Ants won't cross water.   Make a moat with 2 terra cotta pots.  One upside down to stand

your strawberry pot on - and a larger one that you fill with water.  Strawberry Island

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Get some chalk and draw around the pot. Ants will not cross over chalk. You'l have to repeat the chalk lines after rain wased them away.

Or set your pot on stones in a larger saucer type dish and fill the dish with water. Again, ants will not cross water.

 

Good luck with the next crop of juicy strawberries.
