Product Overview
Eco-oil is an innovative and environmentally-friendly solution to your pest problems. This certified organic miticide and insecticide offers a safe and effective way to control a variety of common pests such as scale, aphids, two-spotted mite, whitefly, mealybugs, and citrus leafminer. Not only is it safe for use on veggies and ornamentals with no withholding period, but it is also non-harmful to beneficial insects like bees, ladybeetles, and earthworms.
Now, we have enhanced eco-oil with HIPPO! HIPPO Enhanced eco-oil is the fruit of a 3-year research collaboration with Charles Sturt University. By incorporating the natural defence mechanisms of plants, HIPPO Enhanced eco-oil has been engineered to mimic the volatile organic compounds plants produce when under pest attack. These compounds act as attractants to beneficial insects, encouraging them into your garden to feast on the pest insects.
In practical terms, when you use HIPPO Enhanced eco-oil, you not only eradicate troublesome pests but also promote the presence of beneficial insects. This dual action helps to establish a healthier and more balanced ecosystem in your garden.
Key Features:
- 100% plant oils, containing no petroleum derivatives
- Effective against common pests, while remaining safe for beneficial insects
- HIPPO Enhanced to attract beneficial insects to your garden
- Highly effective even at low rates
- Reduced risk of foliage burn
- Ideal for organic pest control in vegetable patches

- Proudly made in Australia using locally grown plant oils

Eco-oil can also be used as an adjuvant, enhancing the effectiveness of other sprays by improving their sticking and spreading ability, slowing the evaporation rate of spray droplets, and reducing spray drift. To use eco-oil in this way, simply add 2ml per litre of the made-up spray solution and shake well before use.
Embrace a more organic approach to pest control with eco-oil, and watch your garden thrive in a balanced and beneficial insect-friendly environment.
