Customer Reviews for Dominion 2L Termiticide

Bought this originally as a systemic to control scale on my Canary Island Date palm. Found out that it is the same chemical used in some pet products to control ticks and fleas so I consider it somewhat pet safe to use around the house outdoors. After reading the label information I found out it also control Chinch bugs in the St Augustine grass here in Southwest Florida. Worked better than the dry bagged products sold in home centers.

The problem with underground insects are how hard they can be to kill 100%. I'm fighting off Root Aphids from a indoor nursery. I tried many other methods that only slowed them down a little temporarily. The first application is in the pots, and I have yet to see one of the little monsters crawling anywhere. It remains to be seen if this is only a set-back or a total kill, but I'm feeling very hopeful since this is the longest I've gone without seeing at least something alive.

I live in southeastern Pennsylvania, and this summer, for the first time, southern pine bark beetles (SPB) attacked and killed an eastern white pine in my back yard. Blame it on global warming. The SPB infested the tree in the early summer, and it was dead by August. It was probably dead sooner, but the tree didn't turn red until early August. There must have been 100,000 beetle larvae, pupae, and adults in the tree. I cut it down and removed the wood. The blue-stain fungus that the beetles carry was in the trunk. Now my worry was for the eleven other eastern white pines in my plantation. I knew that Bayer Merit was a listed insecticide for SPB. It can be applied as a soil drench, which is easy for a homeowner, but very expensive because Merit is a patented insecticide. Now the patents have expired, and generic immidicloprid can be purchsed instead. Dominion 2L is a high strength concentrate of immidicloprid. I sent an order for Dominion 2L to Domyownpestcontrol.com, and the return shipment was prompt and accurate. I mixed the concentrate to get the applied concentration according to Bayer Tree and Shrub Insect Control, which is somewhat higher than Dominion 2L recommended. The final strength was 0.07 ounce per inch of circumference of the pine tree, measured 5 feet above the ground. My largest pine has a circumference of 35 inches, and used 2.5 oz. of Dominion 2L, dissolved in about 3 gallons of water. I poured it on the ground around the base of the tree, 2 feet out from the trunk. I have been checking the surviving pines for infestation, and they are still free. I can't credit Dominion 2L, since successful attack by SPB depends upon tree health, and rainfall. Drought or a weak tree allows them to infest the bark. Now the tree they attacked suffered both of these problems. We had a drought in June and July with 100+ temperatures. This, no doubt, facilitated the attack. I used the Dominion on the survivors, because that course of action is recommended by arborists, and pre-emptive controls are the only defence aginst SPB. The good news, if there is any, is that Dominion 2L is about 1/4 the price of Bayer Tree and Shrub Control, and more convenient, because it is a high concentration. The other good news is that DoMyOwnPestControl.com has good service.

I used this as a treatment for termites and carpenter ants followed the instructions as given, even went the distance under the crawl space and around the pillars underneath as well....it really worked for the termites for the following 3 years or so....my displeasure came when the ants continue to dwell heavily, the claim of ridding ants (carpenter) seem to be bogus...

Treating your own home for termites isn't rocket science, but it does take some elbow grease. With my wife's and son's help we were able to get all the trenching and drilling done. Thank goodness it was a cooler than usual summer. Dominion is pretty straight forward, just measure, add the correct amount of water and pour. In the garage and on the patio, after drilling, we delivered the solution with an automatic transmission fluid funnel, it worked well in the 1/2" holes. Like any other job, the hard word is in the prep. I recommend this product to anyone who needs to save money and has the time and energy.

Dominion 2L was chosen to replace previous Termidor SC applications. This was a significant cost improvement.

I waited too long and my Ash tree is paying the price from the Emerald ash borer. I couldn't afford another recommended product that cost $100+ and found this product. I have some lower dead limbs but the drench I have applied is looking to have stopped the spread. Time will tell but I know have a reasonably priced product that can combat the pests for various trees as well as other uses.

Hoping I don't ever see termite problems. If I don't, it may very well be thanks to this treatment. Used a little with some cat food and let the wasps feed on it. I've seen many dead wasps and a lot fewer flying around. I had 2 huge ant colonies out back, treated them and let it rain on the workers carrying food into the hills. A few days later, no ants.

The company was very courteous to my order. When USPS unable to deliver the package to me and basically lost or destroyed the package during sorting and processing, the company was able to replace the original order and send me another package. The Dominion 2L is good and safe product to use.

I followed the easy to do directions and applied around the garage and house. I am anticipating complete death to termites.

I put this down in my lawn in mid-June as a grub preventative. Very little product was required. I've never had grub issues before; but I didn't want to risk another year. I've been seeing lots of June bugs this year crawling on my driveway...or dead near my house probably from the Bifen I/T I spray around the perimeter of my house.

This came in a couple of days and was priced significantly below other sellers, including Amazon. Does it work? Can't tell until the termites don't come.

Dosing our Pin Oak for oak galls in southwest Missouri. Two neighbors have had to have their oak trees removed from infestation. I have used it for 2 years now; I do believe it is helping. The tree still has dead branches and galls, but I think it would have been worse without the Dominion. I found the product and application assistance on the following link. https://www.theturfplan.com/blog/galls-on-pin-oaks/

I am happy that I purchased Dominion 2L. It was more work than I expected, digging the trench and especially drilling holes in my concrete patios. But I saved hundreds of dollars and learned a little about pest control along the way. I wish there had been a short video (like there is for the bait stations) that showed how the process works.

Product was used on my lawn (turf in eastern PA). Worked well on clover and ground ivy, but not so good on plantain. Used 0.5 oz per gallon water in hand sprayer. Effects take a week to really appear. Overdose will kill the grass.

Just put in ground around slab for sub-termites in SC. Measuring specs are confusing as stated in directions so guess-n-go and hope for the Best.

I shouldn't really be giving a rating yet because I don't have any results to report yet but delivery was quick and online reviews were helpful. I wish the directions would have more specifics concerning my use as a root zone saturation insecticide. One or two reviews or questions provided needed info. I performed this exercise at the suggestion of my tree expert and am hoping for an improved ash tree next year. I will also do another application next year.

I need something that'll kill them all it did was make a move to another place I think

  Expert response:
Dominion is not recommended for this type of ant. Leaf cutter ants can be a difficult pest to get rid of. The colonies are large and the ants make their own food so poison baits only have limited effects on this species of ants. According to several university websites, Maxforce Complete Granules containing hydramethlynon are some what effective, though they will usually eliminate only about 30% of a large colony in one treatment and will need to be reapplied several times. DeltaGard granules is one of the only products actually labeled for leaf cutter ants. The product label recommends treating the mound directly and lightly watering the granules in. Again, it may take several treatments to get the desired results. We also recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to see if they have any recommendations for products that have worked for other people in your region.

Worked great so far but will not be sure till next spring. Will withhold 5 stars until next spring as leaf cutters are dormant right now and I will not be able to see results right away BUT it looks really good right now. Better than any other product so thanks!! Great results so far and will buy again as it tops other products by a mile!!! Billy!!

I purchased this product because it was highly recommended. Even another company (who cannot ship to SC) gave it rave reviews. I applied it and am now awaiting the results. It is late November/December. I hope it works.
