I finally found what, to me, is s very good ant barrier. I found it online. I have sense bought several more. Instead of being open (like a cup) this thing has it's water enclosed in a dome. The dome helps lessen water lose due to evaporation. On hot days I see the water condensing on the inside of the dome and flowing back into the "pond".

I use a 2 ft piece of plastic tubing to fill it. I insert one end up into the area under the dome, turn on the facet and drive water up into the thing. Works great for filing it.

I use in on my hummingbird feeders and on my handing suet feeders and on my hanging mealworm feeder. Since I started using them, I have had NO ants in any of my feeds.

1- a far away look at it.
2- a close-up view.
