What they wish it did
Capabilities people described needing that Alpine Wsg does not give them, taken from the highest-scoring problems first. These are individual accounts written in each person’s own terms, so two entries may describe the same underlying gap in different words.
- Guided void inspection and treatment planning tool that provides visibility into enclosed spaces
- Algorithm to predict ant colony locations based on trail patterns and treatment history
- Pest identification and treatment recommendation app with bait acceptance data for common ant species
- Integrated pest management system that monitors moisture sources and alerts homeowner
- Smart bait station that automatically adjusts to ant behavior (water vs food)
- Guided pest identification and safe product recommendation tool
- Entry point detection assistance with instructional checklist and photo logging
What they do instead
The manual processes people built around the gap. A long workaround list is the strongest evidence a problem is real: someone is already paying for it in time. Where several people described the same workaround, it is marked.
- uses Alpine WSG and Advion gel repeatedly without success
- applies Termidor outside with limited effect
- relies on technician's guess about wall void contents
- mixes DIY bait (boric acid and sugar) aiming for 25% sugar concentration
- puts out sweet baits and meaty baits to test acceptance
- plans to switch to Alpine WSG spray if bait fails
- rinsing off trash cans weekly to remove water source
- applying repellent (Ortho) inside every 3 days
- mixing Alpine WSG and applying outside perimeter
- considering leaving a bucket of water outside
- sprays Alpine WSG along baseboards without knowing entry point
- crushing ants manually
- checking activity after rain to guess moisture source

Read this fairly
These are complaints, and only complaints — nobody posts to say their software worked. A high count mostly reflects how many people use Alpine Wsg at all, so this page is not a quality judgement and should not be read as one. What it is good for is the shape of the gaps: the specific jobs people could not get done, which are the same whether the tool is popular or not.
