    Q
    Would it hurt to treat with Talstar P after a perimeter drench with Dominion 2L?
    A

    We normally would not recommend to apply Talstar P over the same area a Dominion drench has been applied. It could cause the Dominion to pick up some repellency. Now, if you are only looking to apply a foliar spray to a tree or shrub you drenched with Dominion that would be just fine as long as that plant is non-edible.

    Q
    How do i use Dominion for indoor potting soil drench?
    I have been using Bonide house plant granules (0.22% imidacloprid) in the soil of 2 large jade trees and other smaller pots in my sunroom to combat mealy bugs systemically. The Bonide label specifies how much product to use based on the diameter of each pot. Now that summer is here I can take the plants outside to spray them. As a foliar spray specifically for houseplants, the Dominion 2L label recommends 45ml/100gal which works out to be about 2.5ml or ½ teaspoon per gallon. That’s easy enough as a foliar spray but I want to drench the soil in each pot so the plants can continue to take up the imidacloprid through their roots. Since I have Dominion 2L, I’d prefer to use a liquid solution instead of using the Bonide granules in each pot. Question: Given that the label states Dominion 2L can be used as a foliar spray for indoor plants, do you see any problem with using it in the potting soil of indoor plants as well (like the Bonide granules)? The Dominion 2L label recommends a soil drench of 3ml-6ml per inch of tree trunk diameter mixed with enough water to deliver that amount of imidacloprid evenly. The label is referring to outdoor use but I’m wondering if that translates to indoor trees as well. For example, my indoor jade trees have trunks with 6” circumferences (1.91” diameters). To me, that means each jade tree that size would need 6ml-11ml of imidacloprid in their potting soil. I’d probably use 1½ teaspoons (7½ ml) Dominion 2L in a gallon of water for each jade. Question: Do you agree? But, what solution would I use for my smaller potted plans that don’t necessarily have trunks to measure? I don’t see anything on the label about a potting soil drench for indoor plants; the soil drench solutions for outdoor perimeter use (termites, ants etc.) are way too potent I believe. Question: Do you think it would be effective to use the foliar spray solution (1/2 teaspoon/gallon) on the leaves and then drench the soil with the same? I’m not convinced of this idea. It seems that the amount of water the product is delivered in is not as important as the specific amount of imidacloprid delivered per size of plant (or pot). Thanks for your help when you have time.

    You are pretty much spot on, on most of your calculations. There shouldnt be any problem using the Dominion 2L in the soil of the potted plants in a drench method. The amount you calculated for the jade tree is correct for the drenching of its roots. For plants that do not have a trunk circumferance large enough to really matter, treat the plant as a shrub and go by heighth to determine the correct amount of solution to use per foot of shrub height. The .6 ounces is foliar dilution only so it wouldnt be the best option to just use automatically if the plant is smaller and calls for less. Also, you are absolutely CORRECT in that the water acts as the carrier of the product so making sure the amount per plant is right is the biggest key. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

    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. 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. - See more at: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/dominion-2l-termiticide-concentrate-p-1223.html?keywords=drench&search_for=questions#questions

    Q
    When to apply Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate for pecan tree drench?
    A

    When using Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate for a soil drench, you typically start drenching about 12 inches from the base of the tree and out to the drip line. In Texas, you will apply this product as a soil drench before the pollen has shed around mid April. You can contact your local cooperative extension for specific timing.

    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
    Can I spray Dominion 2L directly on my lemon and lime trees?
    They're just starting to bear fruit. 2OZ per gall
    A

    Dominion 2L should not be used on any citrus fruits such as lemon or lime. You can use Monterey Fruit Tree and Vegetable Systemic Soil Drench as a systemic treatment for lemon, lime, and other listed fruit trees.

    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
    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.
