To do a termite treatment with Dominion 2L, it is recommended to trench the soil (6”X6” trench against foundation) to apply. This will provide a 7 year barrier. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article and videos on How to Perform a Termite Treatment.
Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate is mixed at 0.6 oz. (3.5 tsp) per gallon of water.
When treating Dominion 2L at the high rate of .6 oz per 1,000 sqft or 1.6 pints per acre this is the maximum rate per year. This will have a residual for up to 12 months depending on the rain and other conditions.
Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate cannot be used inside so is not labeled for bedbugs nor is it labeled for common crickets. It can be used as a perimeter spray outside around the foundation for ants and roaches or as a systemic soil drench on plants/trees for aphids. You can review the product label for the list of insects it controls and application instructions.
Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate cannot be mixed into paints or stains. Dominion 2L can only be mixed with water and is used for soil treatments.
Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate would only be used to trench around the inside wall of the crawl space as well as around any pillars. It would not be broadcast across the entire area.
Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate is best applied before scale has become an issue as it takes time to be translocated throughout the plant, up to 8 weeks or so. It is not labeled for use on any bearing fruit trees though. Olive trees can be sensitive to neem oil, which is what is commonly used on edibles for disease/insects, so we are not sure that it would be a safe application. We suggest contact a local Master Gardner for recommendations on how to treat this pests on your edible olive trees..
You should measure the height of the shrub (the length is not calculated). The mix rate is 0.1 fl oz to 0.2 fl oz of Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate per foot of shrub height as a drench around the base of the shrubs/bushes in no less than 10 gallons of water per 1,000 square feet. Direct application to the root area is best.
The Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate label states the following: Localized treatment for carpenter bees: Apply a 0.05% to 0.1% solution as a spray or mist, or sufficient volume of foam, directly into gallery entrance holes. Following treatment, entrance holes may be plugged with small pieces of steel wool or similar material.
A more effective treatment for carpenter bees would be our Carpenter Bee Control Kit.
Depending on the target pest, Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate is applied at 0.1 fl oz to 0.4 fl. oz per inch of trunk diameter (D.B.H.) Apply uniformly as a drench around the base of the tree in no 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 the solution from reaching the root zone. Please refer to the Table Chart on page 33 of the product label for the target pest.
There is no wait time to plant grass seed after applying Dominion 2L.
Dominion 2L is not labeled for a perimeter spray for roaches or other insects except ants and then the listed termite treatments. You can use a gamma-cyhalothrin spray for perimeter roach control, or you could use a combination product such as Temprid FX. Temprid has beta-cyfluthrin and imidacloprid already formulated together, and this is an excellent perimeter spray.
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.
Per Dominion 2L's product label, applications cannot exceed a total of 1.6 pints (0.4 lb of active ingredient) per acre per year.
Yes, Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate can be applied to Boxwoods for leafminers.

Our most popular choices for these are Talstar P (topical spray, water-based concentrate- use 1 oz per gallon of water) and Dominion 2L (systemic, applied as a root drench; use 0.2 oz per inch of trunk diameter for trees or per foot of shrub height for bushes).
