Dominion 2L
Dominion 2L is a generic form of Premise(the original non repellent), making it more economical.
Dominion 2L and Premise both contain the active ingredient Imidacloprid.
Termidor or Taurus SC contain the active ingredient Fipronil. Both active ingredients
are non-repellent which makes them quite different from other termiticide
soil treatment products which are repellents, in effect designed to
repel or keep termites away from a treated soil area, rather than killing
them. This means any minute gap in the treated soil can be detected
and exploited by the termites to gain entry in the building. This is
a major short-coming of the old-fashioned termite control alternatives,
far too often, with financially disastrous consequences.
When controlling termites,
the biggest difference in the products seems to be the length of
time that they remain active in the soil, when applied according
to termite
treatment instructions.
Most exterminators that have used both
products say that they get 5 to 7 years out of Imidacloprid (Dominion
or Premise), as opposed to 8 to 10 years out of Fipronil (Termidor
SC or Taurus SC ).
Dominion 2L is labled for ant
control around the perimeter of the home, with the exception
of native or imported fire ants, pharaoh and harvester ants. As non repellents these products are important in ant control. The ants can not detect their presence.
Dominion 2L can also be used on ornamental trees and shrubs, as well as some
fruit and nut bearing trees, and interior plantscapes. For ants,
it can be used as often as once a month.
Termidor SC or Taurus SC are also
labeled for ant control around the structure with no restrictions
on any particular species, but not for use on any trees or plants.
For ants, it can be used no more than twice per year.
Both Fipronil and Imidacloprid are excellent for use against termites and ants. Both ingredients are effective, time tested favorites of exterminators around the world. More importantly, both ingredients are now available to home owners to treat their own properties, and save lots of money in the process.
Do not use repellent termiticides (Cyper TC, Dragnet, Permethrin 36%, Bifen IT) with a termite bait systems. It will repel them away from the bait systems.
Use non repellents with termite bait systems such as:
Dominion 2L is more economical.

How to Calculate Dominion 2L Termidor SC or Taurus SC usage for Termite Control
You will need 4 gallons of mixed solution.
- Measure your home's lineal feet. An average sized house is 200 lineal feet.
- Divide the lineal feet by 10
Example : 200 lineal feet home (20-10 foot sections)
200%10=20
- Use 4 gallons per 10 lineal feet.
Example : 200 lineal feet home
20 (10 foot sections) x 4 gallons of finished mixture (80 gallons
of finished mixture needed). This would require 4-7 20 oz.bottles of Termidor SC or Taurus SC , depending on which dilution rate that you use. If you use Dominion 2L you would need 1-2 bottles,depending on which dilution rate you would choose. See product lables for dilution rates.
Dominion 2L For Outside Carpenter Ant Control:
Dominion 2L offers the most effective, low-dose control of outdoor carpenter ants
available, even
with outdoor perimeter applications at the low rate of 0.05% active ingredient.
Treat soil, turf or ground cover adjacent to the structure where ants are trailing or may find food or harborage. Apply to flower, shrub or ornamental plant beds adjacent to the structure where ants may find food or forage.
To control carpenter ants tunneling in soil apply a 0.05% to
0.1% solution as a drench or soil injection at intervals to establish a continuous treated zone.
Treat along the edge of walls, driveways or other hard surfaces where ants are tunneling beneath the surface.
Apply in sufficient water to cover the foliage and soil area being treated.
Maximum application is once per month to maintain control.
Do not allow residents or pets into the immediate area during the application or contact with treated areas until spray has dried.
