Omethoate (C5H12NO4PS) is a systemic organophosphorous insecticide and acaricide available as a soluble concentrate. It is used to control insects and mites in horticulture and agriculture, as well as in the home garden.
Omethoate works by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. This inhibition over-stimulattes parts of the nervous system that rely on acetylcholine to transmit nerve impulses.
