Why the ants coming to my feeders?

Hi, I don't know much about the ants. Simply know that they are attracted to the sugar.
Maybe that's why they are attracting to my hummingbird feeders as well. But I have tried
my best to block them by using the special bee guard feeders

with ant moat function. But still they can manage to reach to my feeder. Let me know how I can completely
prevent them from reaching to my bird feeders.

Is it placed on the ground or is it hung up to the ceiling? If it's placed on the ground then you can place a dish or a tray and fill it with water and mix it with a little soap so the ants won't be able to reach it. If it's hung up then it can be quite hard, you can place it on the ground instead and protect it with the method used for the one that's placed on the ground.

Any easy fix could be to change the location. Not having it hung on the same tree but on a different tree. Another solution could be to have a barrier of teflon around the outside so the ants might slip and fall off.
