How can I make an ant moat for my hummingbird feeder?
Drill a hole slightly bigger than the hang wire through an old spray can lid. Slide the lid onto the wire. Seal the gap between the hole and the wire with silicone or hot glue. Pour some water in the cap. Do not use oil, because some small birds drink from ant moats. The best way to use an ant moat is to put the cap on upside down, then coat the inside of the cap with a product called Tanglefoot, which is available at nurseries and maybe Wal-Mart type stores. Something else that's sticky but won't dry out would also work.

Besides ferocious bites and venonmous stings--which can be quite dangerous to allergic people--in the northern United States, the carpenter ant is another common intruder in and around buildings and dwellings constructed mostly of wood, e.g., cabins, barns, outhouses and corrals. They love wood and can cause damage similar to damage caused by termites. Trees are another favorite of the carpenter ant. Colonies of this structural bugger usually gnaw out the galleries and chambers of their nests in wood initially infested by beetles. Most beetle damage is done to pine trees.
On the other hand, carpenter ants may actually contribute to forest economy by hastening the breakdown and recycling of timber previously infested by other insects, usually beetles. It's simply natures way of eliminating old-growth trees, creating room for new-growth trees

What ants make when they build their homes?
Ants live underground in the dirt. Their
homes are called nests. They dig their
nests with their legs. They use their
antennae to feel around where they are
going. Some ant nests can be 15 feet
deep! Ants are hard workers and are
very strong. On the top of the ground
the nest looks like a hill of dirt. Some of
these hills called ant mounds are very
large. Under ground there are many
tunnels and chambers (rooms.)
Ants live in Colonies, which have about
100 ants or more in one colony. Each ant
has it's own job to do. There are worker
ants and one queen ant. They workers do
all the work and the queen only has babies.
The queen is the very large ant on the left.

Most ants hibernate in the winter. Usually in their nests but sometimes in the bark of a tree or underneath rocks. They don't even eat!! There is one type of ant (Messor aciculartus) that takes grass seeds into its nest to snack on when it gets cold.
Not all ants have sting. Those species of ants that have a sting in the end of their abdomen can sting whether it is a worker or a queen. The only member of such species that can't sting is the male ant whose only purpose in the colony is to fertilise the queen or gyne during the nuptial swarm.
