Actually, spray on belt dressing would probably do the trick and take less time
than grease. Assemble the unit, spray the entrance with belt dressing. It will
stay there for a long time, stay sticky and the ants generally will avoid it.

Dielectric grease works, I was going to recommend Vasoline on the entrance,
around the inside and on the cable right where it enters.
We've got Argentine ants here. We have to go as far as putting automotive
grease on electrical lines coming in, lines run to lamp posts, network cable,
coax, etc...
We finally seem to have fought them back, but the little buggers live in Pine
trees, which we have no shortage of.
I also learned that they don't like Febreeze. It was what I had on hand one
day, sprayed them so I could wipe them up with a paper towel and get them out
of the floor. They avoided that spot on the floor for a month or two. I started
spraying Febreeze around all the seams where I normally spray poison. Worked
for years. I think they've finally grown to like Febreeze now...

The only part that they could really bother is the copper port. Put some
dielectric grease in there maybe?

I apologize for the third email, I am still figuring out posting on the
Animal Farm list! We are having problems with ants taking up a nest inside of
our radios, has anyone come across a good solution of sealing the antennas up
to keep them out? I attached a picture to this message since it was not coming
up correctly embedded in the email. I know that we can get some ant spray to
control them that way, but there has to be an easier way of permanently keeping
them out of the antennas:

If anyone has ideas or solutions that you have tried that works please
let me know!
