No experience with ultrasonics but I use squirrel guards on the posts that hold bird feeders and above hanging feeders. Not unlike this https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/audubon-cone-squirrel-baffle except I fabricate them from a roll of thin aluminum trim covering (like roofers use). The only problem is the aluminum is soft and the center hole enlarges. Thye commercial steel ones last longer. Since we adopted the cat colony abandoned by a former neighbor (10 still living) the squirrel problem is solved but the cats (as fat as they are) occasionally get a bird.

I wonder if anyone has used an ultrasonic repellent to repel squirrels with any success. Such as this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Diaotec-Rodent-Squirrel-Repellent-Ultrasonic-Pest-D eterrent-Control-Chaser/174518089479?hash=item28a216b707:g:6R4AAOSwoP5fr18b Or this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Waterproof-Solar-Power-Ultrasonic-Animal-Repellent- Dog-Squirrel-Deterrent-Kit/224363176474?hash=item343d16621a:g:NUQAAOSwwhdgNX NR My current control measure is to open the back door and yell at them, which works for up to 60 seconds.
