Does it keep earwigs out? Here, they're almost as much trouble as ants.

Can earwigs swim thru cooking oil? That would be the only way they could get through

It is the oil that keeps the ants out. I don't believe an earwig could tolerate the oil either. As the oil sticks to their feet and they can not hold on. I have never had one in my feeder.

The top of the container is flimsy and there are holes where the lid attaches. Ants get in that way. They can also climb right in through the bottom where the tray fits into the base.

Here in the upper dessert it deters them for awhile, but ants being ants, seem to return....maybe with hyper vigilance and a rigorous consistent schedule of application they will turn from the oak.....good luck!

I really doubt that ants can go through the netting, It is such a fine netting. The netting details say the netting will repel Gnats, Fleas, Sandflies & Mosquitoes.

The granules would seep into the ground and so would their toxins. I use the plastic bait system in and around my garden to keep ants down. I find that it works quite well. Ants are not a problem in my garden now.

No, you would need a dissaplin training for that--this device does work on ants for me and also fleas--it keeps them away from my house and my animals!

Carpenter ants are a pain!. I use a sugar and borax mixture to kill the whole lot of them works better than anything else I've tried.good luck!

I have only heard stories, some people say it worked, some - didn't. It didn't work for me for ants, either. But I guess, we either got a serious invasion or I bought too little to do the big job. In honesty, Orkin didn't help either. We found another company that got rid of them naturaly. Wonders happen. So, if You have termites, I'd advise You to seek professional help - otherwise You'd put too much money into this product, too much time and efforts, and there is no guarantee. This is what I'd do. But at the end - it's Your decision. Good Luck!

The ants can't get in because they have to crawl through the water but the bees can fly in, so I think you will still have a bee problem. Try to google it.

I don't know the answer as I only have a 2 acre yard and am spraying ant hills as I find them. If you have an Extension Service near you they can probably give you the answer. Forgot to say this product really works!

I don't see how a ear could enter it, or gnaw their way in if the door is rotated to the top. We have wood rats in the area but I've never seen them around the unit. - Tim

It should keep water out of the canister but I don't know about ants. Water will collect in the bowl of course, and raccoons might try to get food out of the food chute. So...somewhat weatherproof, depending on where you keep it outside.

I wanted to plug mine in out on my balcony to possibly stop the ants from venturing into my apt. but the socket outside has those protective covers over the sockets and the unit is too big to be able to plug in.

Most ants try and find warm areas when it snows. so I don't know how effective it would be

I have been fortunate to not to have that problem. Although Squirrels abound on my property, the AC adaptor is close to the backdoor where there is nothing for them to get into. Location, Location is key.

The original version of this product killed them. The label says it does but the recent EPA guidelines forces Terro to create a less toxic blend of chemicals. This means it doesn't kill Ants anymore, they just find another route out of their colony. If you have a fire ant colony, this will keep them from coming out the entrance you spread it on, but they'll most likely just move the entrance a few feet or a few meters. To eradicate, you may need a homemade solution that is less environmentally friendly. I've sprinkled this dust directly on carpenter ants and fire ants outside the colony. Both didn't like it, but they ultimately survived and so did the colony I tried to block entrance to. This is more for taking care of the areas where they force a huge mountain of dirt onto your lawn, than for dealing with the reason it got put there.
