Hummingbird Feeder
Hummingbird Feeder?
How do I keep insects, such as Wasps, Bees, etc. from taking advantage of my Hummingbird feeders?? I have them positioned in a high traffic area, the birds are used to us by now, and the Wasps and Bees are a nuisance and hazard, since small children are around as weel.
Any good suggestions?
for flying insects, get the hummingbird feeders with a criss cross bee guard across the feeding opening. or you could try stretching something there, but i don’t know what… perhaps onion bags? cut out a section and fasten it around with a rubber band or something.
for ants, attach a small paper cup, or can, or plastic lid above the hummingbird feeder, and coat the inside with some petroleum jelly. i only learned this last year and i was amazed at how effective it is.
i’ve also heard, but not tried, that piling grass clippings around the base of the feeder support keeps ants away.
it IS interesting to watch the birds and the flying insects work out their sharing arrangement. they are quite polite, usually.
