OCP Eco-Oil Hippo RTU (750ml) – Ready-to-Use Organic Insecticide

OCP Eco-Oil Hippo RTU (750ml) – Ready-to-Use Organic Insecticide

The OCP Eco-Oil Hippo is a botanically-based, non-toxic insect spray designed for the targeted control of sap-sucking pests. This 750ml "Hippo" edition comes in a convenient, ready-to-use trigger spray, making it an essential tool for quick garden interventions. Unlike traditional petroleum-based oils, Eco-Oil is made from 100% Australian vegetable oils and contains specialized plant extracts that act as a "HIPPO" (Herbivore Induced Plant Protection Odour). This unique formula doesn't just kill pests on contact; it actually attracts beneficial insects like ladybirds and lacewings to your garden, creating a self-sustaining pest management system.

Best For Gardeners seeking a safe, organic way to eliminate common pests while actively encouraging "good bugs" to take up residence in their garden.

Key Features

• Advanced HIPPO Technology: Formulated with natural plant volatiles that signal to predatory insects that a food source (pests) is available, bringing reinforcements to your garden.

• Broad-Spectrum Organic Control: Highly effective against aphids, mites, scale, whitefly, and citrus leaf miner, as well as being a potent treatment for powdery mildew.

• No Withholding Period: Being 100% natural, you can spray and eat your produce on the same day (just give it a quick wash), making it ideal for vegetable and herb patches.

• Safety-First Formula: Completely safe for bees and larger beneficial insects once dry. It is non-toxic to pets, birds, and children, and won't leave harmful residues in the soil.

• Australian Made & Organic: Proudly developed and certified for organic gardening, ensuring your garden remains a healthy, chemical-free ecosystem.
