  • 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 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.

    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 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.

  • Asked by Robert from Little Egg Harbor
    01/15/2018
    Q
    How many milliliters of Alpine WSG do I need to mix in 16 oz of water?
    For the B&G 16 oz sprayer.
    A

    Alpine WSG is a solid concentrate - a water-soluble granule - so it is measured in grams or ounces rather than milliliters. You will use 10 g, 20 g, or 30 g of Alpine WSG per gallon of water, depending on the pest you are treating. That would break down to 1.25 g, 2.5 g, or 3.75 g per 16 oz of water. Please refer to the product label for complete mixing and application instructions.

  • Asked by Rachel from Atlanta

    Q
    How long after diluting Alpine WSG can I continue to use the solution?
    Do I have to use all of what I mixed right away?
    A

    While most insecticide concentrates need to be used within 24 hours of diluting, Alpine WSG solution can be used much longer. As long as the solution was agitated enough to mix completely, then you can use the solution for 10-14 days after diluting it.

    According to the label, Alpine WSG cannot be applied to the mattress. Keep in mind that the label is the law. If you'd like something safe to spray over the mattress, you can use something like Steri-Fab.
