    Q
    How often should I drench for whitefly when using Dominion 2L?
    I have several triple cluster Christmas Palms infested with whitefly. I read the suggestions on drenching with Dominion 2L, but how frequently should I drench? I don't want to use too much and hurt the plant or too little and not get rid of the bugs
    A
    According to the manufacturer the product should last in the plants you treat for the season up to 1 year, so 1 application per year should be all you need. As long as you follow the application directions on the product label you will get rid of the whiteflies and the Dominion is designed to be absorbed into the tree without harming it. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    Will Dominion applied systemically harm the bees in my yard?
    There are flowering plants in the same flower bed as a redbud tree treated systemically with Dominion. After reading about it, I am now concerned about it harming the bees. Should I dig up the plants and put them elsewhere? What is the life of Dominion in the soil? The arborist treated an oak tree and two redbuds systemically. The arborist treating all this wants to treat all my other trees with it, despite the fact that there are flowering crape myrtles and active bees. He told me it is safe. I am now very concerned.
    A
    We contacted the manufacturer of the Dominion 2L to verifiy if our suspicions were correct. The Dominion would harm the bees if the Dominion were applied topically as a foliar spray and they came into direct contact with that surface. A systemic application of the Dominion would not harm the bees as it would only bee absorbed by the types of insects that actually feed on the tree down past a certain level of the trees outer layers. You would not need to transplant any of your plants or flowers as this would not affect the bees or the pollen the plants produce. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    Will Dominion2L work on spider mites as a ground drench?
    A
    Dominion will not cover spider mites no matter which way you use it. A better option would be a foliar spray with something like Talstar which is a general insecticide which works well on a variety of mites; or you could go with Avid which is purely a miticide which will cover spider mites and a large variety of other mites specifically. Make sure to follow the product labels and reapply as it state for heavy infestations. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    How do I treat for protection against termites with Dominion 21?
    I have a brick house on a slab. We are due for our house to be resprayed for termites and was wondering how we go about drilling the holes in our brick? How far up the wall and how far apart we put the holes? Also how much spray do we need to put in the holes? Our house is 35' by 70'. Living space is around 1800 sq ft. Also, do we need to spray in the attic and inside the house with this? How often do we need to do this, and is Dominion 21 the right stuff we need to use? We also have Bifen I/T if it would be better. Thanks for any help. Marcia
    A
    You would not have to drill into the holes into the side of the brick of your home. Trenching around the home is the proper treatment method and you would only drill across concrete barriers like garages or porches where you couldn't trench. You can see how to trench your home with Dominion both in our article How To Do A Termite Treatment and also in our instructional video on the product page How To Do a Termite Treatment with Dominion. If you have additional questions feel free to call us and we can better go over the specifics of your home and how to treat best.

  • Asked by Lb from Caldwell, Tx
    07/21/2013
    Q
    Can a surfactant be used with Dominion 2L to treat termites in Oak trees via trench to help absorption?
    If so which one do you recommend?
    A
    We do not recommend using a surfactant with Dominion to treat for termites. The surfactant would take away from the non repellancy of the Dominion. If you have termites in a tree you would need to treat the nest directly by drilling holes into the dead parts of the tree where the colony is infested. The part where the termites are residing is dead and may not absorb the product as if it were taking in nutrients properly the section of the tree wouldn't be dead. Direct treatment is best for that reason, and also because the dominion as a drench would take several weeks to fully translocate through the entire tree. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    Where to apply Dominion 2L as a drench?
    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
    A
    You can apply Dominion 2L as a drench any where between the base and drip line of the tree. You want to make sure that  you keep the soil moist for up to 7 days after applicaiton to ensure the product will be more quickly soaked into the root system. We do not recommend Injecting Dominion into the live tree. Please follow the product label for instructions.

  • Asked by Susan from Acworth, Ga

    Q
    I noticed subterranean termites tubes in my garage.
    I started poking the wood (all of it) and found a small area in the garage that was infested which I will have replaced. Unfortunately I didn't research before spraying with Spectracide Termite and carpenter ant killer from HD so they probably moved location. Since researching I have found that the 6"x6" trench with 4 gallons of Termidor per 10 linear feet of trench is the solution. I do not want to pay the pros for this so I would like to do this myself. After reading the labels it looks like a 4 ft. trench is required for the sides of the house that have a basement. Since the basement is not finished and I have access to all the beams can I just spray the wood with Dominion 2L or something else? I found the termite gallery outside of the garage which is the part of the house that is on a slab and no other mud tubes outside or in basement so can I get away with a 6"x 6" trench all the way around? I am a 50 year old 120 lb. Woman and do not mind hard work, but 4 feet deep is a little much. I looked at Boracide, but it seems like this is for drywood termites. I had the house treated by pros in the past so the basement has plugged holes. I checked the wood in the basement and did not find any activity? If there is nothing I can apply directly to the wood can I drill through the plugs and inject Termidor using a hand pump then re-plug the holes (I would rather not have to do this)? Thank you for your help.
    A
    You do not have to dig the trench 4 feet deep.  You should do a 6 inch wide x 6 inch deep trench around the entire house, everywhere the ground comes up to the structure and apply at 4 gallons per 10 lineal feet.  Inside the garage where you have had activity, you should treat that area directly by drilling holes into the infested wood and injecting the Termidor or Dominion 2L product directly.  These 2 treatment options should take care of your issue.  Just keep in mind that Termidor or Dominion are not wood treatment products, so they will not protect the wood long term like they do when they are in the ground.  However, if they touch live termites in the wall or in the wood, the termites will take the product back to the colony as it was intended.

    Q
    Can you mix Dominion 2L paints and stains? Will it be effective?
    A
    Dominion 2L cannot be mixed into paints or stains. Dominion 2L can only be mixed with water and is used for soil treatments. The only wood protectant that we carry to prevent boring insects and fungus is Boracare. Boracare should be mixed with water and applied to bare wood. After  the treatment has dried you can paint, stain or seal the wood as needed.

    Q
    Used Dominion 2L exactly per label for trenching and I still have ant hills????
    Questions on Dominion 2L?? The ants are building more anthills on either side of my treated area, and even right on top of it. Does it work right away? It's been over a week. The fluid was milky / chalky and I diluted, dug, sprayed and poured exactly per your video and per the label. These are red and black soil ants. It was applied as a termite barrier but I thought it would also kill the ants. If the ants are thriving I don't think it is effective on the termites. Does it take a long time to work? Thank you for any advice you can provide.

    Q
    Does dominion work on wasps?
    I use termidor to treat wasp nests that are in wall voids, when i cant get to the nest and need a slower acting pesticide to let the wasp spread it to each other. would i be able to use this product instead?
    A
    The Termidor is a great product to use for direct treating a nest in wall void and of our non-repellant delayed kill products it is actually your most cost effective. Dominion is not labeled to control wasps or any flying/stinging insect so we could not recommend it for use as we are unsure if it would work for your needs. Another option would be what we normally recommend to all of our customers which is applying a dust like Tempo 1% Dust into the hole they are entering and leaving through. The dust will not kill them instantly and will get picked up on their bodies and wings and transfered through the nest to eliminate it entirely.

    Q
    Dominion 2L and birds
    We will be treating one of our trees with D 2L which we purchased from you. What if any impact will this have on the birds that might be eating The insects on the tree? Specifically, what about Humming Birds that inhabit and feed in the tree n question...
    A
    The Dominion 2L should have no effect on the birds that eat the insects. Once the product has dried, the level of poison on the surface is only enough to kill something the size of an insect so no secondary poisoning should occur. If you are worried about hummingbirds ingesting the poison from the nectar of the blooms, there again should be no effect once it has dried. To get a better understanding on how this product works and the effects if any it would have on birds or anything larger than an insect, you can contact Control Solutions at (281) 892-2500.

    Q
    Concerning Dominion 2L - I understand that it is a great product and than you for your equally great prices!
    Concerning Dominion 2L, my neighbors have had termite problems --- but knock on wood, I don't. But it is only a matter of time until they find my house. I want to be sure to keep my house termite-free. I never put mulch near the house --- I only have bare soil next to my house. Dominion 2L will absorb into the soil and rain will eventually wash it further down into the soil just like with any other chemical. Here is my point and my question: I was thinking of mixing as your video suggests and then pouring it on the top layer of soil instead of the hard work of digging a trench all around the house. Over the coming cooler months of late Autumn and then followed by the Winter months and then well before the next termite season arrives in the Spring, the product will most certainly be well absorbed and washed into the soil surrounding my house. In other words, there is plenty of time for the product to get washed deep-enough into the soil before the next termite season arrives. I know that might not exactly be the preferred methodology but it would sure be better for my aching back. Do you see any noticeable problems?
    A
    We do not recommend only treating the top layer of soil with Dominion 2L for termite treatments. Insects that crawl on top of the soil will be the only ones that will come into contact with the treated areas. Termites live beneath the soil and that is why the trenching method is the preferred treatment application for adaquate coverage. We understand that it is a labor intensive job and that is why the labor costs for professionals is pricey for some homeowners.

    I use this for carpenter ant control - can I use to get rid of stink bugs?
    A

    The Dominion 2L is not labeled to treat for stink bugs and we would not recommend using for this pest.  We have put together an Overwintering kit that is just for stink bugs. This kit includes Demon WP insecticide with Cypermethrin, Eco PCO dust and a hand duster for easy application. You should treat once a month through November for best results

  • Asked by Nelson from Ft Lauderdale, Fl
    10/12/2013
    Q
    My neighbor recommended Dominion 2L, but in the crystal form to treat white flies. Do you have the crystals?
    She told me that it would treat white flies in my palm trees and in my ficus trees, but to fertilize at the same time. What do you think? Please let me know.
    A

    Dominion 2L is not in the form of crystals, it is a liquid concentrate. It is is labeled for white flies as a systemic control. It is not a fertilizer. We recommend for white fly control that you measure the height of shrubs and diameter of the trees and apply the solution as a soil drench. You can apply Talstar P for a foliar spray (on not edible trees and shrubs) while the systemic control is working for immediate control.
