    Q
    How much Dominion/gal for foliar application to evergreen bushes?
    A
    If you want to do a foliar application you will need to use about .45 ML per gallon of water. If you want to do a soil drench you will need 3 to 6 ml of Dominion 2L per inch of trunk diameter. You can use 1 pint - 1 gallon of water per inch of trunk diameter to mix the product in, depending on the water volume that is easiest for you to work with and can still be accepted by the soil. You can find more information on these treatments by reading the Dominion 2L product label starting on page 8.

    Q
    How does Dominion 2L compare to Talstar P for Red Carpenter ants?
    I bought Talstar from you and you have a great service. I sprayed once but still find Florida Red Carpenter ants outside. I did perimeters within perimeters to box them in. I looked for their trails and sprayed them. Did area at base of house all around as directed. Dominion 2L is non-repellant so maybe it is a better choice. Carpenter ants are so smart.
    A

    Talstar P will kill ants that come in contact with it, but will not eradicate them. Dominion 2L sprayed around the outside perimeter of the structure will. You should mix .6 fluid oz. per gallon of water to treat for carpenter ants. This will give you approximately 1000 sq. feet of treatment. Please see our Carpenter Ant Treatment Guide for more information and tips about treating for carpenter ants.

    Q
    Does Dominion 2L Termiticide kill ticks?
    How much does one mix per gallon of water as a systemic tree treatment? How often should both questions potential problems be treated for?
    A

    No, Dominion 2L is not labeled for ticks in your lawn.

    The mixing ratio for a systemic treatment on trees is 0.1 to 0.2 fl. oz. per inch of the trunk diameter. Be sure to use this in at least 5-10 gallons of water. The amount of product is what is important when treating with Dominion 2L.

    Q
    What is the application for whiteflies in potted plants with Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate?
    I have a small greenhouse with lots of 2 and 4 inch pots and want to use dominion for whiteflies. I don't know how far the roots space is for these small pots. How much do I use per gallon for these small pits since it's not big enough to use per foot of root space.
    A

    Dominion 2L is not labeled for use in containerized plants. We suggest Hi-Yield Systemic Insect Granules instead. That product can be used for containerized ornamental plants in home gardens.

  • Asked by Watson from Arizona

    Q
    My slab house was treated for termites five years ago. If I want to re-treat, would I drill next to previous holes or can I use the same holes?
    The concrete slab on the sides and back of the house were drilled in 2012 for termite treatment. Would I drill in previous spots or next to them ?
    A

    You would drill into the same location where the slab was previously treated and spray the termiticide into the holes. If you don't already have a product in mind to use, Dominion 2L is an economical product that will last for at least 7 years, and Taurus SC will last for at least 10 years.

    Q
    I used Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate at 1 oz per 1,000 sq ft by mistake. Will it harm my turf?

    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.

    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.

  • Asked by Anthony
    11/18/2010
    Q
    How do I treat my house with Dominion 2L?
    There is a deck in the back of my house therefore I cannot trench. The front of the house is cement and I cannot drill, but I am able to crawl inside under the house. Can I just spray dominion around the concrete block of my house and let it drip down to the soil, or can I just spray on the wood bolt to the concert block since I saw tunnel from the soil up the block to the wood?
    A
    Dominion 2L and all other termiticides have to go into the ground by digging a trench or by drilling holes.  Dominion 2L will not last on wood or concrete, so it does not good to just spray it on these surfaces.  Also, spraying on top of the soil does not work because termites do not walk on top of the ground, they enter a home from under the ground.  Are the boards in the back of your house running parallel to the house?  If so, you can remove two rows and trench and then replace them.  You should dig a trench in the crawl space and place the product in the trench and also trench and treat around the piers.  However, most termites enter the home from the outside perimeter, so you can very likely get termites from the outside if you do not do some sort of treatment outside.

    04/20/2011
    Q
    How do I apply Dominion 2L Termiticide in block foundation?
    Should each cinder block be drilled into each cavity (2 per block) or should be done every few blocks? Also once drilled how should Dominion 2L be used?
    A
    When treating a block foundation, you should drill a hole in each void so there would be 2 holes per block.  The holes should be no more than 18 inches high.  Usually you want to drill on the second row of blocks high from the ground.  In addition to drilling the holes you should also trench and treat the outside foundation wall and the inside foundation wall if you have a crawl space.  After drilling the holes, you are supposed to apply 2 gallons of solution per 10 lineal feet into the blocks.  For filling trenches and drill holes going vertically into slabs, you should apply 4 gallons per 10 lineal feet.  Please let us know if you have any further questions.

    Q
    Can I use Dominion 2L for tree & shrubs instead of Annual Tree insect control by Bonide?
    This product has the same active (Merit) like Bonide Annual Tree & shrub but higher concentration. From a price point of view, can I buy and use for shrubs to save on costs?
    A
    Absolutely. Dominion 2L contains the same active ingredient as the Bonide product that you mentioned and Dominion 2L is labeled to use as systemic insecticide. The directions for this type of use start on page 8 of the Dominion 2L Product Label.

    05/28/2011
    Q
    Can I use this as a topical flea/tick treatment and/or preventative on my dogs?
    In researching otc spot flea/tick preventatives for my dogs, I came across this product. I see that it contains the same ingredient, Imidacloprid, as K 9 Advantix. Purchasing those tiny pre-measured doses of K9 Advantix is VERY costly, so I thought I would see if I could buy a bottle of this and dispense 1mL/25lbs as directed on the Advantix. I have 3 sixty lb Boxers.
    A
    We can only recommend uses for a product that are allowed on the label.  Even though Dominion is the same active ingredient as what is in K9 Advantix, the label does not permit placing the products directly on your pets.  Therefore we cannot recommend that use of the product.

    Q
    How should I use Dominion to treat infested tree stumps?
    I've purchased a house, which has several old cedar stumps in the back yard. Three of the stumps are infested with termites. One has a large ant colony deep in the stump. They are not the black carpenter ant, but the smaller brownish ones (moisture ants?). I purchased Dominion 2L to apply around my house, but I would like to know how I can use it to treat the termites in tree stumps. Thanks for your help.
    A
    You need to get the Dominion into the ground, so you would typically want to drill holes in the tree stump, and around the tree stump into the ground, and then inject the Dominion inside those holes.  It will touch the ants and/or termites that are inside and underneath the stump and eliminate them completely.

    Q
    How to avoid paying annual maintenance fee after subterranean termite treatment?
    In 2008, I found subterranean termites in the basement. My house was only 12 years old! I had orange oil treatment done which was a major expense. They told me it should last about 7 years, but warranty was only 2 years. Their annual termite protection plan costs $450. One of the technicians left your flyer and that's how I found you! What should I do to keep my house, termite and other pests free from now on? I heard that my area (city, county) is TOTALLY infested with termites. I have an unfinished basement, two stories of living spaces(1900 sq), attic, and garage with finished walls.
    A
    If you really want to protect your home against subterranean termites, than you should do an in ground treatment with a non-repellent termiticide.  To do this, you should read our How To Do A Termite Treatment article which explains step by step how to treat your house as if a professional company would.  If you do this correctly, you should not need to re-treat for 7 years and you will not need to pay a company a yearly renewal fee.
