dont give the water a way out or a way in... Set the Box in the shade of the north side of the house. ants are less likely to fool around with that cold ground.
closer to the foundation of the house you get the colder the ground will be....
there is a metal screen "door screen" you can get small enough mesh that ants cant get in...
if you realy need a water drain hole find the smallest drill you can find, "1/64th" and put in a couple holes insted of one big hole...
add torn up news paper as bedding and change it once or twice during the season, the wetter it gets the more often you need to change it....
Use moss as a bedding insted of the paper fiber bedding. there is a moss worm bedding tho I havent seen it in some time... the moss will continue to soak up water and the worms will feed on it...
I could gooogle the up for ya, but you are about as good at it as I am....
