Will this unit keep out ants?

Recently I've had an infestation of small ants right next to the container and no ants have crawled into the container

No this will not keep ants out. This isn't an air tight seal on this compost bin. I recently had ants invade the kitchen because of the bin. It's still a good bin though.

It seems like it would work with hanging it below the trap on the hook. The trap is great in stopping ants as long as you keep water in the cup/trap.

yea around outer edge of your house. i have kill ant beds with it and under house. it prevents them from getting in.

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!

I've been using this feeder outside on a sheltered porch for nearly a year. I haven't had any trouble with ants getting inside, but I imagine it is possible. The reservoir is pretty well sealed, and my outdoor (semi-feral now) cat usually consumes the food before nightfall (it drops between 10 and 11 am), so there doesn't appear to be much residue to attract ants.

I only used it to store 24 lbs of dog food. It was just over half way full. If you are keeping this container in a place where ants have access, I would not recommend using this container. I recently got rid of mine, because for the third time, ants made their way in. Not thru the screw top, but thru the plastic piece that holds the screw top. I even duct taped it shut, to no avail.

Yes, this net will definitely get the ants out, without a doubt. I absolutely love the net. It's so strong.

I had ants in my dinning room around my cat's food bowl which is in front of the microwave stand. I put one under the stand and my cat didn't botherbit and she plays with everything. The next day I saw 2 ants and none since, its been about 3 weeks. I see no reason why they can't be used on the kitchen counter if placed away from the sink out of the way of water splashes. The ants will find the trap.

It will and bugs. But works well . Use less and no ants . Way less more often and this stuff youcant beat the yield increase.

It will but this product worked much better than the dust if you have them in the house. Outdoors the dust is better. TERRO Ant Killer Liquid Ant Baits (pre-filled) , Pack of 1

I keep my brown sugar in there and it stays soft. So no air is getting in and I'd bet that ants wouldn't get in either.

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

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).

Yes! I generally just use the stations and it stops the ants (I have the small sugar ants). When it doesn't I use the gel with the traps and that always works. The two together have taken care of the worst outbreaks.

I cannot tell you for sure. We don't have them in FL but I do know that they keep out little tiny ants!
