Alpine WSG is not suppose to stain surfaces. We would recommend contacting the manufacturer at 1 800 526-1072 for more information on this matter.
No, Alpine WSG is not labeled to target termites.
Please view our Termite Control Page for product recommendations to treat for Subterranean and Drywood Termites.
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.
Alpine WSG does not need to be mixed with Fipronil. Fipronil can only be sprayed up a foot and out a foot from the foundation so if you are wanting to get more coverage, you do not want to mix the two together.
It is not advised to mix the two residual insecticides Alpine WSG and Crossfire.
We are not medical professionals and we are not qualified to give medical advice. We recommend that your customer speaks to his doctor before Alpine WSG is sprayed.
Yes, Bifen LP Granules can be applied in the mulch beds and grass outside the perimeter of the foundation where the application of Alpine WSG and NyGuard IGR stops. These would not interfere with each other as long as the areas are not cross treated.
No, Alpine WSG cannot be used in a car or vehicles. Maxforce Roach Bait Stations or the Advion Roach Bait Arenas can be used in vehicles for roaches. Bait stations need to be replaced every 2 weeeks unitl roach activity has stopped and depending on the infestation level, it will likely take several weeks to completely get rid of the roaches.
Before treating, we recommend vacuuming the car thoroughly focusing on really getting deep into the cushions/seats, around the center consoles, floorboards,as well as under the seats and trunk area. Wipe down all surfaces (cupholders, consoles, seat adjusments, door panels, etc with an approved auto cleaner to remove any liquid residue. Keep the vehicle free from food, eating dishes or utensils, cups or water sources, clothing, bags, cardboard boxes, etc that will attract roaches.
The Alpine WSG uses Dinotefuran which is a non repellent so it is a slower kill but will transfer throughout the colony better than contact insecticides. Some may die sooner, those that directly contacted the treated area as opposed to those the active ingrdient was transferred to.
Alpine WSG is mixed at 30 grams per gallon of water. Per page 6 of the product label for yellow jackets, when treating nests inside wall voids, inject an amount sufficient to treat the entire nest. Most applications should require about ½ gallon of mixed solution. It also emphasizes that this product does NOT provide an instant knockdown.Alpine WSG uses soley the active ingredient Dinotefuran which is a Class 4A Neonicotinoid.
Demand Duo using Thiamethoxam (4A) and Lambda-cyhalothrin (3A) is referred to a “dual mode of action” insecticide meaning it contains 2 different class active ingredients which help prevent resistance or aversion that can develop with using the same class insecticide over a period of time.
Alpine WSG is not labeled for carpet beetles.
We would recommend our Carpet Beetle KIt for a complete treatment program using NyGuard Plus Aerosol and Cimexa Dust. Please review our Carpet Beetle Treatment Guide for more information.
Alpine is highly toxic to all aquatic life and should not be used near any bodies of water including rivers, ponds or lakes. Applications should be avoided in areas where any runoff or drainage could occur from irrigation or heavy rainfall.
EcoVia EC or Essentria IC3 are both options for treating insects around bodies of water without harming aquatic life. Please reivew the product labels for application rates and more information.
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.
Due to various factors that can vary from region to region, we would recommend contacting your local Cooperative Extension Office for this information that would have available for you.
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.
The active ingredient in Alpine WSG is Dinotefuran, which is a broad-spectrum insecticide, and is not comprised of essential oils.
