  • Asked by Janis from Omaha, Ne
    05/06/2013
    Q
    Does Martins Dominion kill tent caterpillars or fall webworms?
    I am looking for a soil drench systemic insecticide to kill the above pests. Does Monterey Annual Tree and Shrub Concentrate kill them?
    A
    The Martins Dominion Tree and Shrub will not affect the tent caterpillars or the webworms. This is because a systemic insecticide of any form will not work for these types of insects. You would need to use a foliar spray to control them like the Fertilome Borer, Bagworm, Tent Caterpillar & Leaf Miner Spray. The dilution would be 2 ounces per gallon of water and reapplication times with vary with the type of plant you are treating on. You can refer to the product label for your exact needs.

    How much Martins Dominion Tree and Shrub do I use for my tree that is 59" around?
    Per the directions, you mix 1 oz of insecticide per inch of tree circumference. My tree is 59"around. Am I understanding correctly? I purchased this product to treat my ash trees for emerald ask borer.
    A

    Yes you are correct, if your tree has a circumference of 59" you will use 59 ounces of Martins Dominion Tree and Shrub in 2 gallons of water and pour the  solution in a circular band from the base of the tree outward for three to four (3-4) feet.

    Q
    Is Martins Dominion Tree and Shrub good for crype mrytle with black soot and whiteflies?
    A

    Martins Dominion Tree and Shrub will treat for the whiteflies, as well as other sucking insects like aphids that cause the black sooty mold.  Since it is a systemic and must be translocated up the tree, it can take a bit of time to take effect.  During that time, we recommend a foliar spray like Talstar P to help with quicker knock down until the systemic product has had time to work.

    Q
    Can Martins Dominion Tree and Shrub be used on Dogs?
    I have a friend that uses this on her dogs. The local farmer/COOP draws it up and she squirts down the back and never has fleas. I don't see what the dilution would be for animals..Can you help?
    A

    No, Martins Dominion Tree and Shrub cannot be used on dogs, as it is only labeled for lawns, flowers, trees and shrubs. Martin's Permethrin 10% can be applied to dogs to treat for fleas.

    Per the product label:

    Dilute 8 ozs in 12.5 gallons of water.

    Thoroughly wet the animal by dipping, sponging or spraying. Allow the animal to dry in a warm place without rinsing or toweling. Do not reapply product for two to three weeks. Consult a veterinarian before using this product on debilitated, aged pregnant or nursing animals on medication.

    Q
    I have used the 1.47% imidacloprid as a drench for trees and shrubs with success for 3 yrs.
    I see that you have Dominion which is 21.4% conc. of imidacloprid. Can this be diluted to the 1.47% for safe drench for trees and shrubs. If so, what is the dilution rate and wouldn't this be more cost efficient for me.
    A
    Dominion 2L would be mixed following the instructions on the product label.   You should use 0.10.2 fl. oz. (3 to 6 mL) of Dominion 2L per inch of trunk diameter (or foot of shrub height) (D.B.H.) diluted in 1 pint - 1 gallon of water per inch of trunk diameter or foot of shrub height.  You would not be able to dilute to a 1.47% as it is a stronger product and the percentage of active is different when diluted.

    Q
    Will Martins Dominion Tree and Shrub kill my beneficial nematodes and worms?
    I try to utilize more natural way's of killing non-beneficial insects, unfortunately, I ran across Japanese beetles that killed all but my Korean Sweet Potatoes. I like using nematodes because they kill and eat the grub form of the beetle. Will this kill my nematodes and worms?
    A

    Martins Dominion Tree and Shrub could potentially kill beneficial insects including nematodes if they contact the treated area. Keep in mind that this product is not labeled for use on vegetables and other edible plants. Earthworms are rarely damaged by insecticides because they are deep in the soil, and their natural coating helps to protect them from pesticides and other toxins.

    Q
    When treating for heavy aphid infestation on roses, can Martins Dominion Tree and Shrub be tank mixed with Bifen IT in a tank sprayer for one application?
    A

    No, Martins Dominion Tree and Shrub and Bifen IT cannot be tank mixed together in the same tank due to the active ingredients and their modes of actions.We typically recommend doing a systemic treatment Martins Dominion Tree and Shrub as a soil drench application around the root zone. Systemic applications are done annually to protect the plant, tree, shrub, etc from the inside up. Since systemic insecticides can take anywhere from 1 week to 3 months to work all the way through the plant, we would recommend continuing to treat with Bifen IT to the foliage every 30 days for aphids.

    Q
    Will Martins Dominion Tree and Shrub kill "Pacific Flatheaded Borers" that are on my Mesquite Tree?
    I have already applied a different brand for a systemic application, but I was also looking for a contact spray because the borers are already in the limbs eating away. My Mesquite tree is weakened and stressed and I really want to save it. It was first noticed last year in October, many limbs were cut, now it seems they've returned earlier than expected (Because the systemic was supposed to last 12 months & it did not.
    A

    While Martins Tree an Shrub is labeled for flathead borers (including Bronze Birch, Alder Borers, and Emerald Ash Borers) it does not specifically list Pacific Flathead Borers. 

    We would recommend contacting your local Cooperative Extension Program for recommendations on treating this pest as according to this article HERE, the use of insecticides are advised against.
