Does this seal well enough to keep the ants out? (We have one that keeps attracting ants)

I have never had any problems with ants getting into this. It seals well enough to keep the odor in - so I have to believe it definitely can keep ants out. Hope this is helpful.

No, it would not protect against sugar ants or any larger kinds of ants. There is no rubber seal around the door for air tightness. In fact, I can fit a credit card through the gap above the top of the door when it's closed. Also, there are two small, pre-cut holes in the back of the box for mounting, which any size ant could fit through.

I've been using these for a couple years and I can tell you without a doubt they will not keep ants out. Have beat the bee problem but keeping water in the moat is the only thing that beats the ants.

Yes and it seals the unit well. One drawback is the cover doesn't have a lock.

I've had mine for about a year and it still works great. Just used some last night and the ants swarmed all over it but were gone this morning.

It will seal it with no problem, but you will need to put something in, or over the hole like tape, etc as this stuff is very runny out of the can. I cant live without it overall.

I purchased this and I actually live in Florida, and have had no ant issues! But it's definitely not air tight, so those little ants could definitely crawl their way in

It doesn't seal tightly, if that's what mean. The lid fits well, but it's cloth just like the rest of the box so I wouldn't call it bug-proof.

Hi Terri, this item has work very well for me. the feeder hose is durable and there are no leakages at the seals. This well be my 2nd season of use, I am very please with this item

If they are closed correctly, they are airtight. So I would say it would be very hard for ants to get in.

I used it and it sealed fine. It is more substantial than it looks and seals the hole off very well and fits the toilet horn snuggly. No problem at all. Jim

No. I think you would need something with a seal. This keeps water out but I'm pretty sure those pesky critters will crawl right in.

No there is no moat to keep out ants. I have not had any ants in the feeder but have had bees. The birds love this feeder and i love the size of it.

We have had ours for a couple of years and find it cleans out fairly well using a hose. We do get ants living under the float cavity but not a big problem. Our first one was plastic. This is much better.

Hi Daniel, my wife tells me that it DOES NOT work for transporting food. She says that it does not seal!!! Hope this helps you out.Shawn

It should keep water out of the canister but I don't know about ants. Water will collect in the bowl of course, and raccoons might try to get food out of the food chute. So...somewhat weatherproof, depending on where you keep it outside.

I haven't had it for long and don't have ants in my home so have not have any problems. However it doesn't have a seal on it but fits snug.
