The Antser Ant-Proof Barrier is a means of keeping ants away from the Antser's top surface. It uses an internal water barrier to keep ants away. Review: No more ants - Bought one of these years ago (1995-ish) and love it. We now have 3. Works very well and keeps ants away from the cat food and water. Just add a little soapy water to the reservoir, set the lid on top and youโre done. Water will last weeks depending on the temperature. Review: BEST feral feeder, but needs one tweak - I feed a community of TNRed cats and have had the worst problem with ants covering their bowls. I tried so many things (putting the bowl in a larger bowl full of water, putting it on a mat covered in water, raising the bowls) and each "solution" created its own set of problems. The reviews on this were good, so I decided to try it out. It's incredibly easy to set up and very easy to refill (I live on the coast where it's 100+ degrees). I've had it for a few months and have only had to refill it once. The *only* improvement I would suggest is to have a small clip or something to keep the top attached to the bottom. As soon as my cats are done eating, if there's even one piece of food left over, the possums come out and clumsily step on the antser to get to the bowls. They've knocked the top off quite a few times. That could be resolved by having some type of lock feature (though not *too* tight of a lock, because I enjoy the ease of taking the top off to put new water in). Overall, I'd buy this again, regardless of the price tag. I've had ants only once and that was when I knew I needed to refill. Otherwise, I enjoy watching them walk around the antser as if they're looking for David Bowie outside of the labyrinth.

No More Ants in Kitty's Food!
I first purchased an Antser tray over a year ago. It works so well - with only checking water level every few months - that we've had ZERO ant attacks on anything stored on the tray! Just add water and a drop of dish soap to the base - NO POISONS! It works so well that I just bought another one for a second feeding station. Because of its simple design it can be immersed to clean and is easy to take on trips. Couldn't be easier! One tip: make sure the tray doesn't touch a wall or provide another path for the ants to bypass the water-filled base.

It really works
After battling ants in food put out on my back porch for a mom and 4 kittens dropped off near my home, I thought I had tried everything. I was reduced to putting out foil pans, filling with water twice a day and setting food bowls inside. It worked but it was hard and messy. So I tried the Antser, with not a lot of faith. Wow - was I surprised. I've been using it for 2+ months and it is wonderful. I am just about at the point of the first refill of water in the bottom. Not a single ant in sight.

This thing works really well
This thing really works to keep ants out of cat food. It doesn't use pesticides either, which is a big bonus. It also raises the food off the ground which is supposed to be better for cats in general. Really happy with this purchase. The only thing I would like is the option to buy a slightly bigger one, and some type of mechanism to attach a feeder to it so that a strong and persistent cat won't knock it over. Currently, I'm thinking of a way to do this with magnets and such, but I don't know if it will work or not. For most cats, this thing is perfect though, which is why I gave it 5 stars.

Fast Simple Honest Review for ANTSER
Fast Simple Honest Review: I search online and found that there are only about 4 different ant proof competitors but decided to give ANTSER Ant-Proof a try. I use it for about 1 week. What I can say is that it does what it is design to do and that is to keep your pet's food from "ants only." I purchased ANTSER because of the dimension and weight support to place my PETLIBRO Automatic Cat Feeder with Camera on top (see photos). Originally the ants enter the feeder from the front opening but with this tray, problem is solved. The biggest drawback of the ANSTER tray is the price! I paid $55.70 with tax/shipping; it is ultra expensive for a PVC plastic tray. If this was in retailer store, it would be price for $19.99. This product would receive 5 stars but due to the illogical pricing plus shipping. ANTSER received 4 stars. Last note, the plastic will eventually crack if you decided to leave it outdoor under the sun and random weather.

Keeps away ants
This works for me. I have a catio that runs to the back porch. Iโve been feeding my cats on the back enclosed porch and have been worried about ants (I live in Florida) this works really well. I have to keep the crunchy cat food outside because one of my cats is a diet controlled diabetic and I have to keep him away from that kind of food. The size I bought is purr-fect and I would recommend this to anyone that is worried about crawling insects getting into your pets food.

The best for avoiding ants - preferred by the shelter I work for
The animal shelter I work for uses these, they get donations and recommended to me. Iโve had zero problems with ants, plus they are a good size to keep any food from going on the floor and easy to clean. I use for my cats. Be sure to follow directions adding a little dish soap to the water under the top tray.
