Not if someone leaves the feeder out. They will stay until they end up freezing to death.


When it starts getting cold, take it down.

The ones that have a place on top that you can fill with water, like the one pictured above, the water will keep the ants out

We got a new roof this week. Moved the feeder, then moved it back. One little guy was looking at the temporary spot, figured out where it was and hit it.

The males will really put on a show, tussling for territory.
