    Q
    I treated my ash trees a month ago using "Dominion' as a drench at .2 oz per 1" of diameter as recommended.
    I am currently losing a lot of leaves on most of my ash trees. What can I do next??
    A
    It is hard for us to determine how the Dominion is working on your tree without knowing what pest you are treating the ash tree for. Please provide us with more information and we can better diagnose your treatment and if there are any other factors effecting your tree. As Dominion is a systemic, it can take several weeks for the product to actually fully translocate all the way through the tree and start effecting the insect feeding on and destroying it. Many times a foliar application is needed as well to help speed up the control of the insect.

    Q
    Termites are in fallen branches near our trees. Can I apply D2L directly to the termites to control a colony
    A
    If you just spray the area you would have to reapply every 6 months and termites might not even come in contact with the solution, because it is not in the ground where they are. You can wipe out an entire colony best when you dig a trench and apply Dominion 2L in the soil as a trench treatment for many reasons. One, by applying the Dominion into the soil, you are allowing the product to bind and stay put for up to 7 years. Two, the depth of the trench ensures that the termites will come in contact with it. You can just spray the branches and you may wipe out the colony, but it would be a better guarantee if you did a more thorough treament by pouring some into the soil around the branches.

    Q
    I noticed subterranean termites tubes in my garage.
    I started poking the wood (all of it) and found a small area in the garage that was infested which I will have replaced. Unfortunately I didn't research before spraying with Spectracide Termite and carpenter ant killer from HD so they probably moved location. Since researching I have found that the 6"x6" trench with 4 gallons of Termidor per 10 linear feet of trench is the solution. I do not want to pay the pros for this so I would like to do this myself. After reading the labels it looks like a 4 ft. trench is required for the sides of the house that have a basement. Since the basement is not finished and I have access to all the beams can I just spray the wood with Dominion 2L or something else? I found the termite gallery outside of the garage which is the part of the house that is on a slab and no other mud tubes outside or in basement so can I get away with a 6"x 6" trench all the way around? I am a 50 year old 120 lb. Woman and do not mind hard work, but 4 feet deep is a little much. I looked at Boracide, but it seems like this is for drywood termites. I had the house treated by pros in the past so the basement has plugged holes. I checked the wood in the basement and did not find any activity? If there is nothing I can apply directly to the wood can I drill through the plugs and inject Termidor using a hand pump then re-plug the holes (I would rather not have to do this)? Thank you for your help.
    A
    You do not have to dig the trench 4 feet deep.  You should do a 6 inch wide x 6 inch deep trench around the entire house, everywhere the ground comes up to the structure and apply at 4 gallons per 10 lineal feet.  Inside the garage where you have had activity, you should treat that area directly by drilling holes into the infested wood and injecting the Termidor or Dominion 2L product directly.  These 2 treatment options should take care of your issue.  Just keep in mind that Termidor or Dominion are not wood treatment products, so they will not protect the wood long term like they do when they are in the ground.  However, if they touch live termites in the wall or in the wood, the termites will take the product back to the colony as it was intended.

    Q
    Is it safe to treat with Dominion 2L an area where water line will be in the trench?
    My home is a slab construction and my water supply line is routed within 12" of slab perimeter.
    A

    The water line should be PVC, which will not allow the product to penetrate into the water line.  Also, if the line is 12” deep and you dig down 6” deep, then you should be fine as far as not hitting the water line.

    Q
    What is the application rate for soil drenching with Dominion 2L Termiticide on a Live Oak Tree that measures 187" in diameter?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Can a surfactant be used with Dominion 2L to treat termites in Oak trees via trench to help absorption?
    If so which one do you recommend?
    A
    We do not recommend using a surfactant with Dominion to treat for termites. The surfactant would take away from the non repellancy of the Dominion. If you have termites in a tree you would need to treat the nest directly by drilling holes into the dead parts of the tree where the colony is infested. The part where the termites are residing is dead and may not absorb the product as if it were taking in nutrients properly the section of the tree wouldn't be dead. Direct treatment is best for that reason, and also because the dominion as a drench would take several weeks to fully translocate through the entire tree. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    I did a full trench treatment with Dominion 2L last year. What should I now use as a annual treatment?
    Could I use a repellant such as Demon or Bifen or continue with Dominion?
    A
    Dominion 2L should only be applied in a trench for a perimeter treatment for termites once every 7 years. Using an insect such as Demon WP or Bifen can be applied to the top of the soil for general insect control monthly on the exterior of the structure and once every 90 days to indoor cracks and crevices.

    Q
    Can Dominion 2L be used for Spiraling White Fly in Southwest Florida? If so, can it be applied as a root drench and at what rate?
    A
    Dominion 2L can be applied as a soil drench for treating spiraling whiteflies. It will be applied at 0.1-0.2 fluid ounces per inch of the trunk diameter (D.B.H.) or height of the shrub. It will take approximately 2-3 months to work throught the root zone so we suggest applying a foliage application of Bifen IT (to non-edible trees and shrubs) at one ounce per one gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. This can be applied monthly on the exterior of the structure.

    Q
    A month ago I applied "Dominion" as a drench to treat the emerald ash borer. Applcation rate was .2 oz per
    inch of diameter mixed with an adequate amount of water to pour around the tree base (perhaps 5 gal). I have kept the ground moist. I am currently observing major foilage drop. What can I do next?? These are critical landscape trees!
    A
    As a distributer, we only have information that can be found on the product label. We recommend that you directly contact the manufacturer, Control Solutions, at 281-892-2500.

    Q
    Does Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate kill ants, roaches, bed bugs, crickets, aphids?
    A

    Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate cannot be used inside so is not labeled for bedbugs nor is it labeled for common crickets.  It can be used as a perimeter spray outside around the foundation for ants and roaches or as a systemic soil drench on plants/trees for aphids.  You can review the product label for the list of insects it controls and application instructions.
