Perhaps you should try a feeder that is designed to keep these pests out of the nectar or try a feeder that accepts a nectar guard.
Aspects Nectar Guard Tip Replacements
Nectar Guard Tips slide onto the feeding ports on the underside of the cover. They’re a flexible membrane that opens easily for a hummingbird’s beak but flying insects can’t get through.
Use with Aspects HummZinger Ultra and HummZinger Fancy feeders.
These guards work on
Aspects humming bird feeders
Or you could try a more traditional feeder with the guards already in place.
