Good luck. I'm a bit north of their range and haven't seen any in years.

You'll get ants to visit, if nothing else.

Never noticed those at my mom's house. Could do without the flies, but the bees are ok.

I've got lots of hummingbirds around here. Don't be tricked into buying that store bought hummingbird food. Just use 4 parts water to one part sugar. Boil the water first before you add the sugar. Keep a close watch that ants don't find the feeder and plug it up. I clean mine thoroughly before adding more juice. Use a tooth pick and poke it in the feeding hole in the flowers to make sure they haven't sealed up. Hummingbirds are fun to watch---especially when they fight over the feeder.

I saw them often when I was a kid living in Delaware.

I do have a lot of birds who decided to make themselves at home here now. Mostly finches and doves.

Way back, I had a country hotel/bar way out in the sticks. I knew the owner pretty good since we stayed there every year for the first weekend of trout season. I used to open her private entrance to drop her packages. She must have had 10 hummingbird feeders outside her door.

Those little buggers were so used to people, I'd have to wave them away from my face.

Today is June 18th. So far this summer I have seen 3 mosquitoes and zero wood ticks. I don't know what is going on ---- but I like it.

Even the wood has ticks up there?

There is an area biker bar that has wood tick races.
