My husband hangs our feeders with fishing line, which he has dipped in
mineral oil.  We have not been troubled with ants since.

My hummingbird feeders are attached to the red water cups, the cups attached
to a hanger which is attached to a tree. The cups are supposed to deter
ants. Somehow I have a species of big red ants that don't mind water. They
are getting into my feeders somehow. Any suggestions appreciated.
