    Q
    I have a crawl space with concrete foundation walls. Why do you recommend Dominion rather than Termidor SC?
    A
    Termidor SC lasts for 10 years or more, but it comes with a hefty price tag that many people can not afford in this economy. We recommend Dominion 2L which last for up to 7 years as a lower cost alternative. Either product will do a great job for you.

    Q
    How well do I need to mix the solution with water?
    For example, do I need to stir or just fill up the 5 gallon bucket half way and add Dominion 2L then add the rest of the water?
    A
    It is important to throughly mix the Dominion 2L into the water. You should fill the bucket with 1/3 of the water needed, add appropriate amount of Dominion 2L, stir well, add another 1/3 of water needed and stir, add the rest of the water and stir.

    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.

    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.

    Q
    Does Dominion 2L Termiticide kill ticks?
    How much does one mix per gallon of water as a systemic tree treatment? How often should both questions potential problems be treated for?
    A

    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.

    Q
    A couple of days ago I was repainting some baseboard molding and when I pulled back the carpeting I noticed
    several winged termites walking around. My question is, would trenching around my house with Dominion still be an effective method to eradicate them, or is it too late for that since they have already established a colony in my house? If so, what method should I use? Thanks
    A
    It is never too late to treat your home for termites.  You should do an outside perimeter treatment with Dominion which will take care of any termites that may be in your home if they entered from around the outside perimeter.  In addition to treating the exterior of the home, you should spot treat any termites that you know of directly with the product from a 1 gallon hand pump sprayer.  You would pull the carpet back again and spray the termites directly where they are so it is sure to touch the termites.  You should read our How To Do A Termite Treatment article for instructions on how to perform the outside perimeter treatment.

    Q
    What is the application for whiteflies in potted plants with Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate?
    I have a small greenhouse with lots of 2 and 4 inch pots and want to use dominion for whiteflies. I don't know how far the roots space is for these small pots. How much do I use per gallon for these small pits since it's not big enough to use per foot of root space.
    A

    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
    How does Dominion 2L compare to Talstar P for Red Carpenter ants?
    I bought Talstar from you and you have a great service. I sprayed once but still find Florida Red Carpenter ants outside. I did perimeters within perimeters to box them in. I looked for their trails and sprayed them. Did area at base of house all around as directed. Dominion 2L is non-repellant so maybe it is a better choice. Carpenter ants are so smart.
    A

    Talstar P will kill ants that come in contact with it, but will not eradicate them. Dominion 2L sprayed around the outside perimeter of the structure will. You should mix .6 fluid oz. per gallon of water to treat for carpenter ants. This will give you approximately 1000 sq. feet of treatment. Please see our Carpenter Ant Treatment Guide for more information and tips about treating for carpenter ants.

    Q
    i have a few questions, first of all how effective is this product against drywood termites?
    A
    If dealing with drywood termites there are better options available. You would typically remove and replace the piece of wood they are infesting, treat the wood with a product designed to absorb into the wood like Boracare which will last for the life of the wood, or inject a foam like Premise or Termidor Foam into the galleries where you know there is activity. If you already have dominion, you can use it to spray into the galleries and it will kill the ones that are currently there and the residual will transfer through the colony, however the residual is only about 6 weeks on the woods surface so it doesn't provide a long term protection like Boracare would.

    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.

    Q
    What can I use in Massachusetts to spray around the outside of my home to ward off carpenter ants?
    A

    Our most popular product for outdoor carpenter ant control is our Carpenter Ant Kit #2.  It comes with a product called Dominion 2L which is strictly for outside control of carpenter ants and is a phenomenal product.  The kit also comes with some bait to place in the structure if you ever have any issues inside.

    Q
    If Dominion has been used in the soil around my house, is it safe to grow herbs in this soil. Im assuming not
    If Dominion has been used in the soil around my house, is it safe to grow herbs in this soil. Im assuming not but how can I know if the soil has been contaminated by its use?
    A
    You should not plant an herb garden that will contain edible vegetation in the same soil that was treated with Dominion 2L. Dominion 2L persists in soil for at least 5 years and it is not labeled to be used in places where edible plants will be grown. If you really do want to plant a herb garden in an area that was treated with Dominion 2L you will need to remove all of the soil and replace it with untreated soil. You should note though that if the soil is removed and it is in the termite treatment barrier zone you will be left with a hole in your termite barrier.
