Is it sealed well enough to keep ants out?

I will not recommend this product as the electronics is not cased in a waterproof container. Mine fell into my pond after a racoon pushed it over and the product stopped working. I contacted the Manufacturer and they refused to provide any kind of help. If you have already bought it, make sure it is wrapped in plastic bag/casing in case it falls into water. I found out the hard way $90 down the drain, I am hand feeding my koi now. : (

No, it is not sealed. The feeding nozzle is about 4cm (2 inches) wide. I put my feeder in a pedestal and tied it on a pole so that animals (cats, racoon, etc.) won't be able to tip it over. Also, I wrapped it in a cloth to camouflage the smell. And you have to check it from time to time, to make sure the battery didn't die yet.

After about a month of use it fills with mold. It is cleanable when all the ants die but I could never get all the mold out.

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.

I believe that this container, if used in conjunction with its companion lid, would most likely do the trick of keeping out any pests. The lid seals pretty tightly to the container. To be totally forthcoming, though, I have not had any experience with keeping out critters, so I can't attest completely to the air tightness of the container in this specific situation.

yes. it seals fairly well. it doesnt seal airtight but then again you dont want to seal them airtight. the lenght of time will vary with the recipe used and the environmental factors like temp and humidity or how long they are out of the container for.

I have not had a problem with ants. I would assume if you keep the little opening on the side closed you would not have a problem.

Mine seals up very tight. The laundry room where we keep the food used to hold a faint smell of dogfood before this container, now there is no smell (including the treat container, which holds some stinky potent treats). I would think these would keep ants out, but given how small and strong ants are they might be able to lift and push the lid up enough on the sides to get in. Either way, I've been very happy with this purchase and its nice to have on wheels for floor cleaning and vacuuming

I'm guessing that you can. If I didn't have a dog, or, a rice container, I would still purchase it to store my 50 lbs rice, instead of leaving in the bag. The seal helps keep ants out. However, for any foodstuff, you may want to check the expiration date, and if you store it, it doesn't get "stale". For me, rice would be good, since it is our staple for daily consumption, so never will get "bad".

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

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.

I just opened the package and then drew back the cover of the little square so that it was a little bit exposed. Not even a quarter of an inch, just a tiny bit. I set it out by the back door. The other ones I set around the house. It worked, the ants were drawn to them and then died. I picked them up (full of dead ants).

It is not airtight, but I believe it will keep out bugs. At least no bugs have gotten in mine

The top of the container is flimsy and there are holes where the lid attaches. Ants get in that way. They can also climb right in through the bottom where the tray fits into the base.

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

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

I don't recall that the seal was "airtight" once opened, and the inside did not have an extra lining. It seemed to "keep" very well, but I supposed you could break it up and vacuum seal what isn't used in the near term.

I have never used this item long term indoors. It does a great job indoors and outdoors when I had food exposed. The bottom is not a solid seal, it just sits on the table. Not sure if very small insects would be kept out. Hope that helps.
