A few days ago I hung 2 feeders on shepherds crook poles. A hummer has found it. Great. However...tiny ants found it as well. I have heard about some preventative measures. I was in Lowes today. The only option they had was this sort of popup hanger with repellant. I don't want to use something like that. What anti-ant measures are y'all using?

Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
