We've been feeding grape jelly to the birds for quite a while now, so we've had a lot of experience with it. Ants are bound to try to get to it if there is something sweet around. Sometimes we can go quite a while without a problem, and then one day, there they are.
In this video, I will show you an easy way to keep the ants off of your feeder if you use a Shepard's hook like we do. It pretty much works every time for us.

@rosea830منذ 4 سنواتFood grade DE is great. TSC has it in 12 lb bags. We use it in the garden, usually with a garlic salt shaker, and we layer it in our grain corn in buckets to store for the year. Those look like some very happy birds. 2

@shirleyk623منذ 4 سنواتGood morning Jim. Great idea. Ants can be a pain. I'm going to try that around my hummingbird feeders. It seems like I'm constantly changing the id="hidden3" class="buttons"> sugar water in the feeders because they're full of drowning ants. That's not a bad way to get rid of ants but they sour the sugar water. Thanks for the tip. Have a great weekend. ....وسعت3
