Can ants get into the food

The Vittles Vault lid seals tightly. As long as you screw it on well, bugs cannot get in.

Definite NO. The lid has a gasket and screws on tight. I know they can get into just about anything but these are secure from them. They also keep out the moisture. I use mine for my wood chips for my smoker and have had no problems with them being tight the lid is on.

Hello- I bought two of them. One of the gaskets fell off of one of them, but I have never had any ants get into either of mine. They are in an area in the garage where they could have ants if the lid did not work properly. It's a great dog food container!

damiboo, I'd have to say there is no way for ants to get in, so long as you don't let any get in while the lid is off. Mine seems to be airtight when lid is screwed on, so ant proof also. If you are storing the vault where no pets or kids will be roaming, you could spray a bug killing product around, but not touching the vault to make a anti-insect perimeter (picture a castle with a moat around it).

mine is sitting outside on my deck and no, I haven't noticed or seen any ants in it. the lid has a tight seal!

You turn the top slightly which breaks a seal on the liquid bait. The ants can then get access to it.

I'm no expert on ants by no means but I would imagine if your ant are just garden variety ants, you could try. I don't see how it could harm

add a large bloob of petroleum jelly Vaseline on the hook where they climb on tot the feeder. Works for me the ants can't cross the petroleum jelly

It seals tightly, so I can't imagine that ants would likely find their way into it, but I know that those little tiny ants can be wily. But, it seems to seal really well. Also, the little terra cotta disc keeps the sugar from clumping up. It really works, too. I live in a high humidity area, so it's been tested. : )

it should be okay as long as the granular mix is small enough. the slots for the ants to enter and exit narrow.

The ants have to climb into the trap trying to find their way to the sugar water. They die in the trap because if installed above the food source as directed, they can go no farther. The important thing is to clean out the ant trap and fill with water every time you change the sugar water because if left without water in the trap they will continue to the food source.

I had ants marching from behind a kitchen cabinet. They were heading in two different directions. I located where they were coming out from behind the cabinet. I ran a bead of Terro so they could not come out without walking thru it. The ants walked thru it, and about 2 hours later they were all over the wall. The next day they were all gone. Have not seen another one in over 43 months.

sure, it is pretty safe, you can use it near food as well. I used it inside my house. it smells orange afterward. Ants never come back from the same spot.

I haven't run into that problem but my best guess would be that it does keep ants out. The 2 snaps hold the rim of the cover securely in a groove around the bottom & will hold even the heaviest cake, but it isn't air tight so I couldn't guarantee that the ants can't get in (but they'd have to be very tiny).

I haven't seen any bugs/ants. I have the brown sugar container in addition to the flour and sugar container. No problems.

Just had an exterminator out at the house and he told me this can be useful if the ants are craving something sweet. If they are looking for water, then no. I guess that answers your question.

Don't know about the pba. I could see ants being a problem with this. The bowl portion isn't too high and if you have an ant problem I can see them marching right in

I have smaller ones for cats and definitely they keep the ants away. they are blocked from crawling up into the dish.

I bring my bowls inside to clean them regularly and have never found an ant inside any of them. If you don't want to bring them inside, you can always take a bucket of hot, soapy water outside and clean them there.

Our feeders are on a Shepard hook. The ants climb the pole but the Trap-It is between them and the feeder, so they fall into the water in the Trap-It and drown.

The ants climb up the pole and head toward the food source. To get to the food source they have to climb down to the Trap-It and fall into the water. This is the best solution I have found to deter ants from getting into my hummingbird feeders. Works great!
