    Q
    Can you mix Alpine WSG with another pesticide to kill and control carpenter bees?
    A

    Alpine WSG Insecticide is not labeled to control carpenter bees, so we would recommend using a different product rather than mixing the Alpine with another product. If you are looking for a combination product that includes a non-repellent for control of carpenter bees, then Temprid FX would be a great option. We also have insecticide spray and dust included in our Carpenter Bee Control Kit.

  • Asked by Juan from San Antonio

    Q
    Can Alpine WSG be used in an actisol machine for German roaches?
    Is this product labeled for fogging? Read the entire label but I need reassurance.
    A

    Alpine WSG cannot be used in any type of fogging equipment.  Actisol units are not foggers though, they just apply products like an aerosol application and since the Alpine WSG dissolves completely you can use in the machine.

    Per the manufacturer: 

    Alpine can be delivered using an Actisol machine. However, we would recommend the user pre mix the solution in a 1 gallon container and not in the Actisol tank.

    MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:

    Thoroughly clean spray equipment before mixing and application of this product. Add approximately 1/2 of the water to the 1 gallon container. Tear open the packet and add contents to water, then complete the filling of the spray tank. Agitate the solution until the product is completely dissolved. Reagitate finished dilution if application is interrupted for an extended period of time or if dilution is left in tank overnight.

    DO NOT LEAVE UNUSED FORMULATION IN THE ACTISOL TANK FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

    BACKFLUSH THE HOSE AND WAND AFTER EACH USE AND RETURN UNUSED FORMULATION THE MIXING CONTAINER. (Instructions can be found in the operations manual for the Actisol machine)

    REAGITATE FORMULATION BEFORE EVERY USE.

    DO NOT FILL MORE THAN 20-24 oz. OF FORMULATION TO THE ACTISOL TANK.

    Q
    How long should a pregnant woman stay out of the house after Alpine WSG is sprayed?
    There is no ventilation in the house. (It's actually being sprayed in a clinic).
    A

    We recommend that only the applicator is present during the application of Alpine WSG. Once the surfaces treated are completely dried it is safe to return. You will want to make sure that is ventilated as much as possible and return about 2-4 hours later.

    Q
    How long after I apply Alpine WSG will it begin to kill cockroaches?
    A

    When applying insecticides such as Alpine WSG, the knockdown rate will be depend on how long the insect stayed on a treated surface and the age and health of the insects. In most cases, you can expect death in 24-72 hours. Please review our How to Get Rid of Roach Treatment Guide for steps on a successful treatment program.

    Q
    Does Alpine WSG contaminate fish tanks?
    I had my house sprayed and have fish tanks which I covered but ever since one tank almost instantly kills everything (in a matter of hours) no matter how much I clean and reset it up
    A

    Alpine WSG is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. All fish tanks should be tightly covered prior to the application. You may want to contact the company that did the application and inquire if the tank might have been sprayed inadvertently.

    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.

    There really would be no reason to tank mix Alpine WSG with Cyper WSG. They both are considered adulticides, just different active ingredients.

  • Asked by John from Christiansburg, Va
    12/21/2019
    Q
    Does Alpine WSG also work to elimate gnats?
    A

    Alpine WSG is not specifically labeled for gnats. “Gnats” is a very general term used to describe a wide variety of small flying pests including fruit flies, drain flies, fungus gnats, no-see-ums, mosquitoes, etc. You can use a general insecticide like Talstar P on the outside of your home on all the window and door frames and on window screens to try and prevent pests from entering your home. We cannot give more specific information or treatment products unless we know exactly what species of pest you are dealing with so that we can narrow down where the problem is coming from and address it directly. Please review our Getting Rid of Gnats article for more information.

  • Asked by Armando from Ohio
    06/08/2016
    Q
    Can I apply Alpine WSG as a trunk spray instead of Safari?
    I was thinking about using this as a substitute for Safari until I read your answer to a similar question. The answer stated "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". Could you please provide a couple of alternatives for a basal bark treatment against EAB? Thanks
    A

    Alpine WSG is not labeled for emerald ash borers in this particular formulation. We do have other products with a different active ingredient in it that can be used for a basal trunk treatment, such as Adonis 2F Insecticide. Be sure to check the label on the specifics on how much should be used per gallon of water.

  • Asked by Walter from Plainfield, Nj
    07/19/2016
    Q
    If I don't have CB-80, can I mix Alpine WSG with Exciter to act as flushing agent?
    A

    Exciter is meant to be added to insecticides to only give a faster initial knockdown and would not be good as a flushing agent with Alpine WSG which is a non-repellent insecticide.  Mixing something that is considered repellent with a non repellent would null this aspect of the product until it's residual was gone.

  • Asked by Dave from California
    02/01/2019
    Q
    Can Alpine WSG be applied while it's raining?
    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.
