Product Overview

Alpine WSG (water soluble granule) is a non-pyrethroid, non-repellent broad-spectrum insecticide that controls a wide range of common home pests.  This long lasting professional-grade bug killer can be used to control insects such as ants, fleas, bed bugs, house flies, cockroaches (including American roaches, German roaches and Turkestan roaches), brown marmorated stink bugs, kudzu bugs, and more.  Alpine WSG water soluable granule insecticde provides long lasting pest control, with residual activity of 30 to 60 days for most applications.  

Alpine WSG contains the active ingredient Dinotefuran, which has been granted Reduced Risk status for public health use by the EPA.  It can be used in a variety of locations around the home, including in attics and eaves; on exterior hard surfaces like sidewalks, driveways, patios and porches; on full exterior sides of buildings; indoors on carpets, rugs, floors, upholstered furniture, pet beds and resting areas; and outdoors off structure in yards, lawns, and landscaping areas as a broadcast application for fleas and ants.

    Wow!

    By David on 04/30/2017

    So, been in the pest control industry for 8 years. Ants have really become an issue. When I started years ago, we used Suspend Sc for interior, and Dragnet SFR on exterior for ants. FYI not a good idea using repellents on ants. Switched to a interior phantom/ exterior termidor. It works great, but you are limited to two applications of .06 concentration, or four .03 a year. Had to find something that I could use more often on customers homes who had moisture issues/ conducive conditions. Then I found Alpine WSG. This is the first non repellent that I could use inside and outside, and re apply with minimal restrictions. It truly eliminates ants when used per label. Thank you BASF, for creating something so effective.

    Kills German Cockroaches dead

    By Mark on 08/02/2019

    I used on a fully infested house last week (thousands in one room- ugh) and it knocked them dead in about 5-15 seconds on direct application . There were more entrenched survivors days later - I used a variety of things (new tenants moving in 10 days later) including Suspend - which didnt kill on direct application and Talstar outside which also didn't kill when sprayed directly on the insects. Alpine was the one I felt had the best short and long term results. I found a huge nest in the range and they were all dead by then, though not certain if it was the alpine or the foggers used later (4 times) that got them. Infested 4 year old range went to landfil - it could not be deodorized effectively - no regrets and good riddance. Another nest in Fridge they loved the defrost pan (water supply) entire fridge disassembled and steam cleaned. Lesson learned, Germans roaches will eventually destroy a house because the dead roaches must be removed to remove the odor and they are not always accessible. I was lucky mine were in accessible places.

    Highly recommended

    By Jay on 08/21/2015

    Alpine WSG was easiest to use of the several different insecticides we have tried. It dissolved quickly and completely, tank mixed great with other needed chemicals, and is very effective on the bugs we were targeting. We have used it with much success on fleas, mosquitos, and deer flies on different occasions.

    Verdict's not in Yet Still Testing

    By Stephanie on 03/27/2015

    Verified Purchase

    I used the Alpine WSG alongside the Martins IGR (one gallon) for stubborn flea population in my apartment I inherited (I don't have a pet). Since the flea infestation is so severe, I will need another treatment to be sure the combo worked. However it does look VERY promising as the FLEA BITING HAS STOPPED after just one application. Imagine if I had two gallons instead of the one.

Q
Can Alpine WSG kill no-see-ums?

I've been having a problem with no CMS for 8 months and can't find anything to kill them

A
Alpine WSG is not labeled for noseeums/gnats.  We would recommend using Talstar P. It is a very good general insecticide that is labeled for noseeums. This can be broadcast across your lawn, sprayed on bushes, trees, flowers, etc. It should not be sprayed on water or any type of edible. You can use Talstar P as a broadcast spray over your lawn, sprayed on bushes, trees, flowers, etc. It should not be sprayed on water or any type of edible. You want to concentrate on areas where see a lot of activity. Talstar P will not keep new gnats away, but it should eliminate the gnats that land of the treated surface.

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.

Q
Can Alpine WSG be mixed with ExciteR for roaches?
A

Alpine WSG can be mixed with a synergist such as ExciteR Insecticide but it is not generally recommended. ExciteR kills on contact while Alpine WSG leaves a non repellent residual that they take back with them. If you kill them too soon they will not have a chance to take it back with them 

Was this answer helpful to you?  YesNo

Q
Can Alpine WSG work for no see ums?
A

Alpine WSG  is not labeled for gnats or midges. You may consider using Talstar P Professional Insecticide instead. It will leave a 30 day residual outdoors that will control noseeums that come in contact with treated areas

Q
Is it safe to put alpine wsg on my windowsill?

I read we should spray cracks by windows as well as that can be an entry point. My cats like sitting on the sill so I wasn't sure if this would be safe for the cats. Of course I would wait to let them in after it dried (probably at least 6hrs maybe even a full day) but I was just curious if once it dried it would be a problem for them to be there.

A
Yes, you may spray Alpine WSG on the windowsill. Just keep your pets out of the area while applying & they may return once the product has dried. Once dry, the product will not reactivate

Q
Why I see more riches activity after 2 days after applied Alpine WSG?
A

If you are noticing more roach activity than usual, it is because immediately after beginning treatments, they will try to escape from the chemicals that are killing them. 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.

Q
can you use alpine wsg on lawns
A
Yes, Alpine WSG  is labeled for residential turf

Q
Alpine WSG effect on autoimmune disorders

I have a metabolic disorder, Sjogrens and IBS. Will the product used against German roaches cause further damage to my health? Can I use my kitchen after it is sprayed? (I understand I need to spray the doors of cabinets, where I often touch)

A
We apologize for the inconvenience, but we cannot give any medical advise pertaining to Alpine WSG or any other product. We would recommend speaking with your doctor for the best advice if you are concerned about sensitivity/reaction.
