Hortico White Oil Insect Killer

Hortico is a well-known Australian gardening brand that has been providing pest control and plant nutrition solutions for decades. Originally established as an independent brand to offer accessible gardening products, it has become a staple for home gardeners seeking to protect citrus trees and floral shrubs from common pests like scale and aphids.

The White Oil Insect Killer is specifically designed as an eco-friendly contact spray, utilizing petroleum oil to suffocate insects. The brand's manufacturing footprint is primarily focused in Australia, ensuring compliance with local environmental and safety regulations.

Today, Hortico is owned by DuluxGroup, a major manufacturer and marketer of paints, coatings, and home improvement products. DuluxGroup itself was acquired by the Japanese multinational Nippon Paint Holdings, making the ultimate ownership Japanese while the brand continues to operate with its Australian heritage and local subsidiary management.
