    Q
    Why are Pharaoh ants excluded from Alpine WSG label?
    A
    Alpine WSG is NOT labeled for pharoah ants because:
    • Baiting is the only effective method for elimination of control of Pharaoh Ants
    • Residual spray treatments are not effective with Pharaoh Ants because they result in the colony budding and contaminate bait stations.
    • Baits must be placed systematically (not randomly) in order to be effective
    • In buildings with severe infestation, total elimination may take up to a year of persistent baiting.

    Q
    Difference between Alpine WSG and Premise/Dominion 2L for ant control
    How does Alpine WSG and it's active ingredient compare to Premise/Dominion 2L and imidacloprid for ant control? Will one work better to eliminating a colony of ants with a single treatment?
    A

    The active ingredient Dinofeturan in Alpine WSG and Imidaclopirid in Dominion 2L will give you the same results. Both active ingredients are non repellents and effect the nervous system resulting in death. Dinofeturan products are mostly EPA Reduced Risk and are more versatile meaning you can you them indoors and outdoors. Imidacloprid is strictly to be used outside the home.

    Without knowing the specific type of ant you are treating for and if you're treating inside or outside the home, it is difficult to recommend one over the other. When treating for any species of ants, multiple treatments are usually required. Using a granule as a broadcast over the yard and liquid treatment against the structure will help not having to do monthly treatments. All this depends on the type of ant you are treating.

    For example: Termidor SC is labeled for Carpenter Ants, Crazy Ants, Argentine Ants and other ant  species including crazy rasberry ants and when applied as a perimeter treatment 1ft up and 1ft out from the structure can last 6 months. Talstar XTRA Granules is labeled for Ants (expect Pharoh Ants), including Carpenter Ants, & Imported Fire Ants. When applied as a broadcast over the entire lawn will last 2-4 months.

    Q
    Repeated flea reinfestation of washed and sealed clthing, can i use it to wash clothes, and seal it fora while
    For repeated flea reinfestation of washed and sealed clthing, clothes be washedwith and seal it for a while before final washing post infestation? I cant wash all of My clothes every few days... for some reason im having repeated clothes reinfestation (after washing and drying).
    A
    Alpine WSG cannot and should not be used to treat clothing. Heavy Flea infestations should treated every 14 days along with frequent vacuuming multiple times a week. Contents of the vacuum should be placed in a trash bag and removed immediately after. 

    Treating the exterior of the home would be suggested as the infestation may be coming from the lawn outside. Please review our  How to Get Rid of Fleas Treatment Guide for more information.

  • Asked by Armando from Ohio

    Q
    Can I apply Alpine WSG as a trunk spray instead of Safari?
    I was thinking about using this as a substitute for Safari until I read your answer to a similar question. The answer stated "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". Could you please provide a couple of alternatives for a basal bark treatment against EAB? Thanks
    A

    Alpine WSG is not labeled for emerald ash borers in this particular formulation. We do have other products with a different active ingredient in it that can be used for a basal trunk treatment, such as Adonis 2F Insecticide. Be sure to check the label on the specifics on how much should be used per gallon of water.

    If I can apply Alpine WSG to the box spring, bed frame, and furniture, then why not a mattress?
    A

    According to the label, Alpine WSG cannot be applied to the mattress. Keep in mind that the label is the law. If you'd like something safe to spray over the mattress, you can use something like Steri-Fab.

    Q
    Can Alpine WSG be applied while it's raining?
    A

    It is not recommended to use Alpine WSG while it is raining outdoors. This will wash the product away, and it will not be effective for the pests your are attempting to eliminate. We would recommend waiting until it has been down for at least 6 hours before it rains.
