Carol, I have tons of house sparrows feeding at my feeders during the winter too. I try to trap but if that doesnt’ work sometimes I just grit my teeth waiting for spring to come and then I put the trap out again. I will not let the HOSP spoil my enjoyment of watching the feeding winter birds. Now, the suet problem is starting to really irritate me. The HOSP all over my suet and peanut feeders!! It does infuriate me but I never get to the point where I take down my feeders because of it. But that’s my choice.
