    Q
    About how long does it take to start seeing results on ants with using Alpine WSG?
    Applied as crack and crevice treatment along the outside of my house. Have an odorous ant problem. I read it might take up to 3 or 4 weeks but how soon does it start killing the ants?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Is Alpine WSG safe to spray down a sink drain?
    A friend of mine told me I could use it to kill gnats and flys if I spray it down the drain but I don't think that could possibly be safe to do.
    A
    We would not recommend spraying Alpine WSG down a drain. If you want something to use in a drain we would recommend InVade Bio Drain or Invade Hot Spot Plus

    we want to give our crepe mytle a soil drench to control bark scale. Can we use these to disolve in water and creat the drench? If so what dilution is apropriate?
    A
    No, Alpine WSG cannot be used as a systemic product in a soil drench. You may use Safari 20SG as a soil drench for your trees if you would like a product that contains dinotefuran.

    Q
    For an apartment with german roaches, what product would work best in rotation with Alpine WSG?
    A
    We suggest that you refer to our Cockroach Treatment Guide, and our Roach Control Kits for a better understanding of what we recommend for successful roach elimination, including non-chemical practices like proper sanitation.  You should be adding a Roach Bait and Roach IGR to your spray treatment with Alpine WSG, if you want to achieve the best results in your roach treatment plan.

    Q
    How long do I agitate Alpine WSG?
    A

    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.

    Does Alpine WSG stain surfaces?
    Customer claiming this stained her granite counter top. No other customers have had issues, anyone else seen, I can see dark lines in the granite, but my sprayer puts out a wider pattern than the stain line. I'm thinking she used a bad cleaning product and is trying to blame me.

    Q
    Would Alpine WSG work for Indian meal moths?
    I know the label says that it alpine wsg kills stored product pests. Does that include Indian meal moths?
    A

    We do not recommend using Alpine WSG for treating Indian Meal Moths since they are not specifically listed on the product label. 

    When treating for Indian Meal Moths, we would recommend using our Pantry Pest Kit that contains D Fense NXT Aerosol and Pheromone Traps that can be used in combination to eliminate an infestation .

    Do not use more than 2 Pheremone Traps at one time in the home as this will overstimulate the moths and cause confusion preventing them from locating the trap. 

    View our Indian Meal Moth Guide for more information.

    Q
    Can you mix Alpine WSG with Permacap CS, or Cyzmic CS?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Alpine WSG has Groundwater Advisory mentioned on the product label, how can we be sure this wont leak into groundwater and contaminate?
    A

    Alpine WSG *Dinotefuran) has strong potential to leach to the subsurface under certain conditions as a result of label use therefore we would recommend contacting your County Extension Office or State Regulatory Office for their regulations on the approved distance around wells when applying insecticides.

    Per the Alpine WSG product label, using this product where soil is permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination.
