Alpine WSG is a water-soluble granule insecticide that is effective against a variety of pests like ants, fleas, cockroaches, stink bugs, and more! It is a non-repellent and non-pyrethroid. The 10g packet makes 1 gallon of finished solution.
Once you've prepared your property for your pest control treatment, its time to apply your Alpine WSG Insecticide.
The best time to apply your pest control treatment is on a calm day, when there is no wind, and when rain is not expected for 24 hours before or after you spray. This will help maximize your perimeter pest protection.
Before getting started, put on your personal protective equipment, including long-sleeves, long pants, socks, closed-toe shoes and chemical-resistant gloves.
In a clean sprayer, mix one packet of Alpine WSG with water to make one gallon of finished solution.
Start by filling your sprayer tank ½ full of water. Then, add the Alpine WSG packet. Add the other half gallon of water while agitating to make 1 gallon of finished solution.
Depending on the amount of finished solution required to spray the perimeter of your structure, you may need to repeat this step for each gallon.
Now that you have mixed your insecticide, it is time to spray.
First, you'll want to spray around the foundation. Using a coarse spray, apply a continual band up to 10 feet around the foundation. For example, a 10 feet band can be 7 feet out and 3 feet up, or 5 feet out and 5 feet up. You'll want to make sure you apply enough spray cover the surfaces without having excessive dripping or runoff, and spray enough over any ground coverings to reach through to the soil.
After you've sprayed around the foundation, apply around window frames, around door frames, around vents, and where cables, pipes, and wires enter the structure.
You can also spray the underside of eaves, roof overhangs, and soffits.
You can apply Alpine WSG to impervious surfaces like paved driveways, concrete landings, sidewalks, or patios.
Avoid spraying into gutters, where the spray could run-off into storm drains or drainage ditches, and around wells and well houses.
After you've finished applying your Alpine perimeter spray, follow the manufacturer's instructions to clean your sprayer.
