Hi All,
I didn’t respond to the earlier discussion because I wanted to monitor our feeder for a while to confirm what I thought -
A sprinkle of cinnamon keeps the ants away! We have a plastic, flat, circular feeder so it’s easy to apply all across the top and around the feeding holes.
The only time it doesn’t work is when the rain washes away the cinnamon and the ants come right back before you reapply.
Hoping this tip will work for all of you, Laurie
