The new HIPPO Enhanced formulation also attracts beneficial insects into the garden which in turn feed on pest insects. Made from 100% plant oils, with no petroleum derivatives. It works at low rates (5-10ml per litre) and has a reduced risk of burning foliage compared to petroleum oils (eg white oil and Pest Oil).
