What about extracting poisons from bee &amp; wasp stings on kids? Would it help?

When we received our kits I opened one and learned how to use it so I wouldn't have to do that in a moment of crisis. While I've not yet had to apply it to a real bite or sting, I think that any foreign liquid that was injected into the dermis could be at least partially extracted with these suction pumps. They lifted skin right into the chamber and kept it there for as long as I did, and if I'd left would have brought blood to the surface shortly. I'm uncertain as to just how much poison is injected by a sting, but the principle remains the same and this application would certainly be better than nothing. I bought three-- one for my cabin, one for my ranch jeep and one for my brother who lives close by; we are in Texas and rattlesnake and bee country.

This poison relies on direct physical contact. If you can spray it somewhere flying insects might consistently land, I think it could be quite effective.

My apologies Marilyn I spoke too soon.Try tree tanglefoot in the 15 ounce tub.I've only used the one type for spiders and insects in the house. It works great there.Tanglefoot says that Tree Tanglefoot is specifically for your problem, ants and other insects.Next time I will do more research before I answer.Good luckWalt

Mix equal parts sugar and this product and place in a container that you can secure the top of. Sugar attracts the ants to this source. Poke holes in the bottom of the containers so the ants can enter to ingest the product. They will eat it and carry it back to the nest where it will either kill them or render them infertile, there are two schools of thought on this - but it certainly does work even on those HUGE carpenter ants that are downright scary looking. In the beginning, you may need to reapply every year or two. It only takes a small amount of borax. Borax has some toxicity and shouldn't be ingested, it is much less toxic than commercial ant killer, and you don't spray it around the house. Safer for you, your children and pets. Been using it since I was a teen and I'm in my 50's now and still telling people how well it works. It also works on some roaches but since I can't tell one breed from another can't tell you which ones.

It dosnt work. And snakes are not likely to cross anything that interferes with their sense of smell which is how they hunt their prey. Get moth balls and use alot around your perimeter - no guarantees even for that but in my limited experience, they work as well as wasting money on this stuff. You could also probably sprinkel lots of clove, cinnamon, herbs, pepper, jala[eno powder to fend them off. If you live in a poisonous snake area, ask an expert, which I am not. Just have grass & garden type snakes here but they are heart-stopping enough! Good luck!

I have never tried killing a wasp with it but it has a potent zap, it would probably work. I imagine it would take several attempts. Sometimes 4-6 mosquitoes at one time seems to overload it. But they work great and it's exciting hearing that ZAP every time you kill a mosquito.

No, I would try it though. They sound miserable. It smells really bad. I probably would go for the oil though. It might help drown the buggers! I wouldn't use on young children or the elderly or if their immune system is compromised. I have the oil, herbal pills as well as soap and shampoo.

You can definitely use this on kids. The only way you would hurt anyone is by applying too much uneccessary pressure.

Emily.... It is a cream for the human skin. Even if they tested it on animals which I don't know how that could be done it would NOT have hurt them. Get a life will ya, the cream isn't poison you know. gezzzz

I mean, its acrylic liquid with toxins in it so it might not be too good to be around small kids. However, this is a starter kit to get you used to actually get you get kind of that background before actually going to the advancer tools. I'm a teenager so, I knew that it had toxins in it, I just wore a mask to kind of shield me a little from it. So, It can be for kids, and adults.

It is not that powerful and we are not talking round shotgun pellets (the pattern is unreliable at best.) You would mainly have an angry wasp. This is called bug a salt but its really only a fly mosquito designed gun. A better solution for that problem is a tennis racket where you tighten up the pattern toward the center. I used that quite reliably on wood bees and wasps that were eating on the side of our cedar plank house growing up.

This will work for ANY kind of insect! Any bug that crawls thru it will begin to die. It's not instant like a poison but boy does it work! I keep a little of it in the back of my closets all the time. i put it out months ago and I didnt use much. I still find dead spiders and crickets in my closet every now and then.

Question was asked over a year and a half ago, so I'm sure an answer is no longer needed. Just for info though, 3M Ultrathon contains DEET and it's a strong chemical and I would be wary using it on young children and definitely wouldn't use it on kids a few years or less old. The instructions say don't apply to children's hands and when applying to children use your own hands to apply on them. Obviously, you want to keep your children from ingesting this insecticide. If it was my kids I would definitely try a natural, non-chemical product like lemon eucalyptus oil, cinnamon oil, rosemary oil, lemongrass oil, or peppermint oil. You will have to apply it more often, but I would feel much better using them on my kids. There are also a number of natural insect repellents made especially for kids on the market.

I returned and refunded it. It's toxic. Why poison the kid? I did air it out and even washed it but it made no difference. Get rid of it!

It just vibrates, so I don't see any harm in using it; however, from my experience with both of my kids, it didn't work. They were more distracted holding the buzzing bee than it being used on the injection site.

It has to be ingested to work, since spiders are a predator I doubt it would have any effect on them. Ants maybe, but I think a spray would be more effective
