    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
    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
    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
    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.

    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.

    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 Marcia from Berry, Alabama

    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.

    Q
    Can I spray Dominion 2L on the studs? The walls have termites.
    I knocked down those walls inside my bed room, and I found out there is termite activity. Can I use Dominion 2L to spray on the studs before I put the new drywall on? Please tell me what is the best product to kill and stop them from coming back.
    A
    Dominion 2L will not penetrate through wood. It can be used in the wall, but you have to get it directly on the termites in the wood. This means you have to drill a hole directly into the wood and treat the termites exactly where they are. After the Dominion 2L dries, it will not have any long term effect on the wood. There is a product we carry called Bora-Care that is a wood treatment product.  It will penetrate through the wood so you do not have to get it directly where the termites are. Also, it will stay in the wood forever and protect the wood long term.

    Q
    What is the best way to apply Dominion 2L for bagworms on Leland Cypress trees? How much per 5 gallons of water?
    A

    Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate is a great product for listed insects as a soil drench. However, for bagworms, a foliar application of a product such as Talstar P would be a better option. It can be applied once monthly. If the bagworms are mature, manually plucking them and soaking in soapy water would be the alternate option.

  • Asked by Chris from Provo, Utah
    10/14/2014
    Q
    Can Dominion 2L be injected directly to holes drilled in a live tree?
    Some "tree care" products are sold that provide a syringe to inject 5% Imidacloprid directly into the trunk of the tree affected by Bronze birch beetles etc as a way to quickly introduce the product to the insects. Can I dilute your product and use it in the same way?
    A
     You can apply Dominion 2L as a drench any where between the base and drip line of the tree. You want to make sure that  you keep the soil moist for up to 7 days after applicaiton to ensure the product will be more quickly soaked into the root system. We do not recommend Injecting Dominion into the live tree. Please follow the product label for instructions.

    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.
