OCP Eco-Oil Hippo (1L) – Concentrated Organic Insecticide & Miticide

The OCP Eco-Oil Hippo 1L is the economical bulk-size concentrate for serious gardeners and property owners. This 100% natural, botanically-based insecticide is designed to manage a broad range of sap-sucking pests while actively improving your garden's biodiversity. Utilizing patented HIPPO (Herbivore Induced Plant Protection Odour) technology, this formula releases natural plant volatiles that mimic a plant under attack, effectively "calling in" predatory insects like ladybirds, lacewings, and hoverflies. Made from 100% Australian vegetable oils, it is a sustainable, non-petroleum alternative that is safer for your plants and the environment.

Best For Large-scale home orchards, extensive vegetable gardens, and professional landscapers who require a high-volume, organic solution for integrated pest management.

• Versatile Pest Control: Highly effective at suffocating and controlling aphids, mites, citrus leaf miner, scale, whitefly, and mealybugs.

• No Withholding Period: As a food-grade organic product, you can spray and harvest on the same day, making it the perfect choice for kitchen gardens and fruit trees.

• Bulk Value: This 1L concentrate produces up to 200 Liters of spray, making it the most cost-effective way to protect large landscapes and orchards.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
