I've found lavender essential oil works wonders for insect stings. Just apply a drop or two right to the bite. You could also try the skin from the inside of an egg shell to draw out the toxins. That works great, especially if it gets infected. Put it on before you go to sleep and leave it on all nite.

This is gonna sound crazy but mix up some dirt and water and put the mud on the stings. It will take the stingers out and the poison, and heal the itch. Leave on and then pick up a bottle of aloe vera gel Use that You can purchase it from Walmart for $2.00 for a bottle that is 113g. It is a clear gel.

If you have a yard and know the common weed plantain, squeeze the juice out of the weed and you should have instant relief. Plantain is considered a major broad leaf weed nuisance in the yard and can be but it is potent in natural antibiotics. If you dont know what plantain is, just run it on the internet and I am sure you will recognize the weed. Rubbing the leaf on the sting or making a poultice out of the leaf will have the same effect as trying to get the juice. The juice is relatively hard to get unless you extract.

These days its expensive but gasoline in a eye dropper,one drop per sting! draws the 'venom' out ! Cheaper to try powdered bleach to draw out the 'venom,' rub a dime sized amount on the center of the stingpoint! they make kits of sting treatment to sell at discount stores!
