Dominion 2L Termiticide does kill ants but the product label doesn't list cutter 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.
When using Dominion 2L Termiticide as a soil drench for pine bark beetles you should use 0.2 fl. oz. (3 to 6 mL) of Dominion 2L per inch of trunk diameter (D.B.H.) diluted in 1 pint - 1 gallon of water per inch of trunk diameter. 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 but you may use 1 quart -1 gallon of water per inch of trunk diameter. Denser soils such as clay do not accept water as readily, so a lower volume of water is suggested. Since sandy soils can accept more water, using a higher volume of water is preferred. After the soil drench has been applied you should water it in with at least 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 trans-located 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 is applied at 0.1 to 0.2 fl oz per inch of trunk diameter for trees at the base of the tree inside the drip line. Apply uniformly around the base of the tree in no less than 10 gallons of water per 1000 square feet. Direct application to the root area. Even if the trees are close, as long as you are applying the correct rate per the diameter of each tree, with enough water, that is what matters. Please read the product label for complete application instructions.
For a pre-slab treatment at 0.1% solution, Dominion 2L Termiticide is mixed at 0.6 oz. per gallon of water (2.4 oz. per 4 gallons of water per 10 Lineal feet).
Dominion 2L is not labeled to treat scorpion. Please take a look at our scorpion control: https://www.domyown.com/scorpions-c-52.html
The water amount you mix the Dominion with is merely the carrier to get it where you need it- in the root zone underground.
You should measure the height of the shrub (the length is not calculated) which for you is 6 feet. 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.Dominion 2L Termiticide is mixed at 0.6 oz per gallon of water and will cover 1000 sq ft.
Dominion 2L Termiticide can be applied as directed to your crepe myrtle plants for listed plant sucking pests. Here is a great article on treating and prevention of Japanese Beetles for additional success.
Over-applying Dominion 2L Termiticide or any product can cause injury/death to your grass and plants/trees in some cases. For more information on this, we would recommend contacting the manufacturer directly at 800-242-5562.
For foliar applications, Dominion 2L Termiticide is mixed at 0.5 to 2 gallons of water. You will spray until wet but not dripping. The product label states that you should apply at the onset of high population so you are a little late but you will still get some control. We are located in GA.
The Dominion 2L is not labeled to treat for Boxelder bugs and we would not recommend using it for this pest. We have put together an Overwintering kit that is just for boxelder bugs. This kit includes Temprid FX Insecticide, Eco PCO dust and a hand duster for easy application. You should treat once a month through November for best results. Here is our guide on the Boxelder Bug for more useful information.
While imidacloprid products like Dominion 2L Termiticide have been recommended, they are not specifically labeled for Agave Weevils. Please contact your Cooperative Extension Office for further information on treatment.
Speaking logistically, a linear foot is 12 inches and is the unit of measurement used to account for the amount of space the freight occupies in one dimension, length. Cubic feet, on the other hand, account for the amount of space the freight takes up over three dimensions: length, height, and width.
Linear footage = (Square Footage x 12) / Width
Each 27.5 oz of Dominion 2L Termiticide will make 50 gallons of finished solution which will treat 120 lineal feet
Yes, Dominion 2L is a great choice for subterranean termites and has a reduced risk when used as directed on the product label. When using Dominion 2L for a soil drench you typically start drenching about 12 inches from the base of the tree and out to the drip line.
When using Dominion 2L Termiticide for borers, it is labeled to be applied as a soil injection which includes grid systems, circle systems, basal systems, and soil drench applications. This product cannot be injected into a tree for borers. Also, please keep in mind injecting product into a tree directly needs to be done by a trained specialist with the right equipment, otherwise more damage could be done to the tree. However, unfortunately there is no easy solution when it comes to pine beetles/borers. Infected trees should be cut down (before the newly hatched beetles fly out of the trees in the spring/summer) and the wood burned or chipped, while other still healthy trees should be sprayed annually to protect them. Because of the natural boring behavior of the beetle they are protected from topically applied insecticides and systemic insecticides (those injected into the tree or applied as a root drench) have proven ineffective for pine beetle infestations. Healthy trees can be protected before the beetles attack by topically spraying them with a product like Permethrin SFR 36.8% or Bifen XTS. The tree should be sprayed from the ground to 15 ft up the trunk to prevent future infestations. You should contact your local cooperative extension office to find out the best time to start spraying in your region.
The life of Dominion 2L Termiticide when drenched is about 12 months. If you spray the life of it on the leaves isn’t as long. It would be dissipated by the spring of the following year.
