dyna99 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I'll show you what we did...........never mind, I'll tell you instead.........lol I got a cap off a can of paint or the likes.........the one that has a smaller area inside that fits around the nozzle, we put a hole in the middle of the cap and tied it to a string and filled the outer part with water and have not had any ants yet this year..... I'll get a picture in the morning to show ya.........thought I had one, let me look again!! lol Found it and resized it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavender Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 If that doesn't work how about some sticky fly paper around the string? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Mungaknuts Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 thanks for both ideas never even gave the fly paper a thought and the cap is a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyna99 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Well thanks for the thanks.......but they go to someone else on here that taught it to me!!! lol There was a thread last spring? about the same thing and I remember reading it and thought that was a good idea, so this spring when we put it up we have 2 now and 1 is done with the cap, and the other has a plastic pop bottle cut in half and siliconed upside down on the pole to the 2nd one, which is also filled with water......both work....
