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.
In general Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate can be applied when temperatures are between 45-85 degrees. The most ideal application would depend on what you are treating for and where you are located. 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 is not labeled for fleas or ticks. For flea and tick infestations consider using our Outdoor/indoor flea kit which contains the insecticide Onslaught and the Insect Growth Regulator Martins IGR.

Night crawlers is in the same family of earthwroms which are known to be mostly beneficial creatures. There is not a product on the market labeled for earthworms (night crawlers) Since Dominion 2L Termiticide has not been tested on Night Crawlers, we cannot say that they would help in eradicating them.
We would suggest contacting your local Cooperative Extension Office for treatment options to help with night crawlers in the lawn.
Dominion 2L Termiticide is not specifically labeled for Eastern White Pine Weevils only annual bluegrass weevils and black vine weevils. Bifen IT is labeled for "weevils" in general and the active ingredient Bifenthrin is known to be effective for white pine weevils. It is important when using a foliar application that treatments start when adult weevils first start to appear in spring, usually around mid-April. At this time, Bifenthrinseemstobetheonlyactiveingredientavailabletohomeownersforwhitepineweevilcontrol. We also suggest you contact your local cooperative extension office for more tips on the best treatment time in your specific area.

The difference between Dominion 2L Termiticide and Zenith 75 WSP is the concentrations of the active ingredient. There might also be differences in the applications on the label and they are made by different companies.
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.
Simply pouring a termiticide such as Dominion 2L around the foundation will not provide ample protection from termites. There is no guarantee how deep the product will absorb into the ground, and you need a termiticide at least 6 inches deep for termite protection. Another option would be to create holes using a rod or dowel that is at least 6-12 inches deep every 12 - 18 inches, then you would still be appling 4 gallons of solution per 10 feet by pouring the product evenly into each hole.
Otherwise, bait stations such as the Advance Termite Bait Stations are placed 2-4 feet out from the structure, outside the dripline of the roof.
The 2.15 gallon jug of the Dominion 2L Termiticide treats 900 linear feet.
Due to the high water table and potential for regular flooding in the state of Louisiana, most of the soil termiticides such as Dominion 2L are not for use in the soil in that state. This means only unique and safer formulations that wont get into the water are allowed, or bait stations in instances where liquids are not the preferred option. The two main termiticides that are not restricted to soil use in Louisana are Altriset and Phantom. Altriset is what most customers use due to its newer formulation and safety for the environment, along with its great termite control abilities. If you feel trenching is not going to be what you would like to do, we do carry Termite Bait Stations as a great alternative home protection option. The guide linked here is extremely helpful and goes through step by step instructions as well as "How to" videos for both treating with a liquid termiticide as well as installing bait stations.
Live Trapping and eliminating the food source are both good methods to eradicating Armadillos and other turf insect predators from your lawn. Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate is labeled for grubs but more for preventative treatments. For best results, soil applications should be done in mid June to mid July prior to grub egg hatch. Depending on your region, grub egg hatch is typically from late July throught late August.
For actively feeding grubs, Dylox 6.2 Granules is recommended for immediate grub control within 24 hours of the application being watered in. Mature Grubs may require a second application.
Please review our article on How to Get Rid of Grubs for more information.
You can use .6 fluid oz. Dominion 2L per gallon of water so you would set to whatever setting on your sprayer that is.
Dominion 2L Termiticide is not labeled to control armyworms.
Please view our Armyworm Control Products and Treatment Guide for more information.
Dominion 2L Termiticide has not yet added spotted lantern Fly to their label. You can consult with your local extension office to see if they can advise to use. We do carry Safari that is labeled for spotted lantern fly as well.
Dominion 2L is often used as soil drench application to the base/root zone of shrubs/trees to help with insects that do damage to the plant throughout the season such as whiteflies, aphids, borers, etc. and you would only need to do a single application to the roots of the plant per year.
You should not apply any termiticide, including Dominion when it is below freezing or when temperatures are above 80 degrees. We suggest treatment in the morning or late in the evening when rainfall is not expected the day of and the day following application.
If you are seeking a pre-treat prior to concrete being poured, Dominion 2L Termiticide is applied at one gallon every 10 sq ft. Some of our customers also use a 5 gallon bucket and pour the 5 gallons over 50 square foot sections which will be much faster than using a hand pump sprayer which comes out slowly. It is very important to apply more around the perimeter edges of the slab, around plumbing pipes that will come through the slab, and along expansion joints if you know where they will be. Since these are the more likely entry points of termites you want to make sure you treat more heavily around these areas. You should take general precautions when applying any product which would be to wear gloves, protect your eyes if it is windy, and treat only in the designated area where your slab will be poured.
Dominion 2L would not work for elm bark beetles as it would not reach to the areas of the trees these beetles infest. Effective treatment involves killing the beetles before they bore into bark in fall and when they first emerge in spring so protecting healthy trees is best. Timing is critical to reach the pests before they're under the protective bark. You can use a product like Permethrin SFR for this.
