Michelle Jensen on Jul 01, 2015Orshleins or Tru Value Hardware have these little gadgets that have ant repellant in them. They are a small red or green upside down cup with a hook on the top. All you have to do is hang your feeder from them and hang it up! It works like a charm!Helpful Reply

Tracy C on Jul 02, 2015I attached an ant moat, just a little attachment that you add above the feeder, put water & a drop of oil into. It keeps the ants from getting to the feeder.Helpful Reply
