Tanglefoot might work if you first wrap the tree with a 1 1/2" wide
strip of soft foam then wrap over that snugly all the way around with

It looks like the detergent foam did the trick. The ants recovered
their old trail within a couple of hours, but they also noticed the
new bait station.

Thanks for everybody's replies!
