Dominion 2L Termiticide does not list mango trees as a tolerant fruit tree acceptable for application. Dominion 2L can be used to treat grubs in the lawn areas outside the canopy/drip line of the mango tree as if the application is abosorbed through the root zone, the fruit would unable to be harvested for year.
We would generally recommend Milky Spore Powder for treating grubs in lawns, ornamentals, around edibles, fruit, nut trees however this product is restricted to be shipped to the State of Florida.
Please review our How to Get Rid of Grubs for more information on eliminating this pest.
Earthworms have a protective mucous on their bodies that helps protect them from pesticides and they live well below the surface of the soil and pesticides cannot penetrate that far down to be effective. The active ingredient in Dominion 2L Termiticide Imidacloprid only has been shown to have acute toxicity to earthworms. In no case did a long term effect on earthworm populations occur, so this product will not harm the earthworms on your property.
Since the Dominion 2L Termiticide has a long soil residual, we do not recommend using this product within at least 25 feet of a body of water such as pond, lake, stream, etc. You should not apply this product where the water table is very shallow or to soil that is too saturated to accept the product. Also avoid areas where runoff can occur and displace the treated soil.
Dominion 2L Termiticide is not labeled for use indoors except to spot treat where there are live termite infestations. The Perimeter Pest instructions are for outdoor use only.
We recommend that you consult with your local agricultural department to see what they recommend for use in livestock pastures for cutter ants. Dominion 2L Termiticide cannot be used in pastures for cutter ants and It does not look like there is much on the market for this use.
The Dominion 2L can be used as a systemic application to roses and other plants for thrips and it would do a great job. If you have a heavy population of them though, you may find that you need to do a foliar application to the buds while the systemic makes its way through the plant to eliminate them and protect them for the rest of the season. Products like Talstar P are often used in this instance to spray where they are currently damaging the plants and provide residual control for a month or so on the surface. If you use the Dominion, you would apply at the rate of 0.2-0.4 oz per foot of shrub height in roughly 1-2 gallons of water based on your rose bush size.
Dominion 2L Termiticide is not specifically labeled for Eastern White Pine Weevils only annual bluegrass weevils and black vine weevils. Bifen IT is labeled for "weevils" in general and the active ingredient Bifenthrin is known to be effective for white pine weevils. It is important when using a foliar application that treatments start when adult weevils first start to appear in spring, usually around mid-April. At this time, Bifenthrinseemstobetheonlyactiveingredientavailabletohomeownersforwhitepineweevilcontrol. We also suggest you contact your local cooperative extension office for more tips on the best treatment time in your specific area.
Simply pouring a termiticide such as Dominion 2L around the foundation will not provide ample protection from termites. There is no guarantee how deep the product will absorb into the ground, and you need a termiticide at least 6 inches deep for termite protection. Another option would be to create holes using a rod or dowel that is at least 6-12 inches deep every 12 - 18 inches, then you would still be appling 4 gallons of solution per 10 feet by pouring the product evenly into each hole.
Otherwise, bait stations such as the Advance Termite Bait Stations are placed 2-4 feet out from the structure, outside the dripline of the roof.
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. For a tree measuring 187” in diameter, the rate of Dominion 2L needed would would come to 18.7 to 37.4 fl oz for soil drenching. The minimum amount of water recommended for trees is 16 oz of water per inch of trunk diameter but can use more if needed. Based on the product label recommendation of 16 oz of water per inch of trunk diameter for trees, a minimum of 23 gallons of water would be needed. Keep in mind, water simply acts as a carrier and it is important that even distribution of the product is achieved.
After the soil drench has been applied you should water it in with at east 1/2 inch of water. 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.
Please review the product label for more information.

Night crawlers is in the same family of earthwroms which are known to be mostly beneficial creatures. There is not a product on the market labeled for earthworms (night crawlers) Since Dominion 2L Termiticide has not been tested on Night Crawlers, we cannot say that they would help in eradicating them.

Due to the high water table and potential for regular flooding in the state of Louisiana, most of the soil termiticides such as Dominion 2L are not for use in the soil in that state. This means only unique and safer formulations that wont get into the water are allowed, or bait stations in instances where liquids are not the preferred option. The two main termiticides that are not restricted to soil use in Louisana are Altriset and Phantom. Altriset is what most customers use due to its newer formulation and safety for the environment, along with its great termite control abilities. If you feel trenching is not going to be what you would like to do, we do carry Termite Bait Stations as a great alternative home protection option. The guide linked here is extremely helpful and goes through step by step instructions as well as "How to" videos for both treating with a liquid termiticide as well as installing bait stations.
Live Trapping and eliminating the food source are both good methods to eradicating Armadillos and other turf insect predators from your lawn.

Depending on your region, grub egg hatch is typically from late July throught late August.
