Hummingbird feeder ant trap / ant moat -- Keep ants out of you hummingbird feeders!
Description
I Decided To Refurbish A Few Of My Hummingbird Feeders To Give To My Mother On Mother'S Day As She Is An Amateur Ornithologist When Not Saving Lives, And I Bought A Printer To Make Useful Things. Plus, One Can Never Have Too Many Feeders! The First Step In The Process---Well, The Second Step After Cleaning The Feeders That Survived The Winter---Was To Make An Ant Trap/Moat To Keep The Ants Away. Drawing Inspiration From The Many Diy Moats One May Find When Googling The Problem, I "Designed" This Little Thing To Install On The Feeders Before Gifting Them. Why Buy A Bottle Of Water Or Soda When You Can Just As Easily Print The Thing In Biodegradable Plastic? A Bit Of Caulk Or Sugru Is Needed To Seal The Hole That The Feeder'S Wire/Hanger Passes Through. This Should Keep The Feeder Functional, Ant-Free, And Will Additionally Serve As A Small Bath For The Little Buzzers. I Will Post Completed Images Tomorrow...After Dark Here, And The Refurbished Feeders Are Still Soaking In The Sink. Dimensions: X: 50Mm Y: 50Mm Z: 15Mm Pool/Moat Depth: 10Mm Wire/Hanger Hole Clearance: 5Mm Moving On To Bee Prevention!
