I have not had a chance to use this product, but I am hopeful it will work. I have trouble with ants with one of my feeders getting invaded with ants.

So clever

I bought this little gadget as a little treat to myself, as I hated to deal with the ants that somehow found their way into my hummingbird feeder between cleanings. It works just as I hoped and it's so simple. It completely removed the EEWWWW factor from this job. I wish I'd thought of it first!

Could not use hummingbird feeders last year because of ants. So these might be the answer

Pretty Moats

Comments:

Great to have clear plastic moats that are pretty and light weight. I added red veggie die to attract the hummingbirds rather than color their nectar. Works well!

Great Ant Moat!

Posted By: Linda Rothfuss Martinson

Comments:

The ant moats from Kinsman Garden are the best! They are the perfect size (all others I have seen and/or tried are too shallow). The ants cannot get to my feeders. Finches drink from them. The moats are deep enough that water does not evaporate rapidly. Love them!!!

Great Ant Moat!

Comments:

This moat is the best that I have found. Most of the moats are too shallow and have to be filled constantly. Also, I keep fresh water in it because the finches line up to drink from it!

Nifty little piece

Posted By: RJ

Location: Olathe, KS United States

Comments:

During migration season, I put out 4-6 Oriole feeders. The remaining time it is Hummingbird feeders. I have used the orange moats for the Orioles-, and the (very small) red moats for the Hummingbird feeders. What I like about these is...they are clear. I can see when they need to be re-filled! And it's kind of interesting that some of the birds use them as drinking sources and 'baths' :)

Nice product, SLOW shipping

Posted By: KARIN MATCHETT

Comments:

This is a cool item. I get to stop killing ants in the process of attracting hummingbirds! On the down side, their shipping is slow slow slow (and no, I don't expect amazon-style shipping from other merchants). 10 days from order to arrival? I didn't even know if was possible to ship so slow.

ant moat

Posted By: Judy Haroldson

Location: Park Rapids, MN United States

Comments:

It was a little clumsy to set up, but it works the best of any I have used. Because it is big, you don't have to fill it with water very often. Because they are clear, you can tell when to take them down and clean them out. I bought more!

We use these moats for all our hummingbird feeders. Like one reviewer mentioned, the little birds like to drink out of it.

These ant moats are terrific. Have mine for a couple of years now and not one single ant has gotten past the moat. They don't even try anymore.

This ant moat is great! I've purchased others that were not deep enough. This is my 2nd. Sometimes birds use it for a drink.

Ant Moat

Comments:

100% effective, which makes it much easier to clean and change out the nectar. Of course it makes it more challenging for the hummers to find insect protein.

The hummingbird ant traps are great. They hold a lot of water and since they are clear it is easy to see when they are dirty or empty. The small birds love to drink from them. We also bought a Nuttery nut feeder and it is a big birdland attraction.

the ant moat works very well, howeve ther was a crack at the bottom where the hanger goes and it leaked. I got a replacement and it too leaked. So much for plastic. Great idea though. The one works just fine and the hummers are happy. Need a better way to protect from cracking at the hook end.

I bought these moats as a gift, but liked the generous size and the unobtrusiveness of the material. My friend was thrilled to get them, since she was plagued with ants in her hummingbird feeders.

These moats have solved our ant problems and they are easy to use. I wasted so much time and energy trying to outsmart the ants (unsuccessfully) before I bought these moats. They are perfect!

These crystal-clear ant moats replace moats we've had for years. Not only do they keep ants away, but small birds love to perch on them to drink.
