Always use fresh water and sugar to make your hummingbird feed. Old ingredients can promote mold growth.
Clean your feeders every few days to prevent mold. Rinse with hot water and scrub any residue.
Only fill feeders halfway to reduce the chance of feed sitting too long and molding.
Keep unused feed in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent premature spoiling.
Consider adding a small amount of white vinegar to the feed. It can help prevent mold growth.
Regularly check and refill feeders as needed. Avoid leaving feed in the feeder for extended periods.
Place feeders in shaded areas to minimize heat exposure, which can accelerate mold growth.
