Would anyone have tips on keeping ants off a hummingbird feeder?

Chalk... go out and get some sidewalk chalk and draw a circle around the post of the feeder.

Ants can't cross a chalk line.

Where my cats are
I'm having the darnedest time with ants in my kitchen this year. (coming up on the counters from behind the stove somewhere, and congregating inside the dishwasher!) We put new traps out last week and we've been spraying them with windex when we see them. Next year I'm drawing a chalk line around the outside of the house!

They make an ant guard specifically for hummer feeders
they look like this



you can also buy them with the ant guard built in




Can you please send some hummers my way? I miss my little guys this year
