddly, and it took a few tries to get the hang of it. The handle is also designed to flick off any stingers that may be left in the skin. Plus, since it’s removable, you can wash it off between uses - just don’t get the pump part wet. The cap is reversible to accommodate bites on smaller parts of the body, and I’ve actually used the smaller size successfully on a few splinters. “The design of this little tool is well-thought-out. Hold for 10 to 20 seconds, then release the suction by pushing down. Slowly pull the handles up until you feel suction. To use the device, place it over the bite, handles down. That means that, instead of treating the symptoms alone, the Bug Bite Thing (like Bite Away) actually addresses the cause of those symptoms.

This As Seen On TV device uses suction to draw out insect saliva or venom, alleviating the itchy, swollen pain they cause. I’d also definitely avoid using this on little kids.” - Jamey Powell, Healthline editor

“I even made a friend try it to make sure I wasn’t just being a baby, and he yelped just like I did! I’m sure it’s harmless, but the sting wasn’t worth the potential benefits. It almost felt like being stung by a bee.

I pressed the on button as I put it to my skin and waited, only to yelp when the heat kicked in. “Yes, there’s evidence out there that heat can offer itch relief, but this thing was way too hot. But I’m not sure I’d use it on a toddler.” - Jessica Timmons, Healthline writer “Bite Away is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared and can be used on children ages 2 and up. But fair warning: This thing gets hot! At around 124° F (51° C), it’s not enough to burn your skin, but it’s definitely noticeable. “This is a chemical-free option with zero odor or greasy residue, and it really does work. Pressing one of two buttons activates a 3- or 5-second burst of heat, and within just a few minutes, the itching and pain are gone. The sleek, lightweight design has a ceramic plate that you hold over the bite. This device uses heat to take the itch and sting out of bug bites.

Pros: chemical-free and doesn’t leave residue.

We tried nine different bug bite relief products to see what works and what really doesn’t, so you can quit scratching and get back to summer fun. While there are a lot of products that promise to ease your suffering, it’s hard to know what will actually do the trick. But trips to the lake, mountain hikes, barbecues, and stargazing all have one thing in common: bug bites, and the painful, itchy, swollen reactions that come with them. Summer often means more time outdoors (woo!).
