Thank you, jaycee..Hope yours goes well..We got no rain and we are in for triple digit temps for awhile.
I had to get out the vaseline for the hummingbird feeder hanger..I saw my first big ant on the feeder since spring.
At least the feeder wasn’t full of ants running all over the sink while I took it apart to wash as it was last ant attack.
I have loved having the hummingbirds this year and sure hope I can keep them til fall.
Meg, I’ve always had an ant problem. And yellow jackets or some stinging pest. I had to clean mine yesterday again. My hose is handy and I now rinse it good before I bring it in because I didn’t like carrying the ants in either. That did solve my problem.
Yesterday, I put a drizzle of clorox at the bottom of the little pole in the bark to see if that would keep the ants from climbing. Its always something. My hummers are fighting like crazy now.
Another hint that has slowed the ants down some. I had to get a new feeder this year and at the top, there is a little well and I keep it filled with water and not many of them can get across the water and they drown or turn around and go down the pole.
