Default Ants In Hummingbird Feeder

Does anyone have any slick ideas for keeping ants from invading
hummingbird feeders?


I drilled a small hole through the center of the end of a 1" copper piping end
cap, and soldered the center of an 8" piece of copper wire through it. Then bent
both ends of the wire into hooks. Hang it, hang the feeder from it, and fill the
cap with water.
