    Q
    Whitefly in ficus
    I've done a root drench and also sprayed the hedges at the 1.5oz to 100 gallon rate about 10 days ago and then another round a couple days ago and it seems that the whitefly numbers are actually increasing. There are clouds of whiteflies above the shrubs where previously there were not. The root drench was at a higher rate as recommended on the label. I'm concerned that this product does not work as indicated.
    A
    Please be advised that it can take 8 weeks a systemic product to be translocated throughout the plant.  If you are trying to treat an active infestation, doing a foliar spray with a product like Talstar P is the better option because it will help to kill anything that you spray directly and will leave a residual of up to 30 days.  Please be advised that the instructions on the product label should always be followed.  Mixing a product stronger or applying more often than stated does not make it any stronger or help it to be absorbed quicker.

  • Asked by Eric from Chicago, Il

    Q
    Label has no specific instructions for ant control. Why do you keep recommending we read the label for ants?
    I read threw your Q&A and you keep saying to read the label for use against ants. I read the entire label and it doesn't say anything about killing ants. It just talks about termites, and about 1000 types of beetles. No ants. I wish there was a "guide" of some sort for using against ants. I think I have a good idea from bits and pieces of information I picked up reading the Q&A. I just don't want to miss anything.
    A
    The Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate is labeled for ants and does indeed provide specific treatment instructions for ants. You can find this information on Page 8 of the product label under "PERIMETER PEST CONTROL". We recommend that you read the product label because it's the law to do so before use. You would mix 0.6 oz. per gallon of water and apply the Dominion 2L as a perimeter treatment, spraying 2 feet up the side of the structure and 2 feet out on the ground. Be sure to spray window frames, door frames, where pipes enter the structure, and any cracks and crevices. If you have any further questions please let us know.

    Q
    Can Dominion 2L be used to treat potato bugs?
    Is it safe to consume harvested potatoes that were treated with Dominion 2L at the time they were planted?
    A
    Dominion 2L is not labeled for use on edible plants and any food plants treated with the product should be discarded. There are other products that share the same active ingredient that are formulated for use on edibles such as Imidapro 4SC or Monterey Fruit Tree and Vegetable Systemic.

  • Asked by D. from Sylvania,ohio
    12/31/2013
    Q
    Can you use Dominion 2L for outside spider control? I have been using Talstar & we are getting call backs.
    What do think, as we like the price of Talstar but time for a change.
    A
    Dominion would not be recommended for spider control as you are limited in where you can spray it. A much better option would be something like Equil Lambda 9.7 which will still dry clear like the Talstar, but will hold up to the outdoor elements longer. It also sits on top of the surface better to help give better control of the insects passing by that are harder to kill like spiders. Please keep in mind that you have to treat a wider area than just the foundation of the home to eliminate the spider population, and that it takes time to knock them back to a tolerable level. The main part of your spider elimination will be eliminating all the other insects in the area they are feeding on; the more food sources around the home, the more spiders you will see as this is prime feeding ground. It normally takes spraying once every 1-2 months for a couple of treatments in the beginning to get the problem pushed back enough to be able to back off to every 3 months with your sprays.

    Q
    I have carpenter ants will Dominion 2L work?
    A

    Dominion 2L should be applied (1 ft up and 1 ft out) directly up against the structure once every 6 months for a topical barrier for carpenter ants. We also recommend that you bait for them. We carry the Dominion 2L along with a gel bait and a granular bait in our Carpenter Ant Kit #2.

  • Asked by Wayne from Angleton, Tx

    Q
    Will Dominion 2L work as a drench treatment against mealy bugs ?
    I have several large live oak trees that have become infested with mealy bugs. Is this product effective as a drench systemic treatment for this problem ?
    A
    Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate can be used to treat for mealy bugs. The label states to use 1.5 fl oz Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate per 100 gallons of water as a foliar spray not a systemic. This would break down to approx. .015 fl oz Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate into 1 gallon water.

    Q
    How far do you drill the holes from your house when doing a termite treatment?
    I do not have a basement or termites but my neighbors house has a terrible termite problem.. We just want to prevent damage to our own house. How far away from the house do i drill the holes? How deep do i drill the holes? and is it 2.4 ounces of Dominion 2L for every 4 gallons of water?
    A
    All of the instructions on drilling holes through slabs and drilling trenches are described in our "How To Do A Termite Treatment" article on our Termite Control Page.  When using Dominion 2L, you should mix .6 ounces per gallon of water, or 2.4 oz. per 4 gallons of water.  Four gallons of solutions should be applied every 10 lineal feet in the trench and through the drill holes over 10 feet.

  • Asked by Marcia from Berry, Alabama
    07/18/2013
    Q
    How do I treat for protection against termites with Dominion 21?
    I have a brick house on a slab. We are due for our house to be resprayed for termites and was wondering how we go about drilling the holes in our brick? How far up the wall and how far apart we put the holes? Also how much spray do we need to put in the holes? Our house is 35' by 70'. Living space is around 1800 sq ft. Also, do we need to spray in the attic and inside the house with this? How often do we need to do this, and is Dominion 21 the right stuff we need to use? We also have Bifen I/T if it would be better. Thanks for any help. Marcia
    A
    You would not have to drill into the holes into the side of the brick of your home. Trenching around the home is the proper treatment method and you would only drill across concrete barriers like garages or porches where you couldn't trench. You can see how to trench your home with Dominion both in our article How To Do A Termite Treatment and also in our instructional video on the product page How To Do a Termite Treatment with Dominion. If you have additional questions feel free to call us and we can better go over the specifics of your home and how to treat best.

    Dominion 2L is not labeled for use in containerized plants. We suggest Hi-Yield Systemic Insect Granules instead. That product can be used for containerized ornamental plants in home gardens.

    Q
    After treating a 'crawl space' perimeter and piers what safety precautions should be made?
    Noted all 'interior' applications are limited to spot treating only. Wondering what steps should be taken after treating a crawl space, since air from there can often easily move up to the house itself though floor boards.
    A
    All of the treatment in the crawl space should be made inside a trench which you will cover back up.  Dominion 2L is a very safe termiticide and does not have fumes so no precautions are needed inside the living space.  We have sold this product for years to thousands of customers that have used this product inside crawl spaces and we have never had a customer that had any issues.

    05/29/2013
    Q
    After trenching, what type of soil,dirt, etc do I need to fill in?
    I understand that the backfill must also be treated with the chemical as it is placed in trench . I need more backfill in the crawlspace trench also . Also , is there a type of mulch that can be used which termites don't like or is it best not to put mulch around the house foundation . Thanks , Chris .
    A
    You can use just about any type of fill in dirt. We recommend steering away from the sand as the Dominion 2L will bond better with soil/dirt. As far as using mulch, we do not recommend using any type against the structure as they do attract termites.

    No, Dominion 2L is not labeled for ticks in your lawn.

    The mixing ratio for a systemic treatment on trees is 0.1 to 0.2 fl. oz. per inch of the trunk diameter. Be sure to use this in at least 5-10 gallons of water. The amount of product is what is important when treating with Dominion 2L.

  • Asked by J
    04/17/2011
    Q
    How do I treat around Concrete Stairs for termites?
    Pretty sure most of these concrete stairs are soil/gravel filled (not solid.) Do I treat the soil around the perimeter of the stairs or drill directly into the stairs at the top near the exterior wall of the house? (some are 3-4' high) Also, we have a crawl space so I will be doing the foundation perimeter there, will doing this cover that area enough so I can skip the stairs?
    A
    When you are treating around dirt filled concrete stairs or porches, you should trench around the base and perimeter of the stairs or porch first.  Then, you are supposed to drill through the top of the stairs against the foundation or exterior wall of the house as you indicated.  This is to get the product into the dirt that is filled in the concrete stairs or porch.  You should absolutely treat the entire inside of the crawl space as well, but this will not take place of drilling the outside stairs.  You should do both.  This is because you never know where termites are going to try to get into your home and it is always recommended to cover all your bases and do the most complete treatment as possible.
