Dominion 2L is not specifically labeled for crazy ants, however, it is labeled for ants and will kill and eliminate crazy ants if they come in contact with it. Be sure to spray around the perimeter of your home.
We do have a Crazy Ant Kit that comes with everything you will need to do a complete treat for crazy ants.
The Domionion 2L Termiticide Concentrate does not have a smell when it is used. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate does not contain a surfactant or adjuvant and one is not needed to use with it except for when treating pecan trees per the product label.
Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate is labeled for grubs and is for use in all lawns types. For best control apply prior to egg hatch as directed on the product label.
We highly recommend to continue your trench of Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate next to your pony wall as well. This will give you a complete barrier for Termite Treatment and prevention.
When used as directed on the product label, Dominion 2L will not harm your trees or plants. Dominion 2L is actually labeled to use directly on trees and other plants for control of plant infesting insects. Please read the product label to learn how to correctly use Dominion 2L on vegetation.
For proper application the trunk diameter is important when treating whiteflies.
You will need 0.1 to 0.4 fl. oz. of Dominion per foot of shrub height or 0.1 to 0.4 fl oz per inch of trunk diameter for trees. (For heavy current infestations, higher label rates are recommended). The amount of water that is used will vary depending on soil conditions and volumes that are easy for applicators to use. The minimum amount of water that should be used is 1 pint per foot of shrub height (or inch of trunk diameter for trees) but you may use 1 quart -1 gallon of water per foot of height (or inch of trunk diameter for trees) as well. Denser soils such as clay do not accept water as readily, so the lower volume of water is suggested. Since sandy soils can accept more water, using the higher volume of water is preferred. After the soil drench has been applied you should water it in with at east 1/2 inch of water. Note: Water simply acts as a carrier and it is important that even distribution of the product is achieved. Thus, more water may be used if the applicator feels runoff will not occur and proper penetration of the root zone is achieved. Insecticides applied to the soil are taken up by the roots and translocated throughout the tree or shrub. Root/soil drenches offer the advantage of requiring no special equipment to apply (other than a bucket or watering can). However, surface layers of organic matter, such as mulch or leaf litter, can bind the insecticide and reduce uptake. Before applying drenches, it is important to remove or pull back any mulch or dead leaves so the insecticide solution is poured directly on the mineral soil. It is also important to keep the soil around the tree or shrub moist for the next 7-10 days after applications to encourage uptake.
We also recommend using a product with an active ingredient that is different than the soil drench for a foliage application while you are waiting for the Dominion to translocate through the ficus. Talstar P is the most popular choice for foliage application on ficus for white fly.
Dominion 2L is not labeled for use in containerized plants. We suggest Hi-Yield Systemic Insect Granules instead. That product can be used for containerized ornamental plants in home gardens.
Yes, Dominion 2L Termiticide works just as well for grub control as using a granular product as long as the amount of the active ingredient, Imidacloprid is the same. What makes either a granular or liquid product successful is the amount of water that is used at application since water acts as the carrier. Please see our Pest Control Guide for Grub control for a step by step guide on how to do a full treatment and what the best products are.
We would recommend using Domnion 2L. It is labeled for use on trees for emerald ash borers as a preventative and a curative. This only needs to be done once a year. The mixing ratio is 0.1 to 0.2 fl oz per inch of the trunk diameter. This needs to be mixed in at least 5 gallons of water and poured around the roots of the tree.
Yes, Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate will treat to Emerald Ash Borers. Treatments should begin in May or June, and should be done every year to protect trees from the Emerald Ash Borers. Most people us a 5 gallon bucket or a large watering can to apply Dominion as a soil drench.
We apologize, but we are not certain exactly what pest you are targeting with your application. To treat trees with a systemic insecticide for sucking pests such as aphids, scale, whiteflies, you would use 0.1 to 0.2 ounces of Dominion 2L per inch of trunk diameter and apply this as a drench around the base of the tree and root system. Please see the product label for complete application instructions.
If you have bagworms or tent caterpillars on your trees, then a systemic insecticide such as Dominion 2L will not be effective for these pests. Bagworms can be treated with a topical insecticide such as Talstar P before they are inside their protective bags. Tent caterpillars and other caterpillar stage insects could be treated with Talstar or with a natural Bt product such as Natural Guard Caterpillar Killer Spray with Bt.
When using Dominion 2L to treat for aphids you would mix 0.1 - 0.4 fl oz per inch of the trunk diamter in no less than 10 gallons per 100 sq ft of treatment area. You typically want to start about 12 inches from the base of the tree and out to the drip line.
Dominion 2L will be most effective when applied as a soil drench for pests such as wooly adelgids. If you have branches that are very badly infested, then you may want to trim these branches rather than trying to control a heavy population there. If you would like to use a product that will have a faster topical kill for existing adult adelgids, then you could use a pyrethroid insecticide such as Talstar P.
If you are considering using Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate for a termite treatment around the mobile home and there is concrete around the foundation, then you would need to drill holes into the foundation in order to apply the termiticide to the soil under the concrete. You would need to use a large hammer drill with an 18 or 24 inch drill bit about every 12 inches, then you would still apply 4 gallons of solution per 10 linear feet around the foundation. You can read more about this treatment in our Termite Prevention Article.
You would drill into the same location where the slab was previously treated and spray the termiticide into the holes. If you don't already have a product in mind to use, Dominion 2L is an economical product that will last for at least 7 years, and Taurus SC will last for at least 10 years.
You will treat first with a systemic product like Dominion 2L and then follow with a suffocant product such as Bonide Neem Oil Concentrate.
Dominion 2L is a great option for a soil drench on your trees. There are no resistance issues with this product that we have encountered.
We do also have products such as Zylam and Safari that can be used for emerald ash borers.
Dominion 2L lasts for 7 years when applied to the soil in a trenching application for termite control. It will last for 30 days when applied topically around the foundation of a structure.
Dominion 2L is applied as a foliar application at the rate of 1.5 fl oz per 100 gallons of water before the onset of high activity. You will apply 0.46-0.60 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft using a minimum of 2 gallons of water per 1,000 sq ft for turf applications.
