Keeping ant's off your feeder.

Ant's are determined and resourceful little pests. If you're looking for a magical easy fix? Well I am sorry to say that there isn't one. There are many ways to deter them, some mentioned here on my site. Many more on the internet. All of the methods are either tedious or slightly messy. Most all the methods you find will work effectively. All I can say is try a couple and see which one you can be happy with. No matter which method you choose, you need to check your feeder daily to make sure they haven't found a way around your road block. Cause like I said they are very resourceful.

Hummingbird Feeder time is NOW.

It's that time once again to get those feeders out. This time of year it is best to only fill them half way in order to save on nectar because you will only see a few this time of year and you want to keep it fresh by changing it out every week or so. Remember, they like fresh food as much as we do. So please change it out  regularly to keep it fresh.
The more often you change the nectar out to keep it fresh, the larger number of birds you will attract on a regular basis.
