  • Asked by Rachel from Atlanta
    01/26/2018
    Q
    How long after diluting Alpine WSG can I continue to use the solution?
    Do I have to use all of what I mixed right away?
    A

    While most insecticide concentrates need to be used within 24 hours of diluting, Alpine WSG solution can be used much longer. As long as the solution was agitated enough to mix completely, then you can use the solution for 10-14 days after diluting it.
