    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

    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
    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.

    Q
    What is the difference between Alpine WSG and Temprid FX?
    I will be spraying the interior of my apartment for cockroaches (American and german). Which would be best for this?
    A

    Alpine WSG  and Temprid FX contain different active ingredients.  Alpine WSG is water soluble granule whereas Temprix FX is a liquid concentrate. They are both labeled for cockroaches (as a portion of the treatment of this pest) if used as directed to listed areas. We do offer the Temprid FX in our Roach Control Kits here. For a successful roach control program, please check out our article here.

  • Asked by Ali from New York, Ny
    10/04/2022
    Q
    After applying Alpine WSG to baseboards, will it become active if they contact water?
    For example, if I were to mop and the mop touches baseboards, or if I used it on the bathroom baseboards and water came into contact from tub spillage or condensation?
    A

    Once the Alpine WSG has been applied and has completely dried, it will not reconstitute if it gets wet again.  Alpine WSG has residual activity of 30 to 60 days for most applications.  Now if you are mopping up in areas where you had applied your product, then you would have just removed any residual that was there.  We usually recommend mopping your floors first, and then applying the product so that you will have the lasting residual.

  • Asked by Shelle from Edmonds, Wa
    10/03/2022
    Q
    How long after applying Alpine WSG does it take to see results if spraying outdoors over sugar ant trail?
    Hours after spraying sugar ant trails they are still active. How long for knockdown to be noticeable. Sprayed outdoors.
    A

    Alpine WSG is a non repellent insecticide therefore will not provide an immediate or quick knockdown of insects. Non repellents are slower acting which is best for social insects such as ants, roaches, etc as it allows the ants to transfer the active ingredient throughout the colony. 

    This product leaves a 30 to 60 day residual outdoors. Applications should be made to any trails, inside or outside, around doors and windows and other places where ants may enter premises. 

    For indoor applications, using  Alpine WSG along with both an ant bait gel (sweet) and granule bait (protein) in bait plate stations is a very effective treatment.

  • 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
    Alpine not working
    Alpine was sprayed twice but a few roaches survived. I don't think additional spray of Alpine would work. If I want to switch to temprid SC, how long do I need to wait before spraying temprid on the same crack and crevices?
    A

    We would recommend waiting 30 days after an application of  Alpine WSG  before applying a secondary product. For best roach control, we would recommend one of our roach control kits. It contains all the products needed for best control.

    Q
    Can I use Alpine WSG in the same sprayer as Termidor?
    A
    Termidor SC is not labeled to be tank mixed with other products, so we would not recommend mixing this product with Alpine WSG.

    Q
    Mixing question
    I don't want to buy a one gallon spray bottle. Can I mix it using a 16 oz spray bottle? If so, how?
    A

    Alpine WSG is a solid concentrate - a water-soluble granule - so it is measured in grams or ounces rather than milliliters. You will use 10 g, 20 g, or 30 g of Alpine WSG per gallon of water, depending on the pest you are treating. That would break down to 1.25 g, 2.5 g, or 3.75 g per 16 oz of water. Please refer to the product label for complete mixing and application instructions.

    Q
    Can Alpine WSG be used for mosquito control if kept off flowering vegetation?
    The label says that this can be used for mosquito control. Just want to make sure it's advisable. There is the potential groundwater contamination warning on the label. Would Barricor SP be a better choice?
    A

     Alpine WSG is labeled to treat mosquitoes at 20 grams per gallon of water. Per the product label, apply to shrubbery and vegetation where mosquitos may rest around the perimeter of the home. This can also be applied as a direct wet spray to shrubs and vegetation around stagnant pools. marchy areas, ponds, and shorelines. 

    Do not apply to flowering blooms when bees or pollinators are active in the area as this product is toxic to bees exposed to residues for more than 38 hrs following the treatment. 

    View our Mosquito Treatment Guide for more information and our Mosquito Control Kits that offer a variety of treatment plans.
