Yes, ammonia 3.5% is used to treat and minimize the sting or bite of bee stings and cat and dog flea bites including sand flea bites, tick bites, spider bites, mite bites including chigger bites, mosquitoes bites, fly bites, including horse flies, fire ant bites, even jellyfish stings. Bites and stings can cause stinging pain, itching, redness, swelling, welts, sores ...Use warm water with a dish soap, such as dawn, to clean the area (if there is a stinger, use care when washing the area), after cleaning use ammonia to reduce the itch and pain. DO NOT let the dog lick the area, use a Elizabethan collar if needed.

For stings, the ammonia will help draw out the stinger and again it will reduce the pain and itch. Ammonia is toxic so read the label for treatments in case of poising. You can also try lemon juice, apple-cider or white vinegar, anything with acid will help reduce the itching.

These smell less than ammonia. Mix ammonia with water (try 1/4 cup of ammonia to 1 cup of water at first, if it stings to much add more water to the mixture) and dab on using a cotton ball. Repeat two to three times a day for a few days, up to a week if need be.
