Alpine WSG is not labeled to have a transfer effect like Phantom Termiticide Insecticide.
Temprid FX would have the faster kill over Alpine WSG and Phantom, but Phantom would be the better option since it has a transfer effect to eliminte the entire colony. Temprid will only kill those that contact a treated area.
If the stink bugs and spiders are your primary concern, we recommend using the 30 gram per gallon rate of Alpine WSG. If ants are your primary target, then using 20 grams per gallon will give you a slightly slower kill to improve the transfer effect.
Please view the product label for more information.
While there is a not a specific indication on the Alpine WSG label that you cannot mix it with other insecticides, we do not recommend mixing Alpine WSG with another residual insecticide such as Permacap CS or Cyzmic CS. This is because the Alpine WSG is a non-repellent insecticide, so mixing it with another residual insecticide would negate those non-repellent/transfer effects for social insects such as ants. Depending on the target pets(s), using these products in rotation would be more practical.
Alpine WSG is a non repellent insecticide therefore will not provide an immediate or quick knockdown of insects. Non repellents are slower acting which is best for social insects such as ants, roaches, etc as it allows the ants to transfer the active ingredient throughout the colony.
This product leaves a 30 to 60 day residual outdoors. Applications should be made to any trails, inside or outside, around doors and windows and other places where ants may enter premises.
For indoor applications, using Alpine WSG along with both an ant bait gel (sweet) and granule bait (protein) in bait plate stations is a very effective treatment.
Because Alpine WSG is a non-repellent that works by slowly allowing the targeted ants to transfer the active ingredient around to eliminate the colony, the results will not be immediate. As long as the ant gets enough of the product on their body, it should kill them in a matter of days or weeks.
For spot applications, crack and crevice or void treatments, retreatments can be done at 3 day intervals if needed or for general surface treatments, retreat at 6 day intervals.

The Alpine WSG uses Dinotefuran which is a non repellent so it is a slower kill but will transfer throughout the colony better than contact insecticides. Some may die sooner, those that directly contacted the treated area as opposed to those the active ingrdient was transferred to.
Alpine WSG is mixed at 30 grams per gallon of water. Per page 6 of the product label for yellow jackets, when treating nests inside wall voids, inject an amount sufficient to treat the entire nest. Most applications should require about ½ gallon of mixed solution. It also emphasizes that this product does NOT provide an instant knockdown.
