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.
Alpine WSG can be used around homes as a perimeter spray but not on anything edibles, you should keep applications at least 10 feet away from edible plants.
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.

There really would be no reason to tank mix Alpine WSG with Cy-Kick CS or Taurus. They both are considered adulticides, but with different active ingredients. Exciter is meant to be added to insecticides to only give a faster initial knockdown and would not be good as a boost 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 its residual was gone.
Yes, you can add an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) to Alpine WSG. If you would like to tell us the pest(s) you are targeting, then we are happy to recommend a specific product for you.
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.

When treating indoors for flea, you should do a thorough vacuuming of the home first before any treatments are made so that you can suck up any dead or alive fleas, as well as flea feces and eggs that are present. Remove couch cushions to vacuum underneath, and any other areas the pets frequent in the home. Once thoroughly vacuumed you can apply an insecticide labeled for indoor flea treatments, such as the Alpine WSG, and focus applications to heavily infested carpets, rugs, etc. After the product has had sufficient time to dry, its recommend to start vacuuming every couple of days until your next treatment (14 days later) to help remove any fleas dying from the insecticide, as well as to help stimulate any eggs that have not hatched to be exposed to the product you have put down. Continue this process until the flea infestation is gone.
