  • Asked by Ashley from Pershing, In
    06/14/2017
    Q
    What product would work best for sugar ants in a restaurant that invade the customers booths, Tandem or Alpine WSG?
    A

    You could use either Alpine WSG or Tandem Insecticide as a perimeter spray outside around the building and as a spot spray inside when the business is closed and customers are not in the area. We would also recommend using a sweet ant bait such as Advion Ant Bait Gel or Maxforce Quantum Ant Bait in the cracks and crevices where you are seeing ant trails. Baits have food attractants and get carried throughout the ant colony. Be sure to practice good sanitation to remove any food crumbs or scraps from around the booths to prevent future infestations, as well.

    05/24/2017
    Q
    Can Alpine WSG be used as a systemic insecticide?
    A

    While Alpine WSG contains the same active ingredient as other products, this formulation is not designed to be used in systemic applications and is only for use as a surface application for the listed pests.  For systemic applications using Dinotefuran you would need Safari or Zylam.

  • Asked by Kevin from Spokane, Wa
    03/27/2017
    Q
    Does Alpine WSG work on carpet beetles?
    If not, do you have another suggestion for a broadcast treatment of a large carpeted area for carpet beetles?
    A

    Alpine WSG is not labeled for carpet beetles. You can use Onslaught Insecticide. It is one of the few insecticides that can be applied in a broadcast application over carpeting. It should also be used in cracks and crevices, along baseboards and areas beetles may hide. You will mix 1 oz of Onslaught per 1 gallon of water. NyGuard Plus is an IGR we also recommend when treating for carpet beetles, due to its long lasting residual. You may want to take a look at our article on Carpet Beetle Pest Control for more tips and information on treating and preventing this pest.

  • 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 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 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.

  • Asked by Jason from Temecula,ca
    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.

    A
    Alpine WSG should be applied and dried prior to a rainfall. It will have residual activity for 30-60 days. If it was applied just prior to a downpour, you will need to reapply the product. Please let us know if you have any questions.

  • 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.

  • 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 Brian from Az
    09/30/2014
    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.
