Protect your beehive from invasive ants with the Bug Farmer™ Ant Moat, a simple yet effective solution designed to keep your bees safe and your hive ant-free. This innovative product ensures that your bees can work undisturbed, preserving the health and productivity of your hive.
Key Features:
  • Ant Prevention: The ant moat creates a barrier that ants cannot cross. By filling the reservoir with old motor oil, you create a surface that ants are unable to navigate, effectively blocking their path to your beehive.
  • Reservoir Design: The moat includes a reservoir specifically designed to hold the oil. This ensures a consistent and reliable barrier against ants.
  • Protective Cover: Comes with a cover that fits over the oil reservoir, preventing rainwater from diluting the oil or entering the moat, which could compromise its effectiveness. This cover also helps in keeping the setup clean and functional.
  • Easy Installation: Simply fill the reservoir with old motor oil, attach the cover, and place your beehive on top of the oil moats. The design is user-friendly, making it easy for beekeepers of all levels to set up.
  • Durable Construction: This plastic ant moat is built to withstand the outdoor environment, ensuring long-term protection for your hive.
