Hummingbird feeders should be cleaned each time the nectar is changed. The nectar should be changedevery 3 to 4 days or if the nectar is cloudy, moldy of if contaminated by insects or dirt. Hummingbirds are extremely sensitive to the quality of the nectar.
The last of our resident hummingbirds are usually gone by early September, but you may still see migrating birds passing through after that. It is okay - even advisable - to leave a feeder up to assist late migrating birds, but again, you need to change the nectar regularly if you do!
