    Q
    Can Alpine WSG be applied inside of a baseboard heater since the hot water pipe gets very hot?
    The Alpine WSG Safety Data Sheet says the granule dust is combustible, and that the granules breaks down into carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide when heated above 60 Celsius. Would the same be true after the product is mixed with water and applied with a sprayer? Or is the residual pesticide left behind after proper application too small to be dangerous?
    A

    After the Alpine WSG applicaton has been mixed with water, sprayed and allowed to completely dry in the area behind the baseboard heater, this application should not pose any risk when the water pipes heat up. For further questions or concerns, please reach out to the manufacturer BASF directly for more information. BASF can be reached at 800-777-8570.

    Q
    What is the rate of Alpine WSG for treating the exterior perimeter of the home for Stink Bugs, Spiders, and Carpenter Ants?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Is Alpine WSG safe to apply to herbaceous plants?
    I'd like to try Alpine WSG to eliminate a scale infestation on my orchids, is this safe for the plants?
    A

    Alpine WSG is not labeled for ornamental pests such as scale. We suggest Safari 20SG which has many applications for ornamental plants. Since orchids can be very sensitive, we always recommend testing a small area first for tolerance or consulting with a local or national orchid care group for their advice as well.

  • Asked by Carlton from Cary Nc
    10/24/2021
    Q
    What is the Group Classification of Alpine WSG? Rotation group classification
    I am not able to locate this information on the SDS Sheet or Product Label however I can find where Demand Duo is Group 4a/3a.
    A

    Alpine WSG uses soley the active ingredient Dinotefuran which is a Class 4A Neonicotinoid.

    Demand Duo using Thiamethoxam (4A) and Lambda-cyhalothrin (3A) is referred to a “dual mode of action” insecticide meaning it contains 2 different class active ingredients which help prevent resistance or aversion that can develop with using the same class insecticide over a period of time.

    Q
    Does Alpine WSG stain surfaces?
    Customer claiming this stained her granite counter top. No other customers have had issues, anyone else seen, I can see dark lines in the granite, but my sprayer puts out a wider pattern than the stain line. I'm thinking she used a bad cleaning product and is trying to blame me.
    A

    Alpine WSG is not suppose to stain surfaces. We would recommend contacting the manufacturer at 1 800 526-1072 for more information on this matter.

    Q
    Is Alpine WSG safe to spray down a sink drain?
    A friend of mine told me I could use it to kill gnats and flys if I spray it down the drain but I don't think that could possibly be safe to do.
    A
    We would not recommend spraying Alpine WSG down a drain. If you want something to use in a drain we would recommend InVade Bio Drain or Invade Hot Spot Plus

  • Asked by George from Austin, Texas
    09/07/2022
    Q
    Does Alpine WSG remain on porous surfaces after the application?
    A

    Yes, Alpine WSG would leave behind some residual on a porous surface, however some will inevitably absorb in as well. When treating exterior surfaces, it is recommended to treat the foundation and soil around the exterior perimeter as well as where utilities enter the home, gaps and voids in siding, around windows, doors and other entry points where insects may enter.

    Q
    Can I mop with Alpine WSG and use it as a broadcast application?
    Can I use this with a spray mop? I have fleas and need to do a broadcast application on the floor with an even layer. I have one of those spray mops that has a built in bottle that hold at least half a gallon of water.
    A
    Alpine WSG should not be used as a mop solution.  It is mixed with water and applied with a pump sprayer as directed on the product label.  For fleas the product label states: Apply to infested areas or potentiallly infested areas, such as rugs, floors, carpets, upholstered furniture, pet beds and pet resting areas.  When applying to upholstered furniture, treat under cushions and areas where flea development can occur.

  • Asked by Saiyan from Cincinnati, Ohio
    12/01/2020
    Q
    What other pesticide can be added with Alpine WSG to boost effectiveness?
    Can CyKick be added, or should it just be Taurus since they share the same (non-repellent) properties?
    A

    There really would be no reason to tank mix Alpine WSG with Cy-Kick CS or Taurus. They both are considered adulticides, but with different active ingredients. Exciter is meant to be added to insecticides to only give a faster initial knockdown and would not be good as a boost with Alpine WSG which is a non-repellent insecticide.  Mixing something that is considered repellent with a non-repellent would null this aspect of the product until its residual was gone.

    Q
    Can I mix Alpine WSG with Fipronil?
    Can I mix this product with Fipronil for outdoor use?
    A

    Alpine WSG does not need to be mixed with Fipronil. Fipronil can only be sprayed up a foot and out a foot from the foundation so if you are wanting to get more coverage, you do not want to mix the two together.

    Q
    Can Alpine WSG be used to treat roaches in my car? This is now the 2nd time I've had them and need to get rid of them.
    A

    No, Alpine WSG cannot be used in a car or vehicles. Maxforce Roach Bait Stations or the Advion Roach Bait Arenas can be used in vehicles for roaches. Bait stations need to be replaced every 2 weeeks unitl roach activity has stopped and depending on the infestation level, it will likely take several weeks to completely get rid of the roaches.

    Before treating, we recommend vacuuming the car thoroughly focusing on really getting deep into the cushions/seats, around the center consoles, floorboards,as well as under the seats and trunk area. Wipe down all surfaces (cupholders, consoles, seat adjusments, door panels, etc with an approved auto cleaner to remove any liquid residue. Keep the vehicle free from food, eating dishes or utensils, cups or water sources, clothing, bags, cardboard boxes, etc that will attract roaches.

    Q
    How far from bodies of water should Alpine WSG applications be applied?
    A

    Alpine is highly toxic to all aquatic life and should not be used near any bodies of water including rivers, ponds or lakes. Applications should be avoided in areas where any runoff or drainage could occur from irrigation or heavy rainfall.
