Yes..... bats for sure.  Take the feeders down at dusk, or only make enough to last until late afternoon.  In this heat, the sugar/water starts to ferment very quickly anyway, and makes the hummers sick (vet advice). 

And soon the Orioles will return, and they will drain during the day...

Welcome to the world of Nectar Bats.  We met them in Bisbee 13 years ago.  I would simply take down my porch feeders and "hide" them under/behind porch furniture every night.  

Here we have nesting hummers who feed off our flowers and we don't bother with feeders.
