Ant Proof Tray for Pet Food Bowls

DIMENSIONS: Length 19", Width 14 1/2", Height 4"

This Antblocker Ant Proof Tray is a great device that will help you keep ants away from pet food bowls. If you have an ant problem, your pets can eat with ease, without having to worry about these pests bothering their food. In time, it can even result in the ants leaving the area, because if they can’t find any way to get food, they have no reason to stick around.

The way this pet food tray works is simple. It’s a two-tiered unit with a hole at the top. You pour up to 8 cups of water in the hole and it filters down to the reservoir at the bottom. Then all you have to do is place your pet’s food bowl on top of the ant blocker. From there, they are able to eat their food worry free!

How does it work?

Think of it like a moat in a castle. The ants crawl up the first level and get to the water (ie moat) and realize there’s no way for them to get up to the level or get to the food. In addition, it’s a good idea to make sure that you don’t place this ant blocker near anything that could be used as a “bridge” to the food – this includes high grass, a close proximity to walls or fences, chairs, dog houses, etc.

Even if you have an ant problem but don’t have a pet, this ant blocker can be used for other items as well. For example, if you have ants that are invading a trash can in your home or kitchen, simply place the trash can on top of the ant blocker. Problem solved. It will work in the same fashion as it does with the pet food. Again, just make sure you don’t place it too close to the wall or anywhere that the ants can form a bridge to get to the food.

How do I clean it?

Don’t worry, the ant blocker is made from non-toxic plastic and is totally dishwasher safe. You can also clean it with soap an water, or even use a garden hose. After cleaning, just dry off and you’re good to go another round.
