To keep the ants out of the hummingbird feeders, apply Vaseline or stiff hair jell to the hanger or wire of the feeder. The ants can go as far as the jell then they can't go further to get in the feeder.

Tip: Use Vaseline On Birdfeeder To Keep Ants Away

Archived on 09/28/2009

If you have ants climbing down the cord to your hummingbird feeder, put Vaseline on it. It keeps them away for up to a year!

RE: Use Vaseline On Birdfeeder To Keep Ants Away

I recently read that applying anything greasy on the bird feeder pole to keep the squirrels is not a good idea. Apparently, if anything greasy gets on the feathers of birds, it can cause them a lot of problems. Clean bird feathers are essential for helping them stay warm and dry during the winter.
