Alpine WSG Insecticide

Alpine WSG Insecticide, manufactured by BASF, is an effective water-soluble granule insecticide that targets pests within residential and commercial properties. 

It is powered by the non-repellent active ingredient dinotefuran 40.0%, which allows a broad spectrum of pests, such as ants and cockroaches, to enter treated areas. This prevents pests from being trapped inside, thus allowing a majority of the population to contact treated areas. Pests like cockroaches can rest on treated surfaces, leading to better contact and kills from prolonged exposure.  

Alpine WSG Insecticide is a dependable, non-repellent insecticide that ensures that applications have a pest-free space from either contact kill or transfer effect with minimum interval restrictions. 

Tools Needed

You will need either a handheld sprayer or a backpack sprayer.

Do not apply in outdoor residential misting systems.

How to Use

• Step 1: Inspect the area to see where your target pest is active and note those places, as this is where the spray treatment will be focused. Determine how much Alpine WSG Insecticide to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). Alpine WSG Insecticide is available in pre-measured packets or a water-soluble granules bottle. For a 0.1% concentration, Alpine WSG Insecticide is mixed at a rate of 0.35 oz. in a gallon of water to treat 1,000 sq. ft. For a 0.2% dilution, the rate is 0.70 oz. per 1,000 sq. ft., and for 0.3% dilution, the rate is 1.05 oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. Use the higher concentrations for severe infestations or certain target pests. So, for example, if you have 2,000 sq. ft. of measured area to treat and want a 0.1% ratio, you will need to mix 0.70 oz. of Alpine WSG Insecticide in 2 gallons of water.
• Step 2: Add about half of the water to the spray tank. Add the appropriate Alpine WSG Insecticide to the water, then fill the spray tank. Agitate the tank until the product is completely dissolved, then you are ready to spray.
• Step 3: Apply the Alpine WSG Insecticide spray mixture as a perimeter treatment outdoors (around weeping holes, door and window frames, eaves, bushes, foliage, etc.) or directly to wasps' nests and anthills. Indoors, apply as a crack and crevice application in pest hiding places and points of entry depending on the target pest (void areas, under sinks and refrigerators, carpets, upholstered furniture, etc.). Reapply the Alpine WSG spray for continued control every month or so.
