...you don't :o) The ants don't seem to bother the butterflies...aside from making them twitch their wings if they start crawling on them. I have a variety of wire hanging baskets/plates and logs I hang from my trees and plant brackets. I move them around to keep the ants from accumulating. I also have some wire trellises (similar to tomato cages) that I'll lay a piece of wood on and brush bait on the wood (I literallly get a paintbrush and brush on with the bait mixture).

I'll have to take photos of what I use in my yard when it's daylight and share those later.

Here's an old photo of one of the logs at the NABA Park.
