Alpine® WSG Water Soluble Granule Insecticide Now Approved for Use in Food-Handling Areas
Expanded labeling combined with new container size option gives PMPs greater flexibility for controlling pests
Research Triangle Park, N.C., April 29, 2015 — Cockroaches beware -- pest management professionals (PMPs) can now use the Alpine® WSG Water Soluble Granule Insecticide to control difficult pests in food-handling areas, such as commercial kitchens.
With new expanded labeling for food-handling areas, Alpine WSG insecticide can now be applied in most common indoor or outdoor settings to control insect pests, such as ants, bed bugs, fleas and house flies. The expanded labeling also gives PMPs greater flexibility to control German cockroaches, the primary insect pest in commercial kitchens.
“This is great news for the many PMPs who have already adopted Alpine WSG insecticide for residential ant control” said Brian Mann, Marketing Manager. “PMPs can now expand their use of Alpine WSG to restaurants and food processing areas with confidence.”
Undetectable to cockroaches, Alpine WSG insecticide doesn’t displace or repel them from their harborages, allowing for cockroaches to cross or rest directly on treated surfaces. Alpine WSG insecticide does not interfere with baiting treatments, which enables more effective cockroach control.
BASF is also now making the Alpine WSG insecticide available in a new 200-gram tip-and-pour bottle. For PMPs who use 500 gram bottles, a supplemental label is available in all states except California. The additional container size gives PMPs a more affordable and convenient option to meet a wider range of business needs.
