  • Asked by Ashley
    10/30/2022
    Q
    How soon after an application of Alpine WSG (for german cockroaches) can the kitchen/basedboards be cleaned?
    I'd like to clean my very dusty house and vacuuming is not quite enough to fully clean the crumbs or other food remnants that are left from normal use in the kitchen.
    A

    Normal cleaning practices in your home are fine after applying Alpine WSG however we recommend refraining from directly applying cleaning products to the treated areas as the residual could be removed. If treating for German Roaches, repeat applications of Alpine WSG should be reapplied every 14 days as well as replacing roach bait placements. Also, if you are not also using an insect growth regulator to interupt the reproduction cycle, this is recommended especially for German Roaches. 

    Please view our Roach Control Kits and our How to Get Rid of Roaches Treatment Guide for more information on a successful treatment program.

    08/08/2021
    Q
    Can you mix 1/2 of a 10mg packet of Alpine WSG with only a half gallon of water instead of using the entire packet? I am only treating a small area and will not need to use an entire gallon of mixed solution.
    I have a small area to spray. Can I mix half of the 10g packet with half a gallon of water and save the rest of the packet for later? Or does each packet need to be used at once?
    A

    Yes, you are able to mix only ½ a packet of Alpine WSG with a half gallon of water if only needing a smaller amount of mixed solution. Please make sure you close the remaining product in the packet securely and keep stored in an airtight ziplock bag or container until the next treatment.

    Q
    How long after I apply Alpine WSG will it begin to kill cockroaches?
    A

    When applying insecticides such as Alpine WSG, the knockdown rate will be depend on how long the insect stayed on a treated surface and the age and health of the insects. In most cases, you can expect death in 24-72 hours. Please review our How to Get Rid of Roach Treatment Guide for steps on a successful treatment program.

  • Asked by Steve from Mount Dora, Fl
    11/11/2014
    Q
    Can Alpine WSG be used as a systemic insecticide on plants?
    Because Alpine WSG uses the same active ingredient as some of the best plant insecticides (e.g., Safari), is seems logical that it should be usable in this application. The soluble powder in the sachets appear to be an economical and convenient way for a master gardener/homeowner to get the benefits of using this chemical without having the expense of purchasing a large amount of Safari in liquid form.
    A
    Alpine WSG is not labeled for use as a systemic product on plants and is only labeled for structural pest control in and around the outside of residences and commercial areas. We do not know if it would work for the purpose you intend as although it may be the same active ingredient, that does not mean it and its innert ingredients are formulated in a way that is not harmful to the tree if absorbed in the root system or to disperse in the way the Safari is made to work. Depending on the insect you are trying to treat for, there are many other products we recommend for insect control for those who know the Safari name and brand but are looking for a product that is more cost effective but equally as effective at controlling the pests. If you let us know what pest you are trying to control or prevent we can help find an alternative product for you.

  • Asked by Richard from Raymond Maine

    Q
    How do i make my house inside inhospitable to leaf footed bugs?
    I have seen them in my attic and some in my living space. I also have a gold fish a small dog and 2 young kittens.
    A
    Unfortunately, there is no way to make your home any less "attractive" to leaf footed bugs because they may come indoors to wait out the winter. However, a preventative or remedial spraying of the attic and outside of the home would help kill any that may enter or try to enter. Alpine WSG is an excellent insecticide that can be used inside your home including the attic as well as outside with minimal toxicity. You can spray the exterior of your home paying close attension to windows, doors, and cracks and crevices.

  • Asked by David from Monroe
    03/05/2018
    Q
    Can you mix Alpine WSG with another pesticide to kill and control carpenter bees?
    A

    Alpine WSG Insecticide is not labeled to control carpenter bees, so we would recommend using a different product rather than mixing the Alpine with another product. If you are looking for a combination product that includes a non-repellent for control of carpenter bees, then Temprid FX would be a great option. We also have insecticide spray and dust included in our Carpenter Bee Control Kit.

    Q
    Does Alpine WSG contaminate fish tanks?
    I had my house sprayed and have fish tanks which I covered but ever since one tank almost instantly kills everything (in a matter of hours) no matter how much I clean and reset it up
    A

    Alpine WSG is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. All fish tanks should be tightly covered prior to the application. You may want to contact the company that did the application and inquire if the tank might have been sprayed inadvertently.

  • Asked by Ashley from Pershing, In
    06/14/2017
    Q
    What product would work best for sugar ants in a restaurant that invade the customers booths, Tandem or Alpine WSG?
    A

    You could use either Alpine WSG or Tandem Insecticide as a perimeter spray outside around the building and as a spot spray inside when the business is closed and customers are not in the area. We would also recommend using a sweet ant bait such as Advion Ant Bait Gel or Maxforce Quantum Ant Bait in the cracks and crevices where you are seeing ant trails. Baits have food attractants and get carried throughout the ant colony. Be sure to practice good sanitation to remove any food crumbs or scraps from around the booths to prevent future infestations, as well.

  • Asked by Juan from San Antonio
    01/08/2020
    Q
    Can Alpine WSG be used in an actisol machine for German roaches?
    Is this product labeled for fogging? Read the entire label but I need reassurance.
    A

    Alpine WSG cannot be used in any type of fogging equipment.  Actisol units are not foggers though, they just apply products like an aerosol application and since the Alpine WSG dissolves completely you can use in the machine.

    Per the manufacturer: 

    Alpine can be delivered using an Actisol machine. However, we would recommend the user pre mix the solution in a 1 gallon container and not in the Actisol tank.

    MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:

    Thoroughly clean spray equipment before mixing and application of this product. Add approximately 1/2 of the water to the 1 gallon container. Tear open the packet and add contents to water, then complete the filling of the spray tank. Agitate the solution until the product is completely dissolved. Reagitate finished dilution if application is interrupted for an extended period of time or if dilution is left in tank overnight.

    DO NOT LEAVE UNUSED FORMULATION IN THE ACTISOL TANK FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

    BACKFLUSH THE HOSE AND WAND AFTER EACH USE AND RETURN UNUSED FORMULATION THE MIXING CONTAINER. (Instructions can be found in the operations manual for the Actisol machine)

    REAGITATE FORMULATION BEFORE EVERY USE.

    DO NOT FILL MORE THAN 20-24 oz. OF FORMULATION TO THE ACTISOL TANK.

    Q
    How long should a pregnant woman stay out of the house after Alpine WSG is sprayed?
    There is no ventilation in the house. (It's actually being sprayed in a clinic).
    A

    We recommend that only the applicator is present during the application of Alpine WSG. Once the surfaces treated are completely dried it is safe to return. You will want to make sure that is ventilated as much as possible and return about 2-4 hours later.
