    Q
    How do i make my house inside inhospitable to leaf footed bugs?
    I have seen them in my attic and some in my living space. I also have a gold fish a small dog and 2 young kittens.
    A
    Unfortunately, there is no way to make your home any less "attractive" to leaf footed bugs because they may come indoors to wait out the winter. However, a preventative or remedial spraying of the attic and outside of the home would help kill any that may enter or try to enter. Alpine WSG is an excellent insecticide that can be used inside your home including the attic as well as outside with minimal toxicity. You can spray the exterior of your home paying close attension to windows, doors, and cracks and crevices.

    Q
    Product to kill the millions of tiny red ants on my paver patio?
    A
    Alpine WSG would be the only option that can be sprayed on the paver patio due to the recent pyrethroid changes to mapplication sites. Alpine WSG is a reduced risk non pyrethroid insecticide that is labeled for most ants, including fire, harvester, or carpenter ants which tend to be the most common red ants.

    Q
    Why are Pharaoh ants excluded from Alpine WSG label?
    A
    Alpine WSG is NOT labeled for pharoah ants because:
    • Baiting is the only effective method for elimination of control of Pharaoh Ants
    • Residual spray treatments are not effective with Pharaoh Ants because they result in the colony budding and contaminate bait stations.
    • Baits must be placed systematically (not randomly) in order to be effective
    • In buildings with severe infestation, total elimination may take up to a year of persistent baiting.

    Q
    Difference between Alpine WSG and Premise/Dominion 2L for ant control
    How does Alpine WSG and it's active ingredient compare to Premise/Dominion 2L and imidacloprid for ant control? Will one work better to eliminating a colony of ants with a single treatment?
    A

    The active ingredient Dinofeturan in Alpine WSG and Imidaclopirid in Dominion 2L will give you the same results. Both active ingredients are non repellents and effect the nervous system resulting in death. Dinofeturan products are mostly EPA Reduced Risk and are more versatile meaning you can you them indoors and outdoors. Imidacloprid is strictly to be used outside the home.

    Without knowing the specific type of ant you are treating for and if you're treating inside or outside the home, it is difficult to recommend one over the other. When treating for any species of ants, multiple treatments are usually required. Using a granule as a broadcast over the yard and liquid treatment against the structure will help not having to do monthly treatments. All this depends on the type of ant you are treating.

    For example: Termidor SC is labeled for Carpenter Ants, Crazy Ants, Argentine Ants and other ant  species including crazy rasberry ants and when applied as a perimeter treatment 1ft up and 1ft out from the structure can last 6 months. Talstar XTRA Granules is labeled for Ants (expect Pharoh Ants), including Carpenter Ants, & Imported Fire Ants. When applied as a broadcast over the entire lawn will last 2-4 months.

  • Asked by Steve from Mount Dora, Fl
    11/11/2014
    Q
    Can Alpine WSG be used as a systemic insecticide on plants?
    Because Alpine WSG uses the same active ingredient as some of the best plant insecticides (e.g., Safari), is seems logical that it should be usable in this application. The soluble powder in the sachets appear to be an economical and convenient way for a master gardener/homeowner to get the benefits of using this chemical without having the expense of purchasing a large amount of Safari in liquid form.
    A
    Alpine WSG is not labeled for use as a systemic product on plants and is only labeled for structural pest control in and around the outside of residences and commercial areas. We do not know if it would work for the purpose you intend as although it may be the same active ingredient, that does not mean it and its innert ingredients are formulated in a way that is not harmful to the tree if absorbed in the root system or to disperse in the way the Safari is made to work. Depending on the insect you are trying to treat for, there are many other products we recommend for insect control for those who know the Safari name and brand but are looking for a product that is more cost effective but equally as effective at controlling the pests. If you let us know what pest you are trying to control or prevent we can help find an alternative product for you.

  • Asked by Kyndall
    12/02/2014
    Q
    Can Alpine WSG be used in rain?
    A
    It is not recommended to use Alpine WSG while it is raining outdoors. This will wash the product away, and it will not be effective for the pests your are attempting to eliminate. We would recommend waiting until it has been down for at least 6 hours before it rains.

    01/07/2015
    Q
    When using Alpine WSG indoors, will it cause stress on the colony, causing it to split into sub-colonies?
    A
    Alpine WSG is a non-repellent, reduced-risk insecticide that is labeled for various insect species. The undetectable transferability to kill ants where they are found will prevent the colonies from splitting. When it is applied it is clear and has no odor. It has residual activity for 30-60 days. Please provide additional information on the insect that you are treating so we can offer more helpful tips for treatment.

  • Asked by Christopher
    05/25/2015
    Q
    Can you tell me about the active ingredient dinotefuran that is in Alpine WSG?
    I am interested in Alpine WSG but your web site has little to no information on it?
    A
    Dinotefuran, the active ingredient in Alpine WSG is a relatively new insecticide belonging to the class of insecticides known as neonicotinoids, which are among the most widely used insecticides in the world.  Dinotefuran products are labeled "Reduced-Risk" by the EPA, meaning they have very low toxicity and are generally safer around humans, pets and the environment. Dinotefuran is a central nervous system inhibitor.  Ingestion leads to death within a few hours.
