Maggie B/South Jersey RE: Ants in hummingbird feeders Last year I wrote in that we had success with glopping cheap Vaseline on the wire our feeder hung on. No problems at all. Then about 3 weeks ago the ants found it again. The Vaseline didn't work, and when it got into the high 90's the Vaseline slid off the wire anyway. We finally tried fishing line. It worked so far. I'm sure the neighbors wondered what my DH was doing throwing a tin foil ball up into the tree a few times. No way to access the limb we wanted to use, so he put a rock into foil and taped or wrapped the line securely and threw until got it over the limb. Our feeder is plastic, and we only use about a cup of liquid, so 5 LB test line worked for us. Now our hummers come and eat and aren't afraid anymore.

Response to Maggie/S.Jersey, re ants and the hummingbird feeder. I spray the top 6 inches or so, of the hanger with Pam (or equivalent spray), then coat with Cat Flea Powder. Works great and keeps out the Earwigs (pincher bugs!) too. Next time I'll try dusting Cinnamon instead, because of the positive reviews by one of our members about ants in her house.
