You guys are going to give Terrie a hernia, heart attack, or at least cause her to faint.

I called my wife over to see and gave her background... she thought it was pretty funny.

BTW, on topic: We had squirrels that were drinking all the sugar water out of our hummingbird feeders. When it wasn't the squirrels it was millions of Argentine ants.

Who wants to be back on topic. I like this topic change.

Tattle tale!

Nifty, I found a link earlier about hummingbirds. Amazon sells these things called ant moats. You put them on top of the feeders and supposedly the ants can't go around. I'll see if I can find them.


Now, back off topic.

ETA: Okay, here's the ant moat thingies:

And here's a page on keeping other pests out of the hummer feeders:
