Droll Yankees Ant Moat 3/4 Cup Ant Deterrent for Hummingbird Feeders, Red

Keeps the ants out of the hummer feeder

Everyday I would go outside and see ants crawling all over my hummingbird feeder. Everyday, I would try my best to figure out how to stop the madness!! I tried numerous things, but a few days later, the ants would return. I searched the internet and found this product. I ordered it and OMG this is genius!! I laugh every time I see it out there at work! No more ants, it is incredible! My hummingbirds love it too, because they don't have to battle the ants either. Buy this if you have an ant problem, you will not regret it!

The small gap between the hanger rod and the cup excludes most ants. Any ants making it down the rod to the plastic bail of the feeder still must cross the water moat. In very hot mid August temperatures in Southern California, Argentine ants are everywhere in our yard. (We don't spray pesticides.) Hundreds of ants were passing by within three feet of the feeder when the photo was taken. Another ant cup, under direct sun, 95 degrees, lost only half its water in 24 hours. Use of this product has been effective in deterring Argentine Ants.

Bought 3, kept 2 and gave one away. They have saved my feeders and my friends too!! They're very pretty which is a bonus and my feathered friends will sometimes sit on the rim and have a sip of water. Will definitely buy more.

Great quality product, works really well - My only beef with this product is the price tag...sooo expensive. Once you stop cringing it is great and does the job though.
