Hummingbird Hack One Month Update! I wrapped duct tape around the post (sticky side out) The ants didn't like crawling over the tape... ... they tried to make a bridge but gave up after I blew them away. Lots of people suggested Vaseline so I put some at the top One month later, my feeder is ant-free! It works!

Original caption

Don't worry, no ants or birds were harmful by the duct tape. It's not sticky enough to trap them. I'm so happy this worked and my hummingbird feeder is ant free! Lots of people also suggested an ant moat! I'm sure that would work too! I just used stuff I already had on hand.
