Dominion 2L will be great as a systemic treatment on Ficus for Thrips. As a foliar you can apply Talstar P.
They should not be present during application of Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate and while wet. Once the surfaces are completely dried, they can return.
You will need 0.1 to 0.2 fl. oz. (3 to 6 mL) of Dominion 2L per foot of shrub height. 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 foot of shrub height but you may use 1 quart -1 gallon of water per foot of height as well. 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 translocated 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 7-10 days after applications to encourage uptake.
Dominion 2L should be applied yearly for emerald ash borer control. It is typically applied around May or June, but it would be a good idea to contact your local cooperative extension office to find out the best timing for your specific area.
Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate works well for grub control. What makes it effective is the amount of water that is used at application since water acts as the carrier. Please review our article on How to Get Rid of Grubs for successful control.

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.

Depending on the target pest, Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate is applied at 0.1 fl oz to 0.4 fl. oz per inch of trunk diameter (D.B.H.) Apply uniformly as a drench around the base of the tree in no less than 10 gallons of water per 1000 square feet. Direct application to the root area. Remove plastic or any other barrier that will stop the solution from reaching the root zone. Please refer to the Table Chart on page 33 of the product label for the target pest.
Dominion 2L Termiticide can be sprayed around and on the tree up to breast height. The holes you do see are best to be sprayed and completely covered.
Yes, Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate can be applied to Boxwoods for leafminers. When applying this systemic product as a drench for leafminers you will mix 0.1 - 0.4 fl oz per inch of the trunk diameter. Apply uniformly around the base of the tree in no less than 10 gallons of water per 1000 square feet. Direct application to the root area. You could also incorporate a product like Talstar P for a foliar application of leafminers using 0.5 to 1 oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq.ft.
Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate would only be used to trench around the inside wall of the crawl space as well as around any pillars. It would not be broadcast across the entire area.

Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate can be taken up by the root system. We would not recommend to eat any fruit from a treated tree for at least 1 year.
Dominion 2L is not a fungicide and would not treat any tree for black sooty mold. Dominion is often used as soil drench application to the base/root zone of trees to help with insects that do damage to the plant throughout the season such as whiteflies, aphids, borers, etc. Make sure you have correctly identified the issue on your crape myrtles as either disease or insect as the treatments would be very different for each. If its insects that are causing the sooty spots on the leaves, you would only need to do a single application of Dominion 2L to the roots of the plant per year. It does need to be applied when the trees are acively growing to absorb the product effectively.
