David, I believe the method used here is to grease your pole underneath the box with axel grease or petroleum jelly (axel grease will last all season), thus preventing the ants from getting into the box. Just put enough of a ring around the pole to stop the traffic, maybe 1/2″ or so. As far as the current box, I would believe you need to either do a nest change or put something under the nest, which is safe for the birds but kills the ants. Someone else needs to chime in here, because I’m not sure what this product is. Guess the question is, are there eggs/babies, or just a nest? Would be a whole lot easier is there were no eggs or babies. Gin, Tammy . . .???? what do you think?
