Droll Yankees 3/4 Cup Ant Deterrent Moat for Hummingbird Feeders - Model #021964104818

S.L. from Ky: I’ve fed hummers my whole life and have tried every trick, idea to keep ants out of the feeder. The past couple of months has been the easiest maintenance I’ve ever had with feeders. Don’t be put off for the bit of a higher price; it’s worth every penny. Give 10 stars if I could; wonderful product.

K: 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.

TC: It does the job that it is designed for (to deter ants) and bonus: many song birds like to perch on the edge to drink the water/eat the drowned ants LOL

Sylvia: 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.

Lonnie Sue: I bought two and tried them out on my hummingbird feeders. A few months later I bought two more! I love these. They do the trick and keep the nasty ants out of your feeder. The color, shape and size that they are makes them look like a normal part of the feeder. Pretty!

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: 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.

karen h: 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!

Dan the man: I decided to give this a try since my mom had an ant problem with almost every feeder she had. A couple of the feeders had a built in moat for water to prevent this but all of them didn't work since they were quite shallow and the water easily evaporated. The Droll Yankee ant moat works wonders! It is deep enough to provide water for at least a week without having to refill it and it has kept the ants away from the feeders! Bonus is the hummingbirds do once in a while drink and eat the dead fruit fly's that end up taking a swim in the water. Overall this is a must have for anyone that has an ant problem with there feeders!

rltr88m: How have I not bought one of these before? I live in Arizona. We have huge numbers of ants. These ant moats keep the pesky things out of my hummingbird feeders better than anything I have ever tried! If you are bothered by ants in your feeders, do yourself (and the birds) a favor, and buy these! I couldn't decide what the difference was between the two moats other than 50 cents, so I bought one of each. One is orange and the other is red. The orange isn't scary bright. The red is a dark red. Both are opaque so you can see the water level. The orange is supposed to match oriole feeders, but I like it better because it is more see through therefore making it easier to see the water level. I even have little finches drinking from the moat! The most utilitarian item while also being entirely cute.
