How to keep animals out of trash, there are crows that keep ripping open our garbage which in turn attracts more animals. All advice is appreciated!
Use an ant most. It's a cup you fill with water that attaches above the feeder. Also be sure there aren't branches close to and above the feeder to the side. Ants will drop down on the feeder from close branches.
If you put corn meal where they come by way of their trail, or at the foot of the hummingbird feeder, it will stop them. Here is a tutorial. This is SAFE, inexpensive, and WORKS. https://www.hometalk.com/diy/outdoor/pest-repeller/ants-safe-and-effective-cure-36651130
