Comments (12)Jim, I have had success using Imidacloprid in a systemic insectcide produced by Gordon's called ImidiPro. It is used as a soil drench and as a foiler application with local systemic penetration. It can take a few weeks to start working. Also, I have use Abamactin in a miticide/Insecticide produced by Syngenta called Avid 0.15EC. Avid also works on the dreaded Pacific Bamboo mite and not to mention spider mites. I obtain both products mailorder from Florida from Sunshine Gardens, George and Hope Lewis, email hope at hglumis@comcast.net. They are a lovely older couple that are quite knowledgeable. These products are expensive, but a little goes a long way and Sunshine sells them about as reasonable as it gets. Hope this helps. -Steve...See Moreinjured bird
Comments (2)Sorry, I just now saw your post. There is a hummingbird rescue center a bit south of you in Chula Vista (619/420-5156), but I've also attached a listing of various wildlife rescue operations in your area......just scroll down to the proper region. With an injured hummer, time is of the essence. That he is feeding is a good sign but I wouldn't delay getting him seen to by professsionals. Please let us know what happens. Here is a link that might be useful: wildlife rescue/rehab facilities...See MoreHelp with Injured Hummer - What to do! ? PICS
Comments (6)OMG THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOUUUUU! Bless you for responding. I had just cross-posted this on the Bird forum because time was passing and I didn't want to do anything wrong! I've feed them for years. The same guys stick around all year, very territorial. I figured two of them butted heads and this one went down. But after finding so much doo-doo caked on the little leg I was maybe thinking it was a youngin that had been in the nest and tried to fly, but didn't. I added a few more pics and right now while I'm on the computer trying to find out what to do, I have him next to me...the screen is stapled except for one side. OK, I'll take him back outside, keep offering Hummer Juicy and find some worms to squish up. I happen to have a ton of aphids on one bush, would that be OK to mush up and try to feed? Hopefully you are right on and he's just trying to get his energy back up. Again, THANK YOU, sincererly...from the bottom of our hearts! Amity...See MorePet hummingbird
