Dominion 2L is an excellent termiticide and insecticide used for subterranean, drywood, dampwood termites and carpenter ants that contains the exact same active ingredient and percentage as Premise 2 and I Maxx Pro 2F. Dominion 2L can be sprayed directly on an active termite infestation or poured into the ground around a home or building to protect against subterranean termites. Dominion 2L is also non-repellent, meaning that termites will crawl over the product without detecting it, and spread it to each other by touch and food sharing, eventually eliminating the entire infestation. Yields 50 gallons of finished solution per bottle.

Dominion 2L Termiticide/Insecticide is a versatile non-repellent liquid concentrate with the active ingredient Imidacloprid. Imidacloprid is in the class of insecticides known as neonicotinoids, neuro-active insecticides that are modeled after nicotine. Imidacloprid works by disrupting inhibiting stimuli transmission within an insect’s nervous system. More specifically, imidacloprid blocks a certain type of neuronal pathways which are much more prevalent in insects than mammals.
Termites and ants do not detect Dominion 2L and pick up the active ingredient through contact and ingestion. Because the active ingredient works slowly, ants and termites continue their regular activity and pass the active ingredient throughout the colony through touching and food sharing, eventually eliminating the entire colony.
Dominion 2L also works as an insecticide for turf and ornamental pests. Dominion 2L works as a foliar spray, killing insects on contact, or as a systemic insecticide. As a drenching treatment, Dominion 2L works from the ground up, being absorbed through a plant’s root system and killing insects that feed on that plant, such as aphids and whiteflies, by ingestion.

Dominion 2L is a liquid concentrate termiticide and insecticide for use outdoors around residential and commercial structures. As a termiticide, Dominion 2L is extremely popular as a ground treatment, either pre-construction or post-construction trenching for the prevention and treatment of subterranean termites. Dominion 2L has the same ingredient as Premise 2 Termiticide, but at a much lower cost. Indoor applications of Dominion 2L are limited to spot treatments for live termite infestations.
Dominion 2L is also an excellent systemic insecticide for a variety of turf an ornamental pests. Dominion 2L can be applied as a foliar spray on ornamentals and turf, or as a soil drench or injection around trees and shrubs. Dominion 2L can also be used as part of ant management programs to control aphids, scale insects, mealybugs, and other sucking pests on ornamentals to limit the honeydew available as a food source for ant populations.
For subterranean termite control, the purpose of chemical soil treatment is to establish a continuous chemical treated zone (horizontal and/or vertical) between the wood and other cellulose material in the structure and the termite colonies in the soil. Structures containing wells or cisterns within the foundation of the structure can only be treated using the treated backfill method. Using a 0.1% solution (0.6 fl. oz. per gallon of water), use 4 gallons of finished solution per 10 lineal feet of 6 in. by 6 in. trench around the structure. For soil treatments to be covered by concrete slab such as under carports, porches, or basement floors, apply at a rate of 1 gallon or sufficient volume of solution to accurately and uniformly cover 10 square feet.
See our article How to Do a Subterranean Termite Treatment for further details of trenching treatment.
Dominion 2L can be converted to a foam to treat voids or hollow block to create a continuous treated zone or to treat active infestations of subterranean termites in structures at expansion rates of 5:1, 10:1, or 20:1.
* For soil drenching of trees and shrubs, use 0.1 to 0.2 fl. oz. per inch of trunk diameter or per foot of shrub height and apply through soil injection or soil drench.
Termite treatments around structures and building construction; turfgrass (including sod farms), landscape ornamentals, fruit and nut trees (non-commercial), trees, shrubs, flowers and groundcovers, and interior plantscapes; turfgrass in home lawns, business and office complexes, shopping complexes, multi-family residential complexes, golf courses, airports, cemeteries, parks, playgrounds, athletic fields, and sod farms; in and around industrial and commercial buildings and residential areas: trees, shrubs, evergreens, flowers, foliage plants, groundcovers, interior plantscapes; state, national, and private wooded and forested areas (soil injection and soil drench applications); Pome Fruit trees: Apple, Crabapple, Loquat, Mayhaw, Pear, oriental Pear, Quince; Pecan trees; Grapes
Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate can only be used indoors for localized treatment of active termite infestations.
Perimeter Pest Control: Treat soil, turf, or ground cover adjacent to the structure where ants are trailing or may find food or harborage. Apply to flower, shrub or ornamental plant beds adjacent to the structure where ants may find food or storage. To control ants tunneling in soil apply a 0.05% to 0.1% solution as a drench or soil injection at intervals to establish a continuous treated zone. Treat along the edge of walls, driveways or other hard surfaces where ants are tunneling beneath the surface. Maximum application is once per month. Do not use against native or imported fire ants, pharaoh, or harvester ants.
Turfgrass: Apply Dominion 2L in sufficient water to provide adequate distribution in the treated area. Use equipment which will produce a uniform, coarse droplet spray, using a low pressure setting to eliminate off target drift. Do not apply through any irrigation equipment. Use 0.46 to 0.6 fl. oz. per 1,000 square feet. For chinch bug suppression, apply 0.6 fl. oz. (17 mL) before hatching of the first instar nymphs. For best control, irrigation or rainfall should occur within 24 hours after application to move the active ingredient through the thatch. Avoid mowing are until after irrigation or rainfall.
Foliar applications: Use 1.5 fl. oz. per 100 gal. of water for foliar pests on trees, shrubs, flowers, groundcovers, etc. Begin applications before the onset of high pest populations and reapply as needed. For broadcast applications, use 0.46 to 0.6 fl. oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. Use enough water to mix the product and thoroughly apply to the treatment area. Do not use less than 2 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. For best results, irrigate after application to incorporate Dominion 2L into the upper soil level.
Soil drench: For trees, use 0.1 to 0.2 fl. oz. per inch of trunk diameter (or per foot of shrub height for shrubs). Apply uniformly as a drench around the base of the tree in not less than 10 gallons of water per 1000 square feet. Direct application to the root area. Remove plastic or any other barrier that will stop solution from reaching the root zone. For soil injection, Use enough water to mix the product and inject an equal amount of solution in each hole. Use low pressure and sufficient solution for distribution of the liquid into the treatment area. For best control, keep the treated area moist for 7 to 10 days. Do not use less than 4 holes per tree or shrub.

Unsure at this time
By Gary on 04/28/2011
I had a major infestation of flying drone termites in my house. I trenched around my entire house 6-8" down and 4-5" away from foundation where I could and drilled a 1/2" hole 18" deep at the stoop and driveway every 10" and applied Dominion 2L at the rate shown for heavy infestation. I still had them in my house 5 days later though not as bad. I then went to the basement and exposed the exterior framing at the foundation and proceed to spray the BoraCare. 1/2 way through this process I found huge piles of dirt and trails a plenty underneath my front door. At this time I saturated the wood using the Dominion 2L. It is now over a week since then (2 weeks since treating outside) and I am still finding one or two termite upstairs everyday.

Dominion 2L Product Review
By Patrick on 04/29/2010
I don't know why the wood adjacent to my bath tub wet-wall was moist? I found no leaks and the plumbing vent to the roof was well sealed. Condensation? The bath drainpipe and water inlets come up through a hole in the slab. The subterranean termite varmints tunneled 10' or 40' under the house slab and surfaced at this point of exposed earth attracted by the moist wood. They swarmed the first warm days in Spring. I treated the exposed earthen area with the Dominion 2L termiticide and then filled it in with sand which is known to obstruct termites. I treated the slab, wood framing, floor and molding with a 2:1 water to Bora-Care mixture. I sprayed Bora-Care down from the attic and drilled holes in the walls where there was no other access. I finished by treating the ground around the house with Dominion 2L. This is my first experience with a termite infestation and my problem appears to have been solved for under $170. I Thank DoMyOwnPestControl.com for providing professional products at fair prices.

Effective
By Lawrence on 06/08/2010
I used this material to treat a very large tree in my yard that was being attacked by termites and large black ants. I previously used products from Home Depot; a complete waste of money. Within one day, I could not find any activity.

Good Value
By Robert on 05/21/2010
I found the process not that difficult. I used a short pickax to dig the trench, and needed 2 containers of Dominion. I found the tech support from the website to be great, but still have to wait a while to see if all termite activity ceases. So far so good, no new mud tubes, and its been 3 weeks since the application.

Dominion 2L works as advertised
By Robert on 06/12/2010
I trenched around my house (using a small pickax) and applied Dominion 2L as directed by the very helpful staff at DoMyOwnPestControl.com. It's a month and a half later, we replaced a threshold that was eaten up, and there doesn't appear to be any signs of termites. This wasn't easy, but it saved a bundle. Also the carpenter ant gel sold on this site is very effective. Thanks again!!

Around my house there are a few areas that are challenging to trench around 6 inches wide and deep along the perimeter. When using Dominion 2L, what are the concerns if there was no trench, but the 4 gallons per 10 feet were poured along the base slowly enough to allow soaking along the base with minimal runoff from the base of the foundation?
Simply pouring a termiticide such as Dominion 2L around the foundation will not provide ample protection from termites. There is no guarantee how deep the product will absorb into the ground, and you need a termiticide at least 6 inches deep for termite protection. Another option would be to create holes using a rod or dowel that is at least 6-12 inches deep every 12 - 18 inches, then you would still be appling 4 gallons of solution per 10 feet by pouring the product evenly into each hole.
Otherwise, bait stations such as the Advance Termite Bait Stations are placed 2-4 feet out from the structure, outside the dripline of the roof.
I would like to buy Dominion Termiticide to apply as a barrier around the house and set and forget (for 7 years at least). Several sides of my house has steep declining slopes against the house. What is the best method of trenching and applying to account for the slopes. I'm afraid that trenching 10ft then pouring the diluted mixture will run off. Thank you.
You can do the soil drench treatment by digging a 6x6 inch trench around the foundation and pour 2.4 fl oz of Dominion 2L into 4 gallons of water per 10 feet. With the sides of the house with the slope make sure you are doing a backfill method. With the backfill method you want to treat the soil that was removed when digging the trench before placing it back into the trench. If you need any more information about our performing a soil drench treatment you can look on our Termite Treatment guide

Direct trunk spray vs. drench?

We just built a house on piers. We purchased termidor for the house. Do we trench around the perimeter an also each of the 52 piers? We also purchased a bunch of rough cut lumber for a barn. We noticed each piece that touched the ground was eaten up and infested with termites. I sprayed demon wp and killed the visible termites but I know there are more. Can I use either of these products And spray directly on termites I see under wood around our 5 acres? Last question, we have several trees on the property. I have seen active termites at the base of each tree. I'm not sure if they are in the trees but all of the trees look sickly. What product should I use and how do I apply it to the trees?
If you know where the termites are active we do recommend directly treating that area with Dominion 2L. You should trench and treat around the exterior walls, inside crawl spaces, and trench and treat around each pier for best results. Any part of the home that touches the soil should be treated around.

The roof is only a couple feet off the ground, so I can't get under it to dig a trench to pour the termiticide. If I repeat the treatment every year, can I just use it as a soil drench, like I would if I were treating a tree for bugs? I could do that, and maybe scrape a bit of a shallow trench under there to pour into.
If you cannot trench with Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate in an area you would just have to leave that area open as a possible entry or you can use stations in the area as part of prevention. Applying Dominion as you would a soil drench to a plant would not have the same effect as it would in an actual 6 x 6 trench. It lasts 5-7 years in the soil so would not be applied once a year for termite prevention.
2 trees badly infected. Big trees so I have to do the soil drench method.

3 yrs ago, we had a french drain and sump pump installed in or Basement.The following 2 springs, we had a termite swarm in the basement. I am going to treat the outside perimeter with Dominion 2 but feel that they are under basement floor. Can I pour Dominion in the french drain
No, Dominion 2L Termiticide is not labeled to be used on pineapple plants.
You can use Monterey Fruit Tree & Vegetable Systemic Soil Drench instead to do a soil drench for whitefly control and it is labeled safe to be applied around pineapple plants.
For a foliar application, you can use Ferti-lome Triple Action.
I plan to use Dominion 2L on my post oak trees to control tree boars. I have read the label that came with it and I think I understand the mixture rates. However, I do not know where exactly to place the drench. Do I drench at the drip line, at the base of the trunk or somewhere in between? Also, can Dominion 2L be injected directly into an infested tree - if so how and where? One of my oaks is infested and I wondered if direct injection may give it a better chance? Thanks

We normally would not recommend to apply Talstar P over the same area a Dominion drench has been applied. It could cause the Dominion to pick up some repellency. Now, if you are only looking to apply a foliar spray to a tree or shrub you drenched with Dominion that would be just fine as long as that plant is non-edible.
