OCP Eco-Oil Hippo (500ml) – Concentrated Organic Insecticide & Miticide

OCP Eco-Oil Hippo (500ml) – Concentrated Organic Insecticide & Miticide

The OCP Eco-Oil Hippo 500ml is the concentrated version of the world’s first organic miticide/insecticide that actually attracts beneficial insects to your garden. This 500ml bottle is designed for gardeners who want a cost-effective way to treat larger areas or multiple plants. Made from 100% Australian vegetable oils, it bypasses the harsh petroleum-based ingredients found in traditional "white oils." The "Hippo" in the name refers to HIPPO (Herbivore Induced Plant Protection Odour) technology—a breakthrough plant-based scent that signals to predatory insects like ladybirds and lacewings that a "pest feast" is nearby. This dual-action approach kills existing pests on contact while reinforcing your garden’s natural defenses.

Best For Serious gardeners and orchard owners who need a bulk-mixing solution to control heavy pest infestations while maintaining a 100% organic, bee-friendly environment.

Key Features

• Attracts Beneficial Insects: Uses patented HIPPO technology to draw in "good bugs" to help manage your pest population long after you’ve finished spraying.

• Effective Against Tough Pests: Proven to control citrus leaf miner, aphids, mites, scale, whitefly, and mealybugs by suffocating them without the use of toxic poisons.

• No Withholding Period: Safe to use on all edible crops, herbs, and fruit trees right up until harvest—simply wash and eat your produce on the same day.

• High-Concentrate Value: This 500ml bottle makes up to 100 Liters of spray (at the standard 5ml/1L rate), providing exceptional value for those with larger gardens or small orchards.

• Plant-Based & Safe: 100% biodegradable and safe for bees, birds, and pets. It is much gentler on sensitive foliage than traditional petroleum-based sprays.

Specifications

• Brand: Organic Crop Protectants (OCP)

• Volume: 500ml (Concentrate)

• Yield: Makes up to 100L of usable spray

• Active Ingredient: Australian Vegetable Oils + HIPPO Plant Extracts

• Certification: Registered Organic (Allowed Input)

Ideal For (Uses)

• Orchard Management: Perfect for large-scale citrus protection against leaf miner and scale where a ready-to-use trigger spray would be insufficient.

• Vegetable Production: Keeping tomatoes, brassicas, and beans free from aphids and whiteflies without leaving chemical residues on the food.

• Fungal Prevention: Can be used as a mild fungicide to help control powdery mildew on roses, zucchini, and grapes.

• Sustainable Landscaping: Managing pests in native gardens and public spaces where maintaining a healthy ecosystem for birds and pollinators is a priority.

Pro Tip: For most pests, mix 5ml of Eco-Oil per 1L of water. If you are targeting stubborn scale, you can increase the dose to 10ml per 1L. To ensure the HIPPO technology works effectively, avoid mixing it with strong-smelling chemical fertilizers that might mask the scent that attracts the beneficial insects.

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.
