THE MOST CONVENIENT MOSQUITO BLOCKER


 

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

 

 


WHAT THE MEDIA SAYS


 

 


PRODUCT FEATURES:

 HOW DOES THE BANDITO WORK?


 

 

 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.

Hear it for yourself! Place it close to your ear and you'll notice a faint buzzing. It's nearly impossible for humans to hear otherwise. Mosquitoes, on the other hand, will be hearing it for sure!

Still curious? Check out the video below to get a better idea of how loud the Bandito is outside.

*The perception of the sound can vary based on the device you play the video with. It only provides a rough indicator of what the real life experience will be like.
** The perception of how loud the wristband is differs based on the surrounding sounds. We have found that it is not noticeable if you wear it outside, but in a quiet room you will notice it. You can always turn it off when you are inside  which will also save battery life.

 


REFILLS


 

 

REFILLS EXPLAINED

Each Bandito refill will last for 1 season (3 months) and includes:

  • 12 vacuum sealed scent strips*
  • 1 battery**

*We recommend changing the scent strips every two weeks. (Lasts for 3 months!)
**The battery lasts about 500 hours. (That's 5.5 hours of usage a day for 90 days!)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


 

How did you come up with the idea for the Bandito? //
  • Our founder, Paul, got bitten by a mosquito over the summer of 2017 and couldn't sleep from the itchy welts left behind. He immediately began researching eco-friendly, yet effective, and portable solutions. He found that sound and smell repel mosquitoes best. The problem was that these solutions were either outlet-only or smell-only. After working with a team of scientists, Paul landed on the natural scents and sonic sound that make the Bandito wristband so powerful today.
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.
Does the Bandito work with other bugs? //
  • No, but it’s highly effective at blocking you from mosquitoes and ensures that your outdoor experiences are stress-free.
Is the Bandito dangerous for pets? //
  • No! Your pets are safe. We designed the Bandito to have a minimal impact on you and your animals.
How do I know the Bandito is activated? //
  • Simply turn the Bandito on and put it to your ear. If you hear a faint buzz the sonic sound is activated! Now, put it to your nose. If you smell it, you're good to go!
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 come in different sizes? //
  • The Bandito is one size fits all. The strap has adjustable eyelets with the smallest setting at 5.5'' (14.0cm) and the biggest at 8.5'' (21.6cm) respectively.
  • The adjustable eyelets that also fit children. If for some reason it doesn't fit, email us at support@guarden.co and we’ll get it right!
Does the Bandito come in different colors? //
  • Currently, the Bandito device is only available in white with the choice of a black or white wristband.
  • After choosing your perk, you will be prompted to choose your wristband color. If you buy multi packs you are only able to choose one wristband color.
Is the Bandito waterproof? //
  • Feel free to wash your hands or walk in the rain while wearing it. Yet, we do not recommend going for a swim with it.
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.
Can I buy it if I don't live in the United States? //
  • Yes! Our goal is to extend the Bandito experience to outdoor lovers everywhere. This is why the Bandito is shipped globally.
How much does shipping cost? //
  • Currently, we offer free shipping to the US. We are working hard to minimize shipping costs to the rest of the world. International shipping prices will be $10. This price includes VATs.
Can I change my shipping address? //
  • You have until the end of the Bandito campaign to change your shipping address. Once the campaign ends, you will not be able to change your shipping information anymore.

    Follow these instructions to change your shipping address:

    - If you didn't create an account before backing a campaign, you can use your email address to set a password to log in and view your order details.
    - If you do have an Indiegogo account and have trouble accessing it, you can reset your password. Be sure to use the email address that you used when you first contributed.
What about refills? //
  • We do offer refills! Refills include 12 vacuum sealed scent strips and one battery which will keep you protected for 3 additional months.
What forms of payment do you accept? //
  • If you are contributing via direct credit/debit card we accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover Cards.
  • We also accept Apple Pay.
Where else can I buy the Bandito? /
  • The Bandito is exclusively available for pre-order on Indiegogo!
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.

     

Can I buy multiple perks? /
  • Yes! You can always buy multiple perks. Simply buy your first perk. Once you've received confirmation for your first order repeat the process for any additional perks. Make sure to use the same shipping address and we'll send all of your products at once!

  • If you are a backer outside of the US, get in touch with us at support@guarden.co, and we'll make sure you only pay International shipping once.
