Bandito - Send Mosquito's Packing

How I Serve

I search for emerging companies, technologies, disruptive technologies, innovations, start-ups and up-starts. I’ll look to match potential problems… e.g. “plastic pollution” to solutions… e.g. 3D Printer for recycled plastic waste…for potential venture capitalists, angel investors, and online funders. I’ll also highlight a variety of topics including funding success stories, the environment, housing, medical, artificial intelligence, science, aging populations, disabled populations, social entrepreneurs, philanthropy, and topical news. I’m always searching for great people innovating, inventing, and doing, great things.

I don’t endorse. Only disseminate.

Bandito: A Mosquito Blocker You Wear On Your Wrist

The Most Convenient & Extremely Powerful Mosquito Repellent You Will Ever Own

Finally, a new way to protect yourself from mosquitoes! The Bandito wristband utilizes non-toxic scent in combination with powerful sonic sound to create the ultimate portable shield against mosquitoes. Put it on in the morning and you're set all day! It's time to take back the outdoors from annoying mosquitoes.

The Bandito shields you from mosquitoes by combining two of the most powerful proven repellent technologies. Say goodbye to annoying itching.

 NON-TOXIC SCENT STRIPS

It smells great to you but not to them. Here are the main ingredients used:

• Citronella - Hands down the most effective natural alternative to DEET
• Peppermint - Refreshing to us, revolting to mosquitoes
• Lemongrass - Nothing repels a mosquito better than this lemon-citrus scent

 SONIC SOUND

Have you every heard a sound that makes you cringe? The Bandito emits a sound that makes mosquitoes cringe. This sound is so irritating to mosquitoes that they'll fly away before bothering you.

Did you know in 2016, 91% of Malaria-related deaths were based in Africa?

When you buy one of our wristbands, you’re helping take a stand against the lethal Malaria disease in Africa. Malaria is a disease spread by mosquito bites from an infected Anopheles mosquito. For us, a mosquito bite is nothing more than an annoying itch, but for others, it means fighting for their lives. We want to do our part to help support the efforts to eradicate Malaria. So for every Bandito backing, we pledge to donate a portion of our revenue to Malaria No More. This will be an ongoing contribution that will continue even after our product hits the market! The best part is that you get to be a part of a great cause!

Why Bandito? //

• The Bandito utilizes scent and sound to help fend off mosquitoes from the comfort of your wrist! The silicone band has multiple holes so that you can adjust it to fit any size arm. Clip it to your backpack, shorts, or anywhere! It’s ready to protect! The Bandito has an easy to use button to turn the sonic sound on and off and engineered slits for maximum scent ventilation.

How does the Bandito work? //

• The Bandito utilizes EPA approved insect repellents such as lemongrass, citronella, and peppermint. These ingredients have been widely accepted as the most effective natural substitutes for DEET. The sonic sound is designed to imitate mosquito predators which keeps mosquitoes at bay. If you still have concern why don't you try out the Bandito? If it doesn't work to your satisfaction you can always return it within 14 days upon delivery. :)

How long does the Bandito repel mosquitoes? //

• We recommend changing the strips every 2 weeks for maximum effectiveness. Each Bandito includes 12 strips which will last 1 season (3 months). Strips are shipped vacuum sealed to stay effective over time! One refill pack comes with 12 scent strips and one battery which can be easily exchanged.
• The battery lasts approximately 500 hours. This allows you to activate the sonic sound for up to 5 1/2 hours a day for 90 days.

Does the Bandito harm me? //

• No! The Bandito can be safely used by adults and children. It is designed to be non-intrusive to you while still being highly effective. Although the Bandito is not harmful to children, it does have small parts! We recommend you monitor children under 3 years of age with the Bandito.

Does the Bandito protect me 100%? /

• The Bandito does not protect you 100% from mosquito bites. However, it dramatically reduces the risk of getting bitten, just like condoms or birth control pills also don't guarantee 100% safety.
