Customer Reviews for Dominion 2L Termiticide

I have used this for several years on my ash trees in northern Ohio. The untreated ash trees in the subdivision have all succumbed to the emerald ash borer. My trees continue to be healthy.

Very quick shipment. Exactly what I ordered. Using to treat Ash tree. Has prevented borers for 2 years.

We purchased this product to treat for emerald ash borer on 5 of our ash trees. We won't know if it works or not until this spring. They've already killed one of our trees, so we thought we'd better start treating them. The product is highly concentrated, so 1 bottle treated 5 trees. This was the least expensive place I could find the product.

Order and delivery went as expected. This is the second time I was asked to review the product. I tried to mix and apply the product per the Purdue and Michigan State application notes. Took a lot of work for 7 large ash trees. Won't know if the product worked for a couple of years. The chemical concentration was much greater the the Bayer product. Would be helpful to have a more specific application note for EAB.

Previously used Merit for 10 ash trees at a total cost of $500 per year. Thanks to advice from DoMyOwnPestContol, I was able to treat my trees with Dominion for a total of $90. Dominion was much easier to use as it is in a liquid form vs the dry Merit. Only time will tell if all the treatments the past 3 years have been effective. But so far there is no sign of infestation and we live in an area that has infestation of the EAB near by.

I shouldn't really be giving a rating yet because I don't have any results to report yet but delivery was quick and online reviews were helpful. I wish the directions would have more specifics concerning my use as a root zone saturation insecticide. One or two reviews or questions provided needed info. I performed this exercise at the suggestion of my tree expert and am hoping for an improved ash tree next year. I will also do another application next year.

I bough this product to treat my ash trees but no instruction how to treat ash trees for emerald ash bores.

  Expert response:
For systemic treatment, apply Dominion 2L as soil drench at a rate of 0.1 - 0.2 ounces per inch of trunk diameter. Apply uniformly as a drench around the base of the tree in not 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 solution from reaching the root zone. You should also contact your local Cooperative Extension office to see what active ingredient is most successful for treating this pest in your area.

Dominion 2L contains the active ingredient Imidacloprid which is also a systemic insecticide allowing my Iris plants to absorb the poison and kill the Iris Borer worm. I use it in the spring when the Iris plants are about 6" tall. It has worked great during the past several years! I have purchased thru DoMyOwn before since they have the best price and service.

I am using this as a systemic for jumping galls on an oak tree and some kind of a borer on another tree. I have applied it around the two trees as directed but don't know results yet. I may have to reapply in the spring. The product arrived quickly--very pleased with that.

I started treating our tree as soon as I heard about the emerald ash borer. We now have seven infected and dying ash trees on our property, but, the tree I've been treating with Dominion 2L is green, healthy and pretty.

shipped and arrived quickly. I use this as a termite drench as well as drench treatment for several trees to protect against borers and lawn grubs. Seems to work well.

Sprayed where they were boring ...the trunk and around base of tree. No more sign of bore hole and tree seems to be growing fine. Looks like it did a great job

I waited too long and my Ash tree is paying the price from the Emerald ash borer. I couldn't afford another recommended product that cost $100+ and found this product. I have some lower dead limbs but the drench I have applied is looking to have stopped the spread. Time will tell but I know have a reasonably priced product that can combat the pests for various trees as well as other uses.

My community is using this product as a soil drench to protect our street trees against the Emerald Ash Borer. We treated last year and so far all our trees have survived. We will continue to treat annually as long as necessary. I was very pleased to be able to find the percentage of Imidicloprid required for this type of treatment in a consumer product.

Termiticide is one of two most effective systemic insecticides. You can do it yourself as I have saving three ash trees with diameters between 16 and 20 inches. I first use a very long 1/2 to 3/4 inch drill bit and drill dozens of holes in the soil about a foot to two feet from the trunk. You will quickly dull the bit but that is good because when you hit a root, you will know it and can move to another spot. Good idea to mark holes with little flags because it is surprising how easy it is to lose them. I use a two gallon pressure weed sprayer and a third of the concentrate per tree. Remove the spray nozzle so that it comes out in a solid stream. It can take several hours refilling the holes depending how well the soil adsorbs.

I had some Ash trees that were under attack from borers after a hard freeze. I thought I was going to lose the trees but after pruning and using the Dominion 2L trees are doing great. Fast shipping from DoMyOwnPestControl and it was half the price I found at a local store.

Bought this stuff twice now to control Ash borers as well as pine borers. I mix it with some powered fertilizer in a 5 gal. bucket to drench the tree trunck. Almost cut down two of my Austrian pines last year but decided to give this a try rather than use the stuff made by the same company that makes aspirin. This year, the tree has become green again and is growing again. Can see where borers "try" to get a foothold, but then find them dead all around the tree. My ash trees are the envy of the neighborhood and have never looked better while several neighbors have had theirs cut down. Everyone now asks what I use to keep them so beautiful, I just show them the bottle and watch their reaction when they compare it to their brand (the aspirin maker). 0.1% of active ingredient for that brand vs. almost 26% for this stuff. No contest. Also great for use around perimeter of the house as it appears to kill almost any type of pest. No ants, termites, millipeds, nothing! May seem expensive, but it's truly worth every penny and actually much cheaper than that other brand when you consider the mix rate. I highly recommend this product.

Have successfully treated our 45' Green Ash with this the last couple of years. Started with Bayer several years back but after the beetles actually attacked the tree one Fall, moved up to this for first application each season followed by Bayer in late summer for a booster. One of the last ash trees left in our town. Hope the borers will be extinct in North America someday.

Although there seems to be a newer "darling" insecticide for ant control in Taurus/fipronil, I'm told that I should use this (Dominion/Imidacloprid) while I have stock of it which tells me this is nearly as effective... and it is a whale of a bargain compared to the "big box" store's versions of the active ingredient. Dominion seems to be working on my carpenter ant problem, although it's a little hard to tell since I have also been using the MaxForce sweet gel and Advance protein baits. Anyway, after 2 weeks of treatment, we barely see 1 small carpenter ant dead on the carpet per day after over a dozen a day when we opened up a nest behind the window sill. Also, so far I have no problem with Emerald Ash Borer on my 2 Ash trees, even though the trees are being hit in our city. As other say, shipping time is incredibly fast... seems like I hardly have to wait for it to arrive at my Indiana location.
