Does anyone have any slick ideas for keeping ants from invading

I hang mine from an overhead hook using a very fine monofilament fishing
line. The ants do not seem to have figured it out after two years.

Elegant solution - I'm going to try it. I might add that it would be
best to keep the line short so the birds don't snare themselves, or
crimp a spltshot or two on a longer line to keep it visible.
