eco-oil is a registered organic miticide and insecticide. 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.

Features:
• 100% plant oils – contains no petroleum derivatives like the other oil sprays
• Kills a broad range of common pest insects but remains safe for beneficial insects like bees, ladybirds and lacewings
• HIPPO Enhanced to attract beneficial insects into your garden
• Effective at low rates
• Reduced risk of foliage burn
• Perfect for organic pest control in the veggie patch
• No withholding period
• Registered Organic (Australian Organic)
• Made in Australia using locally grown plant oils
• GM Free

Fill the HIPPO spray tank with water and add your chosen organic crop protection concentrate according to the mixing ratio specified on the chemical label. Adjust the trigger nozzle to your preferred spray pattern and test on a small area before full application. Pump the handle to build pressure, then squeeze the trigger to apply the spray directly to affected plants or problem areas. Repeat pumping as needed to maintain consistent pressure throughout application. Tips: The HIPPO hand-held sprayer is ideal for treating small garden beds, potted plants, and spot treatments where a full knapsack sprayer would be excessive. Always apply on calm days and avoid spraying during peak heat or when beneficial insects are active. Wear appropriate PPE and keep the spray away from children, pets, and water sources.
