How long does one ring last?

Typically 3–6 weeks in normal outdoor conditions. Hot, dry weather extends the life; heavy rain shortens it. When the cinnamon scent is no longer noticeable up close, it's time to replace.

Will it harm hummingbirds or other wildlife?

No. Cinnamon is completely safe for birds, bees, butterflies, and other wildlife. It only deters insects that navigate by scent — primarily ants.

What feeder types does it work with?

Cinnamon Ring works with any feeder that hangs from a wire, chain, or pole. It fits most standard diameters. If you have an unusually thick pole, the ring can be overlapped to close the gap.

Do I need to remove it when I clean the feeder?

No — you can leave the ring in place while cleaning. Just avoid soaking it in water, which can accelerate scent loss. A quick rinse of the feeder won't affect the ring.

How many rings do I need?

One ring per feeder is all you need. The 3-pack gives you a full season of protection for one feeder, or covers three feeders at once.

How Cinnamon Ring Works – Natural Ant Repellent for Hummingbird Feeders

Wrap the ring around the pole

Slide a Cinnamon Ring around your feeder's hanging wire or pole, just above the feeder. The ring is pre-cut to fit standard pole diameters — no scissors, no tools, no fuss. It takes about ten seconds.

Works with shepherd's hooks, deck-mount poles, window-mount arms, and most hanging chains. If your pole is thicker than average, simply overlap the ring slightly and press the ends together.

The cinnamon scent repels ants naturally

Ants navigate by scent trails. Cinnamon's natural oils — primarily cinnamaldehyde — disrupt those trails and act as a powerful deterrent. Ants reach the ring, turn around, and don't come back.

Unlike sticky ant guards or moats that can trap or drown insects, Cinnamon Ring is a dry, humane barrier. No dead ants, no sticky residue, no water to refill or spill.

Hummingbirds feed undisturbed

With ants blocked at the pole, your feeder stays clean and inviting. Hummingbirds are completely unaffected by cinnamon — they'll visit freely while ants stay away.

Replace the ring every 3–6 weeks, or sooner after heavy rain. You'll know it's time when the cinnamon scent fades. Each 3-pack gives you a full season of protection.

Why cinnamon — and not chemicals?

Most ant solutions use sticky traps, petroleum-based repellents, or pesticides that can contaminate nectar and harm the birds you're trying to attract. Cinnamon is a food-safe spice that's been used as a natural insect deterrent for centuries. It's safe for hummingbirds, safe for the environment, and safe to handle with bare hands.
