Because Alpine WSG is a non-repellent that works by slowly allowing the targeted ants to transfer the active ingredient around to eliminate the colony, the results will not be immediate. As long as the ant gets enough of the product on their body, it should kill them in a matter of days or weeks.
For spot applications, crack and crevice or void treatments, retreatments can be done at 3 day intervals if needed or for general surface treatments, retreat at 6 day intervals.
Please view the full product label for more information.
Alpine WSG is applied at 1 to 3 packets (10g) per one gallon of water depending on the insects you are targeting.

According to the mixing instructions on the manufacturer's label for Alpine WSG, you should add approximately 1/2 of the water to the spray tank, add the product to the water, then complete filling the spray tank. You should then agitate the tank unit until the product is completely dissolved. Reagitate the finished dilution if application is interrupted for an extended period of time.
This water soluble granule insecticide should not need excessive agitation, but should be agitated thoroughly to ensure that it goes into solution completely before applying.

While there is a not a specific indication on the Alpine WSG label that you cannot mix it with other insecticides, we do not recommend mixing Alpine WSG with another residual insecticide such as Permacap CS or Cyzmic CS. This is because the Alpine WSG is a non-repellent insecticide, so mixing it with another residual insecticide would negate those non-repellent/transfer effects for social insects such as ants. Depending on the target pets(s), using these products in rotation would be more practical.
Due to various factors that can vary from region to region, we would recommend contacting your local Cooperative Extension Office for this information that would have available for you.
