How about an "ant moat"? A container of water (which requires frequent re-filling), or better yet, DE (diatomaceous earth). Put the base of the legs in the stuff-of-choice so that the ants would have to crawl through it to get to the prize. I use DE at the base of my dining-room table, and at the base of my laundry hamper. No more ants on the table or in the laundry.
