When used as directed on the product label, Conquer is safe to spray in a kitchen. Ants are especially difficult to get rid of. This is because an ant colony can reproduce new ants almost faster than you can kill them. Conquer will only kill the ants it touches. The key though to ant removal is eliminating the nest. Most of the time you have no idea where the nest is. So, you have to use a product that will not kill the ants right away so they will take it back to the colony and spread it around, eliminating the source. This is where ant baits come in. Ant baits are a food source that the ants in your kitchen will eat and take back to the colony. It will not kill them right away. This is the only true way to eliminate your ant problem is to kill them at the source. If you do not kill the colony, you will continue to battle them all summer. One important note is you need to stop spraying the Conquer until you get some ant bait, and do not spray until after your ants are gone. If you continue to spray the Conquer, the ants will die before they get back to the colony with the bait. Our most popular ant elimination product is our Complete Ant Kit. It comes with an ant granular bait to apply outside around the house, and a gel bait to apply in your kitchen. It has a very high success rate and is our most popular ant kit.
