You will need 0.1 to 0.2 fl. oz. (3 to 6 mL) of Dominion 2L per foot of shrub height. 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 but you may use 1 quart -1 gallon of water per foot of height 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.
Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate is not a wood treatment product. Depending on what you are treating for, you may be able to use a product like Bora-Care instead.
Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate is applied at one gallon every 10 sq ft. Some of our customers also use a 5 gallon bucket and pour the 5 gallons over 50 square foot sections which will be much faster than using a hand pump sprayer which comes out slowly. It is very important to apply more around the perimeter edges of the slab, around plumbing pipes that will come through the slab, and along expansion joints if you know where they will be. Since these are the more likely entry points of termites you want to make sure you treat more heavily around these areas. You should take general precautions when applying any product which would be to wear gloves, protect your eyes if it is windy, and treat only in the designated area where your slab will be poured. You will need at least 2- 27.5 fl oz bottles to treat 640 sq ft (64 gallons at one gallon every 10 sq ft).

We recommend a root drench using the higher rate of 0.2 oz of Dominion 2L per inch of trunk diameter at breast height to treat insects like ash borers. We do not recommend drilling into trees or roots unless you are already an experienced arborist who has performed this type of treatment successfully before. Drilling will stress the trees, and if they already have ash borers, the trees are likely already under quite a lot of stress. An alternative treatment would be doing a bark band application of a dinotefuran product, such as Safari 20SG. Safari translocates very quickly through plants.
