Here's 3 questions: 1. Once you spray, how long does the effectiveness last? 2. Can you spray it on countertops and if so, how long do you have to wait until you can put stuff out use your countertop again? 3. Once sprayed, do you have to leave the home for a few hours to not breathe it in? Thanks. You're amazing
Thanks so much for watching our video! Alpine WSG has a residual for 30-60 days, so if the pesticide is undisturbed, you should easily get 60 days of effectiveness. For safety reasons, you would be better to spray Alpine WSG in the cracks and crevices of your countertop rather than spraying the entire surface. You will also need to make sure any surface is thoroughly cleaned before any food or dishes come back in contact with it. As with most pesticide spray treatments, you will want to stay away from the area treated until it is completely dry, so for an inside spray around 2 hours to be safe. Remember you should always read the label before applying any pesticide because applications will vary from pest to pest. Hope this helps and thanks again for watching!
I only used half of the full gallon mixture of Alpine and an IGR. Can I store the remaining solution to retreat in 2 weeks as directed to treat for fleas or will the solution need to be discarded?
Hello! Alpine WSG will remain effective once properly mixed for 10-14 days. So to answer your question, you should be ok but don't wait longer than 14 days, although we do recommend only mixing what you plan to use, just to be safe.😁
You should wait at least 30 days after a spray treatment before applying a different pesticide product like Alpine WSG. This avoids any cross-contamination that may inhibit the pesticide from performing fully. Hope this helps and thanks so much for watching!!
There are several pesticides that are indoor and outdoor and labeled for a broad spectrum of pests, but not one that will cover insects and rodents. Sorry!
No, you do not need to leave the house after applying Alpine WSG. All you need to do is stay away from the area until the spray is completely dry, so maybe an hour or so. Hope this helps!
Alpine WSG is labeled for and will work well for bed bugs, you just want to keep in mind that Alpine WSG is spot or crack and crevice spray, you can not apply to mattresses. For mattress application you will want to go with a product like Bedlam Plus Aerosol: howtopest.com/product/bedlam-plus-aerosol/ or Crossfire Bed Bug Aerosol: howtopest.com/product/crossfire-aerosol/ Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Depending on the pest you are dealing with. For instance, if you have a heavy cockroach infestation then I would say definitely, yes. The IGR works as a security blanket, mutating the survivors so they cannot reproduce. If you are dealing with ants, then you can pass on using an IGR. Hope this helps! Thanks so much for watching our videos!
@@gg4sons17 They are all very good for the most part. Archer IGR tends to be one of our best sellers: howtopest.com/product/archer-insect-growth-regulator-igr/
How do you use this in conjunction with advion bait? Have lived in my apt for almost 3 years and never had an issue until new tenants moved in below me. Could be that or they had a leak from their washer into the basement. Also could be the dumpster my landlord placed in the driveway. Should I have my upstairs and downstairs neighbors use this as well?
You will want to spray treat with the Alpine WSG first and then allow the spray to dry before using the Advion bait. This ensures that there is no cross contamination. Thanks so much for watching our videos!
A DIY pest control store here in the Atlanta area said Advion bait could be used at the same time as a non repellent. The products aren’t used in the same spots or areas, correct? For example I took off light & plug covers and put smaller than a pea sized bait in there. Note: I live in a townhouse which I bought new 17 years ago and never had a pest problem other than one year ants were bad. My neighbor rented her’s out for a year and tenants apparently brought roaches!! 😤 Tenants now gone and she says she’ll never rent again. But I’ve seen like 3 in my kitchen! So I’ve had to figure out how they got to me. I’ve already warned my neighbor on the other side. No more townhomes for me! Minds well be in an apartment. I don’t like being subject to other’s choices! (But that’s life, right?)
Thank you for this video, i bought this recently , and after having two years of roach infestation, im seeing much less roaches,, ive been spraying in my kitchen and my bathroom for the past three days! I have bedbugs now, and i heard this is good for bedbugs, could you please tell me if its safe to spray it on my couch, and if so , how many times? I only see the bugs on my couch.
You can apply Alpine WSG to furniture joints/crevices but it is not labeled for broadcast or all over treatment on furniture or mattresses. You may want to go with Bedlam Plus or Kills Bed Bugs aerosols, which are labeled for this type of treatment. Hope this helps!
This morning , I literally found alot of dead roaches in my kitchen floor I had to sweep up! I am very pleased with this product, and also I notice no nasty odor at all like roach sprays have! Thanks again!
According to the Alpine WSG label, protective masks are not required. If you choose to wear a mask, you will want to find one that is rated for chemicals.
You talked about avoiding cross contamination; we’ve had terminix in the past, our last spray being in late June. Has enough time lapsed for us to lay down this product without worry of cross contamination?
My landlord refused to treat for pests so I put down alpine wsg in the kitchen and along all baseboards in rooms and bathrooms. I also placed Invict Gold roach gel bait in the cabinets and around the water supply of the toilets. And placed sticky traps in the kitchen under the fridge and stove and pantry. I couldnt afford gentrol to mix in but i did buy gentrol discs to place around Is this alright? But now 2 weeks later my landlord informed me he is having exterminators come out to spray the building. Should i inform the exterminator what i have used/done and will what i used interfere with the treatment they are going to do?
Read your lease. See who’s responsible for pests if it’s him send him the bill of what you paid. If not then tell him you sprayed.. only if it’s working though.
You are using some of the best professional products out there, and from what you're telling me your placement is perfect. As far as their product, it's hard to say not knowing what they use, if they do not cross-contaminate your bait with the spray, you should be good to go.
@@howtopest4680 thanks! Subbed. Quick follow-up re: prevention, i have a buddy flying up and staying w me for a week, i have crossfire and alpine, would it be effective or worth the time to spray around the house? I just know i wont have the time to deal w some sort of problem down the road
@@bldsprt518 ok great, yes a perimeter spray will be good as well as spraying the mattress seams and around the bed/room your friend will be staying in, just in case (bed bugs) 😮😮
Depending on the species of cockroach will determine whether you use 1 -3 packets per gallon. But yes, you can use up to 3 (10g. packets) per gallon of water. Hope this helps!😁
Yes, you can use Alpine WSG in conjunction with the Advion Cockroach Gel Bait. Since you already placed the bait, you will want to avoid spray treating the areas that you have placed the bait to avoid cross contamination. Next time, when you are ready to apply bait again, spray treat first, then let the Alpine WSG spray dry, then apply your bait.
You will need to read the product label (which we have on Howtopest.com) this will explain the mix rate depending on how you are treating and what you are treating for it varies. Hope this helps.
Because Ortho Home Defense is a repellant pesticide, you will want to wait 30 days before spaying Alpine WSG (non-repellant) in order for the Alpine WSG to most effective. Hope this helps and thanks so much for watching!
Yes, Alpine WSG will work for all different kinds of cockroaches. If you are dealing with a heavy cockroach infestation you may want to integrate a cockroach bait such as Vendetta or Advion Cockroach Bait. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the question. I don't know about Zevo, but if it is a repellant, you do not want to use a non-repellant like Alpine WSG with it. The reason non repellants work so well is that they are not trying to get away from the product, With Alpine WSG the ants walk over it and carry it back to the nest and share through grooming and interaction with the colony. Alpine WSG along with a bait are the best way to eliminate the colony.
I believe if u read the directions its 3grams ( bottom line of the measurer in the cap when u buy the bottle) per 4 litres In canada, u need a license to buy this.
@@howtopest4680 the mixed solution. I mixed my wsg 10g packet into the chapin 20000, sprayed indoors, then depressurized the chanister and let it sit. I know i csn reuse within 14 days. But how do i dispose of the remaining mixed solution. I cant just dump it out into our water system can I? The packet instructions say not to. Thanks!
Alpine WSG can definitely be a stand alone pesticide, but when you are dealing with an infestation of let's say cockroaches, an IGR mixed with the Alpine WSG can make a world of difference in really taking care of the problem in the long term.
Alpine WSG has a 30-60 day residual depending the application site, but it can be reapplied if necessary every 3 days for spot and crevice treatment and every 6 days for general service spray.
Hey thank you for your video, I ordered 500g wsg with a large infestation would you recommend 10g or 20g per gallon with Gentrol IGR? I also bought alpine gel stage one and two and Syngenta - 61596 Evolution Cockroach Gel Bait, advion 68663 Arena four 12ct Bag Cockroach Bait Station. How would you use and in what order?
Hi Chad! Sounds like you have what you need to get the job done right! I would start with 10 grams of Alpine WSG with the Gentrol first, let completely dry. Then follow up with the Alpine or Evolution Gel bait. Stick with one bait then rotate with the other bait about 3 months later to avoid bait resistance . You can place the Arenas at any time after the spray treatment. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

How long after the apartment pest control sprayed or my own sprayed stem/lemongrass+genariol should i wait until spraying alpine wsg?
You should wait at least 30 days after a spray treatment before applying a different pesticide product like Alpine WSG. This avoids any cross-contamination that may inhibit the pesticide from performing fully. Hope this helps and thanks so much for watching!!
Do you have a all in one, where it can go outside and inside. Where it can do flies, ants, mouses everything
There are several pesticides that are indoor and outdoor and labeled for a broad spectrum of pests, but not one that will cover insects and rodents. Sorry!

Do you recommend adding an IGR like Tekko Pro? Some say yes, others no adding why add more chemicals unnecessarily.

What kind of mask should i wear if any while applying
