    Q
    How does Dominion 2L compare to Termidor?
    A

    Dominion 2L and Termidor SC are both non-repellent termiticides. One of the features of a non-repellent is that the product is undetectable by pests--they walk over it and touch it without knowing it, and then they are able to transfer the product to each other eventually wiping out the entire colony of termites or ants. Termidor SC does have a slightly longer residual in the ground. Termidor lasts about 10 years in the ground, and Dominion 2L will last around 7 years. Dominion 2L is a much better deal money wise; you can make double the amount of solution for a little more than half of the price.

    Q
    Why is Dominion 2L not to be used against imported fire ants, harvester, or pharaoh ants?
    A
    Dominion 2L is not labeled to treat those ants because of a patent issue with another product. If these ants happen to be on the foundation when you apply the product, it will of course affect them as well. For patent issues though, the manufacturer of Dominion 2L cannot place those ants as a target pest on the label.

    Can Dominion 2L be used safely inside a home. If so, how long is the wait time for re-entry?
    A
    Dominion 2L is only labeled for outside use around your foundation for termites and carpenter ants. What pest are you having a problem with on the inside? We do carry many other products labeled for inside use depending on what your issue is.

    Q
    What can I use in Massachusetts to spray around the outside of my home to ward off carpenter ants?
    A

    Our most popular product for outdoor carpenter ant control is our Carpenter Ant Kit #2.  It comes with a product called Dominion 2L which is strictly for outside control of carpenter ants and is a phenomenal product.  The kit also comes with some bait to place in the structure if you ever have any issues inside.

    Q
    How many gallons of diluted Dominion 2L I should use per acre?
    I have purchased a bottle of Dominion 2L to use in place of Merit granules. I understand the mixing rates but was wondering how many gallons of mix I should use per acre? I was also wondering if I spray now to control ants and such, would I be able to spray again at the end of June to control grubs?
    A
    Dominion 2L is labeled for ants but not as a broadcast spray over a large area such as an acre.  For ant control it is recommended to apply around the house or around whatever structure you are trying to keep them out of.  Dominion is not labeled to treat fire ants or other nesting ants in your yard.  For Chinch bugs you would use one bottle per acre, or about 1 gallon of mixed solution per 1000 square feet.  It would be ok to treat now and then again later for grubs, but again it would not be recommended to treat the entire yard for both.

    Q
    I bought an old house that has plug holes around it, what is the best way to re-treat these holes?
    A
    I assume you are talking about drill holes in concrete for termite control.  These holes can be re-treated using Dominion 2L.  You should read our "How To Do A Termite Treatment" article which explains how to treat a home for termites including the drill holes.

    If I spray it around the exterior of my house what will it do to my plants & trees?
    A
    When used as directed on the product label, Dominion 2L will not harm your trees or plants. Dominion 2L is actually labeled to use directly on trees and other plants for control of plant infesting insects. Please read the product label to learn how to correctly use Dominion 2L on vegetation.

    Q
    Where can we buy chemical injector system to us with dominion 2l?
    A
    We recommend using a 5 gallon bucket or hand pump sprayers to apply Dominion 2L as a termite treatment around a home.  We do not feel it is worth it to buy a $2500 tank system for a one time treatment as a homeowner.  It is actually quite simple to apply the Dominion as a homeowner as outlined in our How To Do A Termite Treatment Article.

    Q
    Can Dominion 2L be used to kill lawn grubs?
    A
    Yes, Dominion 2L can be used for grubs. For best results, Dominion 2L should be applied prior to egg hatch and applications should be watered in. For more information on the best time to treat in your region, you should contact your local cooperative extension office and speak to the master gardener.

    Q
    I am out in southern Arizona, and we just had an inspection and we have couple of termite mud tubes.
    I am planning on buying the Dominion 2L product. My questions are as follows: 1. We have two cement patios/porches that are about 5-7' wide-- do I need to drill or can I just apply the Dominion on the perimeter? 2. The termite company said they were going to spray something into the walls, and they called it an HP Mister? Do I need to inject anything into the walls? The walls are insulated so I assume the foam products wouldn't work. Is this an unnecessary step or is it just another layer of added protection? 3. Will the termite bait stations work if one of the mud tubes is coming up between a sidewalk and the stem wall? Or do I need to treat that with the Dominion 2L? Thanks for your help!
    A

    Dominion 2L is a great product for termite control.  When treating slabs you are supposed to drill where the slab meets the house. The goal of any termite treatment is to completely surround your home around the perimeter of the foundation. To get the product against your foundation where you have a slab you should drill through the slab. If you decide to trench around the slab then you will be leaving this important area against the house exposed to termites. 

    I am not familiar with a HP Mister or what they could be placing in the wall.  Foam is not necessary if you can get to the termites under normal conditions.  

    Termite bait stations are just a secondary form of protection.  A Baiting System will no take care of any termites that have already found wood in your house.  They are a preventative treatment only and will only intercept new colonies in the ground coming towards your house.  The only way to eliminate termites already in your home is to treat them directly with a liquid treatment.  

    Please let us know if you have any further questions.  You should also read our "How To Do A Termite Treatment" article if you have not already.

    Q
    Can Dominion 2L be used indoors?
    I want to spray the expansion joints (where the concrete slab meets the wall) with Dominion 2L. Why is it not recommended for interior use? If not recommended, what could be sprayed?
    A
    Dominion 2L is not labeled for indoor use as a pest control spray meaning it is not permitted to apply to baseboards and out in the open.  We are not sure the exact reasons, but the manufacturer has placed this restriction on it.  However, you can use Dominion 2L indoors for termites.  You can spot treat inside for termites by treating inside wall voids or expansion joints since you are not spraying out in the open.

    07/10/2010
    Q
    Should I use Dominion 2L on indoor treatment?
    I found active mud tubes in the house and in the basement on exposed beams. How do I treat these? Do I pop them open and spray the Dominion 2L right on the bugs, or do I spray the exterior of the tube? If Dominion 2L is not suitable for this, what other product do you recommend?
    A

    You should definitely use Dominion 2L directly on the termites if you know where they are.  You would knock the tubes down and spray directly on the beam.  It also does not hurt to drill a hole into the beam and treat into the beam directly.  However, the bigger issue is that it sounds like you have subterranean termites which usually enter from around the outside perimeter of the home.  You can just spot treat the beam, but the more complete answer is to treat around the perimeter of your home completely.  This will serve two purposes.  If there are termites in other places around your home you do not know about yet, a full treatment should take care of them.  Also, if you treat around your entire home, the Dominion will last for 7 years in the soil which means you should be able to live termite free for the next 7 years.  You should read our "How To Do A Termite Treatment" article which explains exactly how you can do just as good, if not better of a treatment than a professional company.

    Q
    How long does a Dominion 2L application last, and is it as good as Termidor SC?
    A

    Dominion 2L is a non-repellent just like Termidor SC, but it has a different active ingredient. Dominion 2L will last about 7 years in the ground and Termidor SC will last for 10 years.  Other then the length of time in the ground, they are both applied the same way.  Dominion 2L is half the cost of Termidor SC and that is the main reason why it has been so popular.  Dominion 2L is our best seller for termite control as of late and our customers have been very pleased with the results.

    Q
    Can I spray Dominion 2L on the studs? The walls have termites.
    I knocked down those walls inside my bed room, and I found out there is termite activity. Can I use Dominion 2L to spray on the studs before I put the new drywall on? Please tell me what is the best product to kill and stop them from coming back.
    A
    Dominion 2L will not penetrate through wood. It can be used in the wall, but you have to get it directly on the termites in the wood. This means you have to drill a hole directly into the wood and treat the termites exactly where they are. After the Dominion 2L dries, it will not have any long term effect on the wood. There is a product we carry called Bora-Care that is a wood treatment product.  It will penetrate through the wood so you do not have to get it directly where the termites are. Also, it will stay in the wood forever and protect the wood long term.

    Q
    How do you get rid of termites inside the home?
    Someone already asked this, but the answer wasn't clear. The article "How To Do A Termite Treatment" only explained how to set a trench system, not how to get rid of termites in the home.
    A
    If you have termites in your home, you have to treat them directly with a liquid treatment. The termite baiting system is only meant to go into the ground around the perimeter of your house to prevent new colonies from entering your home.  If termites are already in your house then that means they have already found food. They will not leave your home to go to the termite stations.  If you have termites in your home, we recommend doing the liquid treatment as outlined in the "How To Do A Termite Treatment" article and then inside the home where you know you have the termites you will treat them directly by injecting the Dominion 2L into the wall or cutting a hole into the wall and spraying on the wood or however you can get the product to the termites. It only needs to touch a few termites to work.

    Q
    Is Dominion 2L effective if sprayed on brickwork above ground?
    In order to form a barrier around the house, does this product have to be sprayed on the ground or trenched?
    A
    For ant control, Dominion 2L can just be applied around the perimeter of the home and on the ground around the home since ants walk on top of the ground.  For termite control, you must dig a trench and treat into the ground as outlined in our "How To Do A Termite Treatment" article because termites enter the home from underground.

    Q
    Dominion 2L for new construction on concrete slab
    I am clearing a lot for a new house, and I will be pouring the foundation concrete slab (about 2,500 sq ft) soon. I'd like to apply Dominion 2L to the soil before pouring the slab. Can Dominion 2L be applied using a hose end sprayer? I'm looking at 250 gallons of mix at 1 gal per 10 sq ft and doing this task with a 2 gal garden hand sprayer is overwhelming. If a hose end spray application is okay, what special precautions or procedure should I use?
    A
    You could definitely use a hose end sprayer for a pre-treat application if you have nothing larger to use.  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.

    Q
    What termite baiting system should I use after applying Dominion 2L around my home?
    I put Dominion 2L around my house. What bait system would be best to use with it? If a bait system should not be used, what other precautions should I take?
    A
    Dominion 2L is a top of the line termite protection product.  However, the best protection anyone can do for  their home is a dual treatment, meaning liquid and bait.  You already performed the liquid treatment.  The best termite baiting system we sell and the most widely used baiting system by professional companies is the Advance Termite Baiting System.  Termite baiting systems show you where termites are around your home before they try to gain entry.  We have a video on the Advance baiting system page showing how easy it is to install.  As always, we are always here to answer any questions.
