Tabasco,

I never could make myself pay that much for a mister when waterhose nozzles and sprinklers can do the trick.

When I have time to sit out on the back porch I sometimes move a sprinkler close to a tree so that the water reaches several branches. The hummies will zip through the water and if I'm lucky and fast enough with the camera I get to see one actually perched on a branch taking a shower :o)

I've also hooked the waterhose nozzle over a branch and set it to a gentle spray or mist when the hummies are out and about.
