One application provides immediate and long-lasting residual control through contact, while also allowing a second application later in the season.

Endomite™ (comparable to Omite®) is rainfast and provides extended season-long residual control for crops, including almonds, cherries, grapes, hops, and walnuts. Endomite and Decimite are among more than 14 market-relevant additions to the Atticus branded-generic product lineup this year.
