    Q
    Will Dominion 2L work as a drench treatment against mealy bugs ?
    I have several large live oak trees that have become infested with mealy bugs. Is this product effective as a drench systemic treatment for this problem ?
    A
    Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate can be used to treat for mealy bugs. The label states to use 1.5 fl oz Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate per 100 gallons of water as a foliar spray not a systemic. This would break down to approx. .015 fl oz Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate into 1 gallon water.

    Q
    Do I need to trench and treat in the crawlspace with Dominion 2L?
    We have a tri level. We did the trench job around house and found some termites in crawl space...Should I trench crawl space as well? I sprayed the ones I saw asap....
    A
    In most cases you must trench and treat the interior of the crawl space wall and each pier that comes into contact with the ground for a complete barrier treatment.

    Q
    Which product combines effective control of termites outdoors at the most economical cost?
    A
    Dominion2L would be a great product choice (economical) to treat for subterranean termites. If a colony moves in, this product will eradicate them by transfer kill. You would want to dig a 6in x 6in trench around the structure. By applying the product in the trench, you will be protected from subterranean termites for up to 7 years.

    Q
    I purchased termidor for a trench around our house. And dominion as agree drench. Will close proximity work?
    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?
    A

    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.

    Termites do not normally attack live, healthy trees so you most likely will not find any products that will work as a ground barrier around the trees.  Most people are primarily concerned with protecting the big investment, their home, and Termidor would be the best product to use for that, as it last 10 years in the soil, whereas Dominion will only last 5-7 years.  It is only labeled to be used adjacent to the structure though.

  • Asked by Trisha from Lake Charles, Louisiana
    11/08/2013
    Q
    Termites are in fallen branches near our trees. Can I apply D2L directly to the termites to control a colony
    A
    If you just spray the area you would have to reapply every 6 months and termites might not even come in contact with the solution, because it is not in the ground where they are. You can wipe out an entire colony best when you dig a trench and apply Dominion 2L in the soil as a trench treatment for many reasons. One, by applying the Dominion into the soil, you are allowing the product to bind and stay put for up to 7 years. Two, the depth of the trench ensures that the termites will come in contact with it. You can just spray the branches and you may wipe out the colony, but it would be a better guarantee if you did a more thorough treament by pouring some into the soil around the branches.

    Q
    Will Atrazine control white flies as well as Dominion 2L ?
    Is Atrazine a systemic pesticide ?

    Atrazine is an herbicide, so it kills weeds and not insects. For white flies, Dominion 2L is a great choice as well as Adonis 2F.

  • Asked by Alvin from Miami, Florida
    11/18/2013
    Q
    I want to use Dominion 2L for white flies on plants on the porch. How much should go in 1 gallon of water?
    I plan to apply 6-8 ounces of solution three times a month.
    A
    It is important to be sure you are following the instructions on the product label for usage amounts allowed per acre per year.  When treating for white flies as a soil drench Dominion only needs to be applied twice a year.
    You will need 0.1 to 0.2 fl. oz. (3 to 6 mL) of Dominion per foot of shrub height or 0.1 to 0.2 fl oz per inch of trunk diameter for trees. 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.

    Q
    I have recently noticed my home has some spots infested with termites in my attic. I'm not sure which type they are but I want these things gone. Would I be better off with the Dominion 2L or Termidor SC? Thanks in advance for your help.
    A
    Subterranean termites and dry wood termites are two very different insects that require two very different treatments. We recommend that you get your termite infestation identified before you select a treatment method to be sure you are choosing the proper treatment method. Here two articles that can help you learn the differences between the two types of termites: Drywood Termites or Subterranean Termites. If you are still unsure after reading the articles you can always call in a professional company. Almost all termite companies will offer a free inspection and they will tell you what type of termites you are dealing with and how they recommend treating for the. At that point you can choose to hire them or do it your self. Termidor SC is the top termite product on the market. Termidor SC is completely undetectable by termites and once termites touch it they contact, ingest and spread the termiticide until it eliminates the entire colony. Termidor SC controls all types of termites including Subterranean, Formosan, and Drywood termites though the application method will be different for each type of termite. Bora-Care is the product we would recommend for treating the wood in the attic if you have drywood termites. We offer fast, free shipping. Please let us know if you need anything else. 866.581.7378

    Q
    How do you use Dominion 2L as a soil drench?
    I have several trees with different tree trunk diameters. I like to know how best to mix Dominion with water for each tree application. Example, one tree is 5 inches in diameter and an other 102 inches in diameter 1. what is the mix rate of Dominion and water per tree? 2. do you apply with a watering can for an even distribution? 3. Where do you apply, at the base of the tree or at the line of foliage? 4. What t matter if there is grass or other plants in the area? 5.Do I have to moist the ground before application and maintain moist thereafter?
    A
    You will need 0.1 to 0.2 fl oz of Dominion 2L per inch of trunk diameter for trees at the base of the tree inside in the drip line. 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 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.

    Q
    Can dominion 2L be used under 6"x6" cedar timbers used for raised bed home vegetable garden?
    Can the cedar timbers be treated before they are placed on the ground?
    A
    If you are trying to prevent termites from getting into the wood you can certainly treat the soil beneath them with the Dominion 2L. Dominion would not be a product to treat the wood with as it would not last more than a few months. You would want to treat the wood with Boracare which will actually soak into the wood rather than just sit on top of the surface and will protect the wood as a whole. Once dried you would want to seal the timbers to make sure the Boracare stays in the wood over time. If sealed, the Boracare will last for the life of the wood protecting it, and once the wood has dried, it is safe to use as you intend.

    Q
    After applying Dominion 2L, is it ok use spray solution annually? We have had damage from mites.
    Just want to make sure we have cured the problem, is using to much an issue?
    A
    Dominion 2L is not labeled to treat mites. It can be applied in the soil against the foundation for a subterranean termite treatment or sprayed (1 ft up and 1 ft out) directly against the structure topically (once every six months) for insects that travel on top of the soil. It should not be kept in the sprayer more than 24 hours after it is mixed. You should not spray too much or too often. For more information on ways to treat mites, please refer to our Mite Control Page. If you have any questions, please contact us at 866.581.7378.

  • Asked by D. from Sylvania,ohio
    12/31/2013
    Q
    Can you use Dominion 2L for outside spider control? I have been using Talstar & we are getting call backs.
    What do think, as we like the price of Talstar but time for a change.
    A
    Dominion would not be recommended for spider control as you are limited in where you can spray it. A much better option would be something like Equil Lambda 9.7 which will still dry clear like the Talstar, but will hold up to the outdoor elements longer. It also sits on top of the surface better to help give better control of the insects passing by that are harder to kill like spiders. Please keep in mind that you have to treat a wider area than just the foundation of the home to eliminate the spider population, and that it takes time to knock them back to a tolerable level. The main part of your spider elimination will be eliminating all the other insects in the area they are feeding on; the more food sources around the home, the more spiders you will see as this is prime feeding ground. It normally takes spraying once every 1-2 months for a couple of treatments in the beginning to get the problem pushed back enough to be able to back off to every 3 months with your sprays.

    Q
    I bought Dominion 2L to treat for ants entering my home. What is the mix ratio?
    I think they told me to mix 2oz. per gallon of water in a hand sprayer and spray 2 feet up the out side wall and a band 2 feet wide on the ground,is that correct. Thank you.
    A
    For outdoor topical ant treatment applying Dominion 2L, the mix should be 0.6 fluid ounces per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. You should only apply one foot up and one foot out directly around the structure. Please let us know if you need anything else.

    Q
    I am concerned about Dominion 2L, which was "pumped into" the soil of a large oak tree in my back yard.
    It was used to control borers. It was used in the front yard on two red bud trees for the same purpose. I have talked to other tree specialists who said that Dominion 2L was a strange product to use for this. I am concerned that it may remain in the soil and affect my quality of life. There is a stream under my property and I live relatively close to a lake. I am building a swimming pool in the area of the large oak tree. All the bees in my yard disappeared after the Dominion was applied. What Texas entity can test the soil for me? If this was not the correct product to apply, who can I report the alleged tree specialist to?
    A

    We cannot comment on any work performed on your property by any professional. We recommend that you contact the manufacturer of Dominion 2L for additional information. They can be reached at 281.892.2500 (Control Solutions).

    Q
    Whitefly in ficus
    I've done a root drench and also sprayed the hedges at the 1.5oz to 100 gallon rate about 10 days ago and then another round a couple days ago and it seems that the whitefly numbers are actually increasing. There are clouds of whiteflies above the shrubs where previously there were not. The root drench was at a higher rate as recommended on the label. I'm concerned that this product does not work as indicated.
    A
    Please be advised that it can take 8 weeks a systemic product to be translocated throughout the plant.  If you are trying to treat an active infestation, doing a foliar spray with a product like Talstar P is the better option because it will help to kill anything that you spray directly and will leave a residual of up to 30 days.  Please be advised that the instructions on the product label should always be followed.  Mixing a product stronger or applying more often than stated does not make it any stronger or help it to be absorbed quicker.

    Q
    Can Dominion be be used as perimeter treatment for fire ants
    Can Dominion be used as a perimeter treatment for fire ants. If so what is the mixing rate.
    A
    Dominion 2L does kill ants. The product is specifically designed to be a non-repellent which means the ants will not be able to tell that it is there and will readily walk through treated areas. The product is also designed to have a delayed reaction kill which allows the ants to get back to the colony and spread the insecticide to the other ants before they start to feel the effect of the product. You should see the full effect of using Dominion 2L within 1-3 weeks when you are using as recommended on the product label. The mixing rate is .6 fl oz Dominion to 1 gallon water.

    Q
    Can Dominon 2l be used effectively on a pre treatment under a garage concrete slab
    A
    Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate can be used for a pre-treat application if you have nothing larger to use.  Some of our customers 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.
