How do you attach this ant moat?

I have a wire hanging from a screw eye in the bottom of my tree limb ....the wire makes a loop at the bottom where I put my ant trap...then hang your feeder from the bottom of the ant trap. The ant trap not only keeps ants out.....but a lot of my birds also hang from the wire and drink from it!

Attach the top hook to a chain or hook so that it's sides aren't touching anything else. Hang feeder from bottom hook.

There is a hook on both the top and the bottom. You attach the top hook to the place where you used to hang the feeder, then hang the feeder on the bottom hook. It lowers the feeder by about 3 inches. Works like a charm!

use a pole to raise the base of the ant. 15 ft above the roof use a good ground, stay clear of power lines you should do good.

The ant moat is the little ring around the hook on the top. You can fill that with water to help keep the ants out. I have found that the ants (wasps or bees) don't really bother the birds. The thing that will really bother the birds is if the feeder gets dirty or moldy; especially in hot weather I clean the feeders every 3 days.

I don't see why not. I put it around my wooded retaining wall and within a few days there were piles of dead ants all over the place. I haven't seen any more since. And that has been about a year ago.

its like a tent frame,,,,,thumb the plastic hooks from one side,,,,maybe use a wide screwdriver to pry over tube

I used a concrete fastener (screw), just make sure you get the right size for the hanging hole. You can get it from any hardware store.

We had carpenter ants. I tried every thing and nothing worked. I then purchased Maxforce ant bait. The ants are gone. Just stick the up on the wall or floor and let it work. You do not have to put them in direct line of an ant trail. I put my in the area of where I saw the ants. It did take about two weeks before they were all gone.

I originally was filling the moat but as time went on I stopped doing that. So far, I haven't had any ant problems at all. Not sure if this is typical though. Fyi, I have 2 of these feeders that are placed in different parts of the yard.

I simply wound grafting tape around the trunk making a 2" wide base for the tanglefoot. I used a couple of pieces of flat plastic (ice cream container lid) to apply the tanglefoot. I now have no green ants in my fruit trees. Very happy.

Start with one side and slide the wood through the ceramic loop on the pot. Bend the wood at the natural point where it looks like it bends and slide it back up through the wooden ring which should secure it back onto itself. Then repeat this for the other side as well. Sorry, a picture is worth a thousand words but I hope this was helpful

My trick for keeping ants out is I put Vaseline on the pole or hanging device. It is cheap and easy to apply.

I do not have problems. Put water in the small middle cup, this should help with ants. To prevent bees, make sure the feeder lid does not have any spilled sugar on it at all.

Sorry, it doesn't look like it. Checked the top, sides, and bottom with my eyes and hands: I couldn't find any hooks or crannies where you could attach something.

After you spray the inside of the mound then you stomp on the mound and it implodes so the ants can't get out. It really works!!!

You turn the top slightly which breaks a seal on the liquid bait. The ants can then get access to it.

damiboo, I'd have to say there is no way for ants to get in, so long as you don't let any get in while the lid is off. Mine seems to be airtight when lid is screwed on, so ant proof also. If you are storing the vault where no pets or kids will be roaming, you could spray a bug killing product around, but not touching the vault to make a anti-insect perimeter (picture a castle with a moat around it).
