Eco Oil is the new generation certified organic garden oil. It is the healthier and safer way to control pests like citrus leaf miner, scale, and various sap sucking insects. It contains a special blend of botanical oils that won't clog the plant's pores, unlike traditional petroleum-based pest oils. It is also effective in smaller doses than traditional pest oil. Working at a rate of only 5 or 10 mL per litre of water. Traditional pest oil requires 10 to 25 mL to be effective.
Eco-oil is a registered organic miticide and insecticide. It controls a range of pest insects, including scale, aphids, two-spotted mite, whitefly, and citrus leafminer. Safe for use on vegies, 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 result of a 3-year research project with Charles Sturt University.
The project investigated the natural defence mechanisms of plants, in particular, how plants produce volatile organic compounds when 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 in the 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 attract beneficial insects to help balance your garden ecosystem.
