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.
