Beer.... that's what I mean by ant dams for the damn ants. Check out the link in my post above at above at Date: 03 Aug 08 - 09:36 AM. I suspect that is the one(s) you have as she imports them into La Belle Province not that far from you.

Well, I gave up on the threaded rod because the only way I know to be sure to find it is what I did yesterday. I got coat hangers ready, drilled holes in the SS fruit cups, inserted the hangers, bent the hangers, clamped them in bench vices so the cups were juuuust right, and filled the bottom thirds of the cups with bathtub caulking. When the caulking gels, I will have feeder hangers with ant dams in them. And, when I am filling the dams with water, I will remember where the threaded rod is.
