  • Asked by Juan from San Antonio
    01/08/2020
    Q
    Can Alpine WSG be used in an actisol machine for German roaches?
    Is this product labeled for fogging? Read the entire label but I need reassurance.
    A

    Alpine WSG cannot be used in any type of fogging equipment.  Actisol units are not foggers though, they just apply products like an aerosol application and since the Alpine WSG dissolves completely you can use in the machine.

    Per the manufacturer: 

    Alpine can be delivered using an Actisol machine. However, we would recommend the user pre mix the solution in a 1 gallon container and not in the Actisol tank.

    MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:

    Thoroughly clean spray equipment before mixing and application of this product. Add approximately 1/2 of the water to the 1 gallon container. Tear open the packet and add contents to water, then complete the filling of the spray tank. Agitate the solution until the product is completely dissolved. Reagitate finished dilution if application is interrupted for an extended period of time or if dilution is left in tank overnight.

    DO NOT LEAVE UNUSED FORMULATION IN THE ACTISOL TANK FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

    BACKFLUSH THE HOSE AND WAND AFTER EACH USE AND RETURN UNUSED FORMULATION THE MIXING CONTAINER. (Instructions can be found in the operations manual for the Actisol machine)

    REAGITATE FORMULATION BEFORE EVERY USE.

    DO NOT FILL MORE THAN 20-24 oz. OF FORMULATION TO THE ACTISOL TANK.

    Q
    Why are Pharaoh ants excluded from Alpine WSG label?
    A
    Alpine WSG is NOT labeled for pharoah ants because:
    • Baiting is the only effective method for elimination of control of Pharaoh Ants
    • Residual spray treatments are not effective with Pharaoh Ants because they result in the colony budding and contaminate bait stations.
    • Baits must be placed systematically (not randomly) in order to be effective
    • In buildings with severe infestation, total elimination may take up to a year of persistent baiting.

  • Asked by Dave from California

    Q
    Can Alpine WSG be applied while it's raining?
    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.

    Q
    Repeated flea reinfestation of washed and sealed clthing, can i use it to wash clothes, and seal it fora while
    For repeated flea reinfestation of washed and sealed clthing, clothes be washedwith and seal it for a while before final washing post infestation? I cant wash all of My clothes every few days... for some reason im having repeated clothes reinfestation (after washing and drying).
    A
    Alpine WSG cannot and should not be used to treat clothing. Heavy Flea infestations should treated every 14 days along with frequent vacuuming multiple times a week. Contents of the vacuum should be placed in a trash bag and removed immediately after. 

    Treating the exterior of the home would be suggested as the infestation may be coming from the lawn outside. Please review our  How to Get Rid of Fleas Treatment Guide for more information.

  • Asked by Courtney from Roseville, Ca
    07/23/2021
    Q
    How long will it take Alpine WSG to kill off cockroaches and spiders? I'm using Archer IGR also.
    When should I spray again? Should I add anything else? I have several different kinds of roaches I think.
    A

    Alpine WSG https://www.domyown.com/alpine-wsg-p-2876.html has a residual of 30-60 days so retreatment may be done after 30 days. How long it takes to kill insects depends on a few factors such as age and health of the insect, how long they spend on the treated surface and how soon after application they contact it.  How long it takes to eliminate a roach infestation depends on how large the infestation is, how consistent and thorough you are being with treatments and what products you are using.  There is not a set time; it can take but it can take weeks or months even to get complete control. Alpine WSG is typically not used alone but in combination with other products. We would recommend one of our roach control kits. You can see the kits by clicking on the link here. We also have a great article for eliminating them that can offer some great advice; you can find it here.

  • 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.
