Legs for Trays (4 Pack)- Waterless, Moat Free Cat and Dog Food Tray Legs for Crawling Pest Free Pet Food Feeding Station, Kitchen Sweets and Trash, Ant Free Platform Legs.

Ok, I don’t leave reviews very often but these Bugsnubs are too helpful not to say something about them. We’ve been invaded by ants coming through the window frame (that’s cinnamon around the window crank in the picture). We had to take everything off the counters and out of the cabinets and stash it all in the dining room. While we’re waiting for the ant bait to take effect, we don’t want them running around in all of our stuff with their little poisoned feet, but we still need to have some kind of usable work surfaces. I googled “ant proof” and found the Bugsnubs. I ordered 3 sets, along with some extra goo and 2 sets of the cups that are made to go onto shepherds crooks in the garden.I wanted to be able to remove the Bugsnubs whenever I’m ready and reuse them elsewhere in the future. I attached the Bugsnubs to a set of old coasters, and then used the adhesives for Command Hooks to attach the coasters to the bottoms of two wooden trays and a large aluminum pan. All I have to do is remove them by pulling on the command hook strip. Smeared the goo in the ring, and hey! Usable work space. I smeared some of the goo around the feet of the marble cutting board, and filled some bottle caps with goo to set the feet of an old rack in to put the dish drain on. It’s a little weird to have all these “floating islands” on the counters, but the ants can’t get on them and I can easily move everything out of the way and wipe down the counters. The Bugsnubs are unobtrusive, we can’t even see them.I slid the shepherds crook cups up the legs of a small card table so I have someplace to stack the food we had to take out of the cupboards. Rice, sugar, birdseed, I want to keep everything in the kitchen so the ants don’t get attracted to other parts of the house.I want to thank the folks who made these things. They are sturdy, and well made, clean and ready to use. They don’t feel cheap or flimsy or hastily machined. They’re awesome, and I like feeling like I got what I paid for. Good job, and thank you.Update: it’s now April of 2025. I still get ants trying to come in the kitchen window every spring. Not a big deal, since I still have the same trays with the same bug snubs with the same goo in them set up the same way. And they still work just as well! As soon as we see the first ants, we set out baits and get them gone before they set up shop. In the meantime, I don’t worry about them getting into everything because the bug snubs are still working like new. Still one of the best things I ever bought.

I ordered this thinking I had probably just wasted more money as nothing I tried kept ants from getting in the outdoor cat food bowl. Holy cow; it actually works! I installed the feet with gel on the bottom of a cookie sheet and placed the water and food bowls on a no skid mat on top of the cookie sheet. It worked immediately. The ants can’t get to the bowls as long as the tray isn’t touching anything they can climb on. If you struggle with wasted food bowls full of ants, this is the remedy. It’s so simple but SO EFFECTIVE! And it’s safe to use around pets! Perfect!!

I originally had these placed on the bottom of a set of patio deck covers that held a cat auto-feeder and a cat fountain. The covers looked great but ended up sagging over time and collecting cat food in the cracks, and eventually the ants found out about all of this and started their invasion. So terrible idea overall.Eventually I decided to just get simple food trays instead and transfer the old legs over to the trays. To my utter astonishment, the gel was still there (as in, it hadn't dried up at all), and the adhesive still worked - this was after a year of having them support the tiles. I reapplied the gel and then just stuck them to the bottom of the trays. So everything works, looks great (mostly because of the trays though - you can't see the legs), the ants are gone (so far), and the cat is happy.Fair warning - I found the gel to be EXTREMELY difficult to remove. I guess there was no reason for me to remove it in the first place when I was transferring the legs over, but I wanted to start anew with new gel packs. I tried soap and water at first, which didn't do much, and then I just wiped it away but due to the construction of the legs, there is a place at the base where the gel will just stay no matter what you try. So if you need to start over with clean legs for whatever reason, you're better off just buying new ones, but again - I just don't think you need to clean them in the first place.

I could not keep the bugs and ants out of my feral cat's kibble. Even daddy long leg spiders were getting into the food. And this is despite the fact that I had the food in a bowl, sitting inside of another bowl filled with water. I was constantly throwing out the kibble.I had a small old plastic tray that was the perfect size to hold 2 cat bowls: one for water and one for kibble. I attached the legs, applied the packet gel inside the legs, put it outside with the food and water bowls. No more bugs!!! It's been out there for a month and no bugs. Even if the cat drops a few kibbles outside the bowl, they land on tray. No bugs/no ants. BugSnub, my kitty cat thanks you!

I chose to purchase my own trays, so I ordered just the legs. (This way I could also use different size pans then the product company offered). Super easy to install with double sided adhesive pads, I put the legs a little closer to the edge as some reviews stated the pan sold with legs on them, were not near enough to the edge leading to being a little less stable, thus also my reason for my own pans. The gel was easy to apply, I squirt a packet (it comes with a packet for each leg) in the well of the legs and evenly spread it out with just a wooden dowel I had laying around. Super easy, sturdy and a much better setup then the other ant proof bowl ideas on the market. I live in a multi unit condo so a couple times a year those pesky crazy ants show up. After this unique product, I've not seen any ants whatsoever!
