Not to condone physical abuse, but every time my son would bite, a crack across his diaperless ass ended up doing the trick. Not the first, second, third time but eventually he realized that correlation between biting and his ass stinging.
Having them "drink" soapy water (just a sip. A little dish soap goes a long way) has worked for people I have known to have this problem.
Does your daughter have a playpen/crib area in which she has not started climbing out of yet? Putting her in this for a period of time with no parental attention (obviously you'd check on her without her seeing you) could help out too. There will be a lot of noise!
Actually the combination of the smack on his butt and being "away" from everyone seemed to work well.
If all else fails, break out the pliers!
