Eco-Oil HIPPO

Eco-oil is Australia’s first botanical oil based organic miticide/insecticide made from 100% Australian-grown oils. Eco-oil uses light botanical oils that boil off plant surfaces fast, hence there is less risk of burning foliage with eco-oil than with white oil and other mineral/petroleum oil sprays. This also allows eco-oil to carry no withholding period for edible crops.

Eco-oil is a registered organic (Australian grown) miticide and insecticide. It is safe for use on vegetables, as well as ornamentals with no withholding periods. It contains HIPPO enhanced to attract beneficial insects like Bees, Ladybirds, Lacewings etc and controls a broad range of problem insects including Scale, Mites, Aphids, Two-spotted mite, Whitefly, Mealybugs and Citrus leafminer.

It controls a range of problem insects including scale, aphids, two-spotted mite, whitefly, mealybugs and citrus leafminer. Safe for use on veggies, as well as ornamentals, with no withholding period. Spray and eat on the same day! Also safe for beneficial insects like bees, ladybeetles and earthworms.

eco-oil is now HIPPO Enhanced!

HIPPO Enhanced eco-oil is a revolutionary approach to pest control and is the results of a 3 year research project with Charles Sturt University.

The project investigated the natural defense mechanisms of plants, in particular the way plants produce volatile organic compounds when being attacked by pests. These compounds act as SOS messages to beneficial insects letting them know that tasty snacks are on nearby plants! A whole range of beneficial insects are attracted including ladybeetles, lacewings, hoverflies and parasitoids.

The HIPPO Enhanced eco-oil formulation replicates this defence mechanism by including these organic compounds into spray. The research clearly showed that the HIPPO Enhanced eco-oil will attract beneficial insects into the garden. Pretty amazing hey?

So use HIPPO Enhanced eco-oil to kill those troublesome pests and at the same time it will attract beneficial insects to help get your garden ecosystem into better balance.
