Ants in my apple trees

Any advice on a non chemical way to keep them off? I've been knocking them off with the sprinkler, but they're right back when I remove the sprinkler.

Thank you,
Mog

you can get a tape you put around a tree to stop the ants,. You have to replace it when it gets full, but the ants get stuck and cant' cross tothe upper end.
