NEW VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS SPACE AGE TECHNOLOGY FOR OIL SPILL CLEAN-UP

     MERLIN OLSEN SIGNS ON AS PETROL REM VIDEO SPOKESPERSON



Pittsburgh, PA (March 30, 2000) - Biocontrol Technology, Inc.
(OTCBB:BICO) subsidiary, Petrol Rem, Inc., has produced a new
video on the company's line of oil spill response products
featuring outdoor enthusiast and former NFL All Pro and Hall of
Famer Merlin Olsen as its spokesperson.

Designed to reach potential customers in the commercial oil
industry, as well as recreational boaters, the video focuses on
Petrol Rem's oil biodegradation products, which contain PRP, a
bioremediation agent developed as a spin-off of NASA technology.
Unlike other commonly used products composed of detergents, PRP
is an all natural, non-toxic product that encapsulates the oil
and stimulates naturally occurring microorganisms to metabolize
oil.  After biodegrading the oil, the PRP itself will biodegrade.
PRP functions in various applications from large-scale oil spill
clean-up to boat bilge maintenance.

In the video, Olsen simulates a small oil spill allowing viewers
to see PRP in action.  The video also provides a real life
example of PRP's effectiveness with actual footage of a swamp in
Villahermosa, Mexico in which PRP biodegraded 75% of oil from a
spill in three weeks.
