Benefits of using The Ant-Mote™
The Ant-Mote™ is designed for ⅝” and 1” Poles. ⅝” diameter poles are compatible with most top-rated nectar feeders for hummingbirds, orioles, and butterflies. Mounting directly to a pole is much more secure than hanging, much more wind resistant, and you are less likely to find your feeder lying on the ground after a heavy breeze.
Non-mechanical mounting makes it easy to position and install. No tools are required for installation, and a tight seal prevents ants from climbing up the pole.
Photographers can use The Ant-Mote™ to pole-mount a nectar feeder and get a completely stable platform no matter how heavy the breeze.
Bonus: No need to crop out or frame around a hanging hook.
No concerns about feeders not hanging straight. It’s easy to remove your feeder for cleaning and filling. No removal of the hanging hook when putting a feeder in the dishwasher. No concerns about stripping the feeder hook and bolt.
Compatible poles are available from most hardware and big-box stores. We have also partnered with Erva to offer poles specifically designed for The Ant-Mote™. The ⅝” tube almost disappears in your garden. Multiple poles at multiple heights can be placed in your garden to attract more hummingbirds, who are often territorial.
Large Water Capacity: The Ant-Mote™ for 5/8” poles and The Ant-Mote™ for 1” poles both hold 18 oz of water, making them long-lasting and requiring less refilling.
Attract more birds to your garden with The Ant-Mote™
The Ant-Mote™ turns your ⅝” or 1” feeder pole into a birding oasis. Sometimes hummingbirds are territorial with one another; however, we have observed many types of birds coexisting happily around a feeder mounted on a pole with The Ant-Mote™ installed. Using The Ant-Mote™ keeps your nectar feeder free of ants while functioning as a small bird bath and water station.
“I have 3 saucer-style feeders. Bought 1 ant mote to try out, and it works great, so now I'm buying 2 more. What I really appreciate is that it isn't some brightly-colored, tacky junk that catches your eye when you walk into my yard. It blends in as much as it possibly can, and the price is very reasonable.”
