Guest guest Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hi, I have a simple gadget called a TheraPik that operates on a 9 volt battery. It is recommended for yellow jacket stings and some other insects. I've found it works on mosquito bites (always wonder who I'm sharing a needle with), chiggers, wasp stings and recently it stopped two Brown Recluse spider bites for me, even though they say it is not recommended for spider bites. It works on the principle of heat and for me, it has worked like a miracle. Once a bite has spread, it seems to be beyond control. Sorry I don't have a link but it is on the internet and is very cheap. Not sure this will help but there is a company called CedarCide who sells a Food grade Red Cedar oil for most insects and it mentions bed bugs specifically. I use this spray on my dogs for fleas and ticks because it is reputedly safe for them.
