How to keep wasps off the hummingbird feeders?

It was Imp's idea.

I was just thinking that if they worked for bees, they might for wasps...I saw them in a magazine?

Thanks. I'll look for them online.

I use the yellow plastic wasp traps. I put hummingbird feed in the bottom and hang them a couple of feet away from my feeders. Works great.

Takes care of lots of flies too!

I've never had a problem with wasps at my hummingbird feeder, but i usually don't buy the stuff that smells too sweet.

I have, however, had a problem with ants. I sprinkle cinnamon around and on the feeder to rid the feeder of their presence... they don't like it for some reason.
