Customer Reviews for Dominion 2L Termiticide

Termites found their way into part of our summer cabin and we needed something to stop the infestation. After searching the internet about different options we decided upon 2 bottles of Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate. Followed the instructions of digging a trench and adding four gallons per ten feet then spraying the back-fill plus the lower three feet of walls and foundation. We also bought a bottle of FastOut CS Foam - 20 oz to spray the inside infested area for immediate control. After two days we stopped hearing any action of the termites gnawing away at the studs and wood. So far after a few weeks we see no sawdust or other evidence of the termites. Now to see how long this treatment keeps the cabin protected.

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.

I live in southeastern Pennsylvania, and this summer, for the first time, southern pine bark beetles (SPB) attacked and killed an eastern white pine in my back yard. Blame it on global warming. The SPB infested the tree in the early summer, and it was dead by August. It was probably dead sooner, but the tree didn't turn red until early August. There must have been 100,000 beetle larvae, pupae, and adults in the tree. I cut it down and removed the wood. The blue-stain fungus that the beetles carry was in the trunk. Now my worry was for the eleven other eastern white pines in my plantation. I knew that Bayer Merit was a listed insecticide for SPB. It can be applied as a soil drench, which is easy for a homeowner, but very expensive because Merit is a patented insecticide. Now the patents have expired, and generic immidicloprid can be purchsed instead. Dominion 2L is a high strength concentrate of immidicloprid. I sent an order for Dominion 2L to Domyownpestcontrol.com, and the return shipment was prompt and accurate. I mixed the concentrate to get the applied concentration according to Bayer Tree and Shrub Insect Control, which is somewhat higher than Dominion 2L recommended. The final strength was 0.07 ounce per inch of circumference of the pine tree, measured 5 feet above the ground. My largest pine has a circumference of 35 inches, and used 2.5 oz. of Dominion 2L, dissolved in about 3 gallons of water. I poured it on the ground around the base of the tree, 2 feet out from the trunk. I have been checking the surviving pines for infestation, and they are still free. I can't credit Dominion 2L, since successful attack by SPB depends upon tree health, and rainfall. Drought or a weak tree allows them to infest the bark. Now the tree they attacked suffered both of these problems. We had a drought in June and July with 100+ temperatures. This, no doubt, facilitated the attack. I used the Dominion on the survivors, because that course of action is recommended by arborists, and pre-emptive controls are the only defence aginst SPB. The good news, if there is any, is that Dominion 2L is about 1/4 the price of Bayer Tree and Shrub Control, and more convenient, because it is a high concentration. The other good news is that DoMyOwnPestControl.com has good service.
