Thank you so much to everyone who purchased The Ant-Mote™ for 1” poles. We are so grateful for the overwhelming and positive response to our newest version of The Ant-Mote™. We are working hard to make this product available again as soon as possible, and expect it to be back in stock before the end of the summer season.

Sign up to be notified when The Ant-Mote™ for 1” poles is back in stock.

Unless you already have a feeder and pole, we recommend purchasing The Ant-Mote™ Kit, which includes The Ant-Mote™, a two-part pole, and an authentic Aspects HummZinger HighView nectar feeder. However, if you do not have a pole and purchasing a complete kit is not an option for you, most of our retail partners carry The Ant-Mote™ plus a selection of poles and feeders.

If neither of those options is available to you, True Value, Lowe’s, and Home Depot likely carry commonly available Schedule M copper tubing, which works perfectly well and weathers beautifully. Note that to have an outside diameter of ⅝” (.625”), it is important to look for a tube labeled ½” (.5”) inside diameter.

At the moment, we do not offer shipping to Canada through our website. However, you can see a map of our Canadian retail partners on our store locator page.
