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.

Please refer to the product label for complete mixing and application instructions.
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.
