Unfortunately Alpine WSG excludes fire ants but is labeled for roaches. Advion WDG Insecticide is labeled for ants in general with no exclusions & is also labeled for roaches
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
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
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.
Alpine WSG is used at 10 g per gallon of water and applied with a spray as directed. It cannot be fogged.
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.
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.
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.
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.
View page 7 for more information on the product label.
Alpine WSG is not labeled to have a transfer effect like Phantom Termiticide Insecticide.
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.

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.
A single pack of Alpine WSG is applied to a gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft.
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.
