Customer Reviews for Dominion 2L Termiticide

I had a major infestation of flying drone termites in my house. I trenched around my entire house 6-8" down and 4-5" away from foundation where I could and drilled a 1/2" hole 18" deep at the stoop and driveway every 10" and applied Dominion 2L at the rate shown for heavy infestation. I still had them in my house 5 days later though not as bad. I then went to the basement and exposed the exterior framing at the foundation and proceed to spray the BoraCare. 1/2 way through this process I found huge piles of dirt and trails a plenty underneath my front door. At this time I saturated the wood using the Dominion 2L. It is now over a week since then (2 weeks since treating outside) and I am still finding one or two termite upstairs everyday.

  Expert response:
Dominion 2L is a non-repellent termiticide, meaning it does not kill the termites right away.  The product is a delayed kill so the termites above the ground have time to take the product back to the colony and the queen that is below ground.  This ensures that the colony is completely eliminated.  For this reason Dominion 2L and all other non-repellents including Termidor, take up to 90 days to kill a termite colony.  So it is normal to see activity for up to 90 days after treating your home.

I bough this product to treat my ash trees but no instruction how to treat ash trees for emerald ash bores.

  Expert response:
For systemic treatment, apply Dominion 2L as soil drench at a rate of 0.1 - 0.2 ounces per inch of trunk diameter. Apply uniformly as a drench around the base of the tree in not 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 solution from reaching the root zone. You should also contact your local Cooperative Extension office to see what active ingredient is most successful for treating this pest in your area.

I had little bitty brown ants that were eating my vinyl sided garage door. I used the void between the driveway and the garage floor to pour the solution into the ground and luckily found their main nest was in a crack in the cement which I also saturated with the solution. Although this was time consuming (4 gallons every ten feet), it was well worth the effort to save the cost of an exterminator. Within a week, I had so many dead ants that I used my leaf vacuum to remove them and a week later had more dead ants to remove. Now there is no further evidence of ants destroying my garage door. I gradually did the entire exterior of my home. I would recommend purchasing this product.
