Laurie asks

Can ultrasound plug-in pest controls harm caged birds? Thanks

Hi Laurie

I would not take the chance – if its an ionic version it can definitely be harmful

From a manufacturer’s website.

Birds – Birds vary so much in size, breed and behavior. We have no way to guarantee the Ultimate AT will or will not bother your bird. To be safe, we recommend not using the AT in the same room as your bird, or near the birds cage. Some customers have reported their birds seem bothered by the ultrasound; other customers tell us their birds seem just fine.
