Hello,

Yes, use an ant moat; you can buy them online or make your own. See the link below for making your own ant moat out of a small can.

Thank You I will try it.

I having a hanging feeder, so I don't know if your's is different, but I have mine hung with fishing line and have not had a problem with ants yet. (It's been up about a month.) My husband read that the fishing line was too narrow for the ants to climb, yet strong enough to hold the feeder (ours holds two cups of nectar). I live in Georgia, so ants are a way of life for me.

Good luck!
