Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate

Dominion 2L is an excellent termiticide and insecticide used for the control of subterranean termites and contains the exact same active ingredient and precentage as Premise 2 and I Maxx Pro 2F. Dominion 2L can be sprayed directly on an active termite infestation, or poured in the ground around a home or building to protect against subterranean termites. Dominion 2L is also non-repellent, meaning that termites will crawl over the product without detecting it, and spread it to each other by touch and food sharing, eventually eliminating the entire infestation. Yields 50 gallons of finished solution per bottle.

    Dominion 2L Product Review
  By Patrick on April 29, 2010
  Verified Purchase

  I don't know why the wood adjacent to my bath tub wet-wall was moist? I found no leaks and the plumbing vent to the roof was well sealed. Condensation? The bath drainpipe and water inlets come up through a hole in the slab. The subterranean termite varmints tunneled 10' or 40' under the house slab and surfaced at this point of exposed earth attracted by the moist wood. They swarmed the first warm days in Spring. I treated the exposed earthen area with the Dominion 2L termiticide and then filled it in with sand which is known to obstruct termites. I treated the slab, wood framing, floor and molding with a 2:1 water to Bora-Care mixture. I sprayed Bora-Care down from the attic and drilled holes in the walls where there was no other access. I finished by treating the ground around the house with Dominion 2L. This is my first experience with a termite infestation and my problem appears to have been solved for under $170. I Thank DoMyOwnPestControl.com for providing professional products at fair prices.

  I used this material to treat a very large tree in my yard that was being attacked by termites and large black ants. I previously used products from Home Depot; a complete waste of money. Within one day, I could not find any activity.

    Good Value
  By Robert on May 21, 2010

  I found the process not that difficult.  I used a short pickax to dig the trench, and needed 2 containers of Dominion. I found the tech support from the website to be great, but still have to wait a while to see if all termite activity ceases.  So far so good, no new mud tubes, and its been 3 weeks since the application.

    Unsure at this time
  By Gary on April 28, 2011
  Verified Purchase

  I had a major infestation of flying drone termites in my house. I trenched around my entire house 6-8" down and 4-5" away from foundation where I could and drilled a 1/2" hole 18" deep at the stoop and driveway every 10" and applied Dominion 2L at the rate shown for heavy infestation. I still had them in my house 5 days later though not as bad. I then went to the basement and exposed the exterior framing at the foundation and proceed to spray the BoraCare. 1/2 way through this process I found huge piles of dirt and trails a plenty underneath my front door. At this time I saturated the wood using the Dominion 2L. It is now over a week since then (2 weeks since treating outside) and I am still finding one or two termite upstairs everyday.

    Dominion 2L works as advertised
  By Robert on June 12, 2010
  Verified Purchase

  I trenched around my house (using a small pickax) and applied Dominion 2L as directed by the very helpful staff at DoMyOwnPestControl.com. It's a month and a half later, we replaced a threshold that was eaten up, and there doesn't appear to be any signs of termites.  This wasn't easy, but it saved a bundle. Also the carpenter ant gel sold on this site is very effective. Thanks again!!

  Excellent service. The tech knew exactly what and how much I needed. She shipped fast and the price saved me $1100.00 by treating my own trees, rather than having a professional service them. Thank you very much!

  I am very pleased with this product. It only took three weeks to control the white flies infesting my coconuts. I am holding my breath to see if it lasts. I tried Safari and got no results at ten times the price. I have used DoMyOwnPestControl several times now and they are the best online service I have ever used.

    Great Stuff
  By Steven on April 23, 2013
  Verified Purchase

  I purchased Dominion 2L as a cheap alternative to fipronil containing chemicals. My primary use of this product is for carpenter ant control. I have made just one application to the perimeter and eaves of my home. I believe that the ant problem has been mitigated thus far, and with just one treatment. I also used Dominion for flea and tick control for pet areas since it is the same ingredient in Advantix II.

  By Wendy on April 8, 2013

  A virulent white fly mutation has invaded Southeast Florida. It eats tree leaves, and destroys foliage in a matter of days. None of the current market products work, (Bayer's included) until I found Dominion 2L. It came from Pestmall at one fourth of the price at the local pest control store. Worked great, longer than the six months advertised, and in the 8th month, I am respraying. Saved my fruit trees - Thank

August 3, 2009 Doris asked:

QHow does Dominion 2L compare to Termidor?

ADominion 2L and Termidor are both non-repellent termiticides. One of the features of a non-repellent is that the product is undetectable by pests--they walk over it and touch it without knowing it, and then they are able to transfer the product to each other eventually wiping out the entire colony of termites or ants. Termidor SC does have a slightly longer residual in the ground. Termidor lasts about 10 years in the ground, and Dominion 2L will last around 7 years. Dominion is a much better deal money wise; you can make double the amount of solution for a little more than half of the price.

June 28, 2010 Steve asked:

QI am out in southern Arizona, and we just had an inspection and we have couple of termite mud tubes.
I am planning on buying the Dominion 2L product. My questions are as follows: 1. We have two cement patios/porches that are about 5-7' wide-- do I need to drill or can I just apply the Dominion on the perimeter? 2. The termite company said they were going to spray something into the walls, and they called it an HP Mister? Do I need to inject anything into the walls? The walls are insulated so I assume the foam products wouldn't work. Is this an unnecessary step or is it just another layer of added protection? 3. Will the termite bait stations work if one of the mud tubes is coming up between a sidewalk and the stem wall? Or do I need to treat that with the Dominion 2L? Thanks for your help!

A

Dominion 2L is a great product for termite control.  When treating slabs you are supposed to drill where the slab meets the house. The goal of any termite treatment is to completely surround your home around the perimeter of the foundation. To get the product against your foundation where you have a slab you should drill through the slab. If you decide to trench around the slab then you will be leaving this important area against the house exposed to termites. 

I am not familiar with a HP Mister or what they could be placing in the wall.  Foam is not necessary if you can get to the termites under normal conditions.  

Termite bait stations are just a secondary form of protection.  A Baiting System will no take care of any termites that have already found wood in your house.  They are a preventative treatment only and will only intercept new colonies in the ground coming towards your house.  The only way to eliminate termites already in your home is to treat them directly with a liquid treatment.  

Please let us know if you have any further questions.  You should also read our "How To Do A Termite Treatment" article if you have not already.

July 10, 2010 Melissa asked:

QShould I use Dominion 2L on indoor treatment?
I found active mud tubes in the house and in the basement on exposed beams. How do I treat these? Do I pop them open and spray the Dominion 2L right on the bugs, or do I spray the exterior of the tube? If Dominion 2L is not suitable for this, what other product do you recommend?

A

You should definitely use Dominion 2L directly on the termites if you know where they are.  You would knock the tubes down and spray directly on the beam.  It also does not hurt to drill a hole into the beam and treat into the beam directly.  However, the bigger issue is that it sounds like you have subterranean termites which usually enter from around the outside perimeter of the home.  You can just spot treat the beam, but the more complete answer is to treat around the perimeter of your home completely.  This will serve two purposes.  If there are termites in other places around your home you do not know about yet, a full treatment should take care of them.  Also, if you treat around your entire home, the Dominion will last for 7 years in the soil which means you should be able to live termite free for the next 7 years.  You should read our "How To Do A Termite Treatment" article which explains exactly how you can do just as good, if not better of a treatment than a professional company.

QCan 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?

ADominion 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.

QDoes Dominion 2L lose it's potency over time when stored? Will it work on smaller ants?
I used Dom 2L last year for a carpenter ant problem. It worked great! I was just wondering if I stored it indoors over the winter would it still be as effective next year? Also, my mom's place in Fl has a bad ant problem. The ants are very tiny about 1/16th of an inch. I had to use a magnifying glass to make sure they were ants. I tried using Terro and they ate a whole bottle and seemed to multiply. I was wondering if Dom 2L would also take care of them

AAs long as the product was not allowed to freeze or over heat Dominion 2L will last for several years in its concentrated form. Dominion 2L should take care of any ant species that crosses over treated areas.

QWhat is the mixture rate for soil drenching around a 20' tall coconut palm tree with whitefly infestation

AMost people use a 5 gallon bucket or a large watering can to apply Dominion as a soil drench. You will need 0.1 to 0.2 fl. oz. (3 to 6 mL) of Dominion per foot of shrub height or 0.1 to 0.2 fl oz per inch of trunk diameter for trees. The amount of water that is used will vary depending on soil conditions and volumes that are easy for applicators to use. The minimum amount of water that should be used is 1 pint per foot of shrub height (or inch of trunk diameter for trees) but you may use 1 quart -1 gallon of water per foot of height (or inch of trunk diameter for trees) as well. Denser soils such as clay do not accept water as readily, so the lower volume of water is suggested.  Since sandy soils can accept more water, using the higher volume of water is preferred. After the soil drench has been applied you should water it in with at east 1/2 inch of water. Note: Water simply acts as a carrier and it is important that even distribution of the product is achieved. Thus, more water may be used if the applicator feels runoff will not occur and proper penetration of the root zone is achieved. Insecticides applied to the soil are taken up by the roots and translocated throughout the tree or shrub. Root/soil drenches offer the advantage of requiring no special equipment to apply (other than a bucket or watering can). However, surface layers of organic matter, such as mulch or leaf litter, can bind the insecticide and reduce uptake. Before applying drenches, it is important to remove or pull back any mulch or dead leaves so the insecticide solution is poured directly on the mineral soil. It is also important to keep the soil around the tree or shrub moist for the next 7-10 days after applications to encourage uptake. We also recommend using a product with an active ingredient that is different than the soil drench for a foliage application while you are waiting for the Dominion to translocate through the ficus. Talstar P is the most popular choice for foliage application on ficus for white fly.

September 3, 2012 Daniel from Clifton, Nj asked:

QGetting rid of termites tunneling inside foundation
Found termites tunneling inside my cinder block foundation wall. Do you have to drill holes in basement floor and the wall??? I would have to drill about 200 holes if I have to drill into every void in the blocks. Or would drilling in the floor be enough?

A

You have to drill into the cinder block.  But not every block, you should drill two holes per block, one hold per void, in one line around the perimeter of the basement or at least wherever you have exposed block.  Typically you go up about 12 to 18 inches, and drill that block all the way around.  You should spray 2 gallons per 10 feet into the block. 

There probably is more holes to drill this way, but it will go much faster.  It is much easier to drill through the thin wall of the block rather than the thick concrete slab.  You could probably drill 10 to 15 holes in the same time it would take you to drill one single hole through the slab of the basement.  Also, the problem with drilling through the slab is that the termites are probably entering the block from much deeper under the soil then the slab level, so if you only treated the slab it would probably not contact the termites and not work.  Only drilling into the block, where they are, will guarantee you will take care of the issue.
