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. -
Asked by Dennis04/26/2011QCan you treat half of a house at a time for termites?A
Absolutely. You do not have to treat the entire house at once. Many of our customers treat one side of the house one week, and then another the following week, and so on. Termiticides last for 7 to 10 years in the ground, so if you take a month or so to do a full treatment, it is n…

Termiticides last for 7 to 10 years in the ground, so if you take a month or so to do a full treatment, it is no big deal. The most important thing is to overlap and make sure that you do not miss any areas. -

Read Full Answer »Treatments should begin in May or June and should be done every year to protect trees from the emerald Ash Borers. Most people use a 5 gallon bucket or a large watering can to apply Dominion as a soil drench. You will need 0.1 to 0.2 fl. oz. (3 to 6 mL) of Dominion 2L per inch of trunk diameter for trees. It is recommended that you use the higher rate for boring beetles. 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 inch of trunk diameter for trees. 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 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 10-14 days after applications to encourage uptake. -

Read Full Answer »Dominion 2L is labeled for adelgids and will be able to help with hemlock wooly adelgid infestations. Because hemlocks are shallow rooted, a soil drench with Dominion can be effective. Whatever method is being used to make a soil drench, whether using power equipment, a bucket or watering can, it is important to make sure the application is evenly distributed and does not run off. Soil treatments should be made when the soil is moist. Fall to early winter and spring to early summer are recommended periods for making soil applications for the HWA. It can take 2-3 months for imidacloprid products to be translocated through trees that are about 15 inches in diameter. This process may be faster or slower, depending upon the size and health of the hemlock and other environmental conditions during and after the application. It is advisable to make soil applications of imidacloprid products to hemlocks before they become heavily infested and stressed by the HWA— to ensure good translocation through the tree. -
Asked by Rick04/20/2011QWe had a termite swarm in our dining room. I plan to treat around the perimeter of the house as you suggest.
I found tunnels from the edge of the concrete slab in the garage up to the sill plate that abuts the dining room. I'm sure I have termites in the wall between the garage and dining room. However, there are no droppings, holes or other evidence to point to exactly where the termites are inside the wall. Should I mix Dominion or Bora-Care with a foaming agent, drill holes into each joist space and spray into these spaces? If so, how much spray? Top and bottom of the joist space? Every six to twelve inches? Thanks.AIf you found the tunnels then you know exactly where the termites are. The colony is under the slab of the garage and the termites that are in the wall use the tunnel you found to back and forth between the wood they are eating and the colony below the slab.

Read Full Answer »If you found the tunnels then you know exactly where the termites are. The colony is under the slab of the garage and the termites that are in the wall use the tunnel you found to back and forth between the wood they are eating and the colony below the slab. To properly treat this area you should drill holes through the garage slab so you can get the Dominion directly in the soil where the termite tube is going. How to do this is explained in our How To Do A Termite Treatment Article, 5th paragraph down explains how to drill that wall in your garage. You can also drill a hole above the baseboard into the Sheetrock where the termite tunnel is going into the wall and just spray in the void with Dominion. You do not need to buy a foamer and foaming agent, etc....spraying will be fine. If you have any further questions please feel free to call us at 866-581-7378. -

Read Full Answer »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. -

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. We also recommend using a product with an active ingredient that is different than the soil drench for a foliage application while you are waiting for the Dominion to translocate through the ficus. Talstar P is the most popular choice for foliage application on ficus for white fly.
