- These little birds can do a lot of damage...but even when they peck metal, it is NOISY. So a little simple tip for you guys, requiring only string, a little duct tape, and a couple piece of aluminium to get rid of woodpeckernoise no matter where the woodpecker is hanging out.

Update: the Woodpecker never came back to the chimney with this solution applied! Though after a couple weeks, cause i only attached them with duct tape, the plates fell off in a wind storm lol...but still no woodpecker back so far. And to anyone who thinks I generated more noise by hanging those things - no, it is actually FAR less noise than the woodpecker, and far less penetrating.
We had exactly the same problem. The wee bugger was drumming on our outside bedroom metal gutter. 6.30 am..
Also out up some foil baking pans and silver foil tape..he has came back once or twice but it's better. The bloody wind keeps flipping the bake pans up onto then roof. Good luck .
Meh, if I had a woodpecker problem like that I'd break out the ol' sniper rifle.
That's funny you said that about 8:00 a.m. LOL
I was going to sleep in today but I guess the damn woodpecker isn't today, I've tried old CDs I've tried shiny stuff they are very determined ugh... So frustrating...
It seems like whenever I am just starting to fall back asleep, it's a damn thing comes back...
Oh, but of course it does not come by the days that I need to get up early 🤔 maybe that's because more people are out idk...
Seems like I will scare it away and it'll be gone for a little bit and then I have heard a couple times I think my neighbors yelling at it because soon after I will hear it on my home again ughh...
Also another thing, my home is made of all wood siding, I've been here since 2016, and I've had woodpecker problems and tried many different things, there's holes all over the damn place even though I have people come to fix it whenever I can.
Great tips. Now the only problem is I'm not climbing all the way up there.
LOL, I can't believe it! I googled "intermittent grinding noise in fireplace chimney" and this video popped up. That's exactly the noise I was hearing and we have woodpeckers all around. Now all I have to do is to figure out how to get up to the top of my very steep roof. Thanks a lot!
They do this specifically because it makes their pecking so much louder. The HVAC guy said to put rubber on the top so it would deaden the sound the next time it pecked. One rubber turntable mat later... silence.
All I need now is to get myself a woodpecker
Plot-Twist. 7 days later, Woodpecker brought his friends to BRRRRRRRRT these shiny things from 7am on.
Thank you very much for your video. This noise starts to bother me every morning at 6 am.
So grateful for this video! I have been hearing the same sound for a week and today I was able to capture it on video then compared it to your video… problem half way solved….now I just have to try your “removal” method. Thanks again!
You have to admit letting you sleep until 8am is pretty freaking generous of the woodpecker. He could have started at 5am or first light of sun. Instead he gave you a few hours.
LoL that’s so funny he chose your chimney to peck. I can imagine the noise is disturbing-but I still think it would be cool to have him around 😁
it's not super fun when you're sleeping and suddenly BBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
And it's not cool when the little peckers start doing damage
You get to sleep until 8am??
Great job filming Nat.
Where we used to live years ago we would be treated with the machine gun sound of these woodpeckers pecking on our rain gutters. Soon as early Spring came around each year they would start around 6am. You could hear them answering each other, as another one would be drilling on the rain gutter of a nearby house. They only did it in early Spring, so maybe it was some kind of mating call to attract each other.
Thank you! Our woodpecker on furnace pipe problem has our 3 year old scared out of her pants - she doesn't even want to come into the house because it's so loud and disruptive!
Question: do you have to worry about the string used/duct tape in terms of fire hazard?
Good to know thanks for the information, thanks for sharing
That was a perfect video. Keep it up. BTW thanks for the idea, I live in the forest, too.
Tangle foot is the product on the sticky cards,dab of that up there he won't be back, and no noise from pie pans. Big fan Lex
I used bird gel (same concept) and it worked great!
Having this exact issue...good info.😂
My furnace is under the roof which I really hate but had no choice because homebuilder built like that when I bought my house. I hear noise and woodpecker might chew on my roof . I have no tree near my house so not sure how to deal with it yet and it can damage my house because water gets through the holes that woodpecker do to my roof
God forbid !! I had my Vogel colleague sit on a siren during the Cold War ... and that for years !! You heard it over 8 km away ... that was in Hoheneck, in Germany near Ludwigsburg ...... may someone remember it ?? We moved away in 1969, but we could still admire it for years
Too funny, good luck 👍
I would have crafted a dome shape from metal mesh and fastened it as well as I could to the top of the chimney. This way the woodpecker wouldn't have had a solid surface to drill on. If it comes back you will have one more option up your sleeves. Take care :-)
Hurray, got rid of woodpecker’s pecking at 8 AM, but now have to live with Aluminum containers noise 24/7.
I'm glad someone pointed that out lol.
I can't hear the aluminum containers from inside the house; they're making noise, I'm sure, but it's less penetrating... unless there's like 50 km/hr winds and I'm in a particular spot...but the woodpecker noise penetrated HARD all the way down the chimney, into the basement and through the whole house.
@@LexsLounge I saw videos of people hanging moving flashy spiral ribbons and it works without any noise. Good luck and may you live in peace.
The "Aluminum containers noise 24/7." No thank you! The pecker is only pecking on our metal roof vent for a short time during mating season. The Aluminum noise maker would be more constant and annoying.
A woodpecker broke the seal around my furnace vent from banging on it. When it rained the water ruined my furnace and we had lots of water damage. All from the stupid wood pecker!! 😢
Nice idea, at out old house we just threw snow balls at the thing lol
You put something that bangs on your chimney to stop something banging on your chimney... Nice
I hope he remembers the duct tape before he fires up the wood/pellet stove.
Cool video. I have a nuisance woodpecker here in Arizona. Wakes me up every morning. I will try this. Thanks.
LOL not your typical posting. I had the same problem a number of years ago fortunately it only lasted a few days. He must have found a mate.
Ha, I guess you are a late sleeper huh?
Can you send him over to my place? 8 o'clock is fine. lol
We will try this. The bastard is drilling our chimney cover as I'm posting this.
Quite frankly, I get a kick out of this, figuring a woodpecker is attracted to the noise also.🤪
Give him some alternate thing a bit away, to pick on, they do it for territory reasons and to attract a mate.
Metal is best, they go for whats making the loudest noise.
The way to show him, I AM THE ALPHA BIRD HERE!
In the state where I live, it's against the law to shoot ANY birds except starlings and sparrows.
So no more machine gunning noise 😁😁👍👍
Wake up at 8am?? Hell, I'm at work before then! Lazy B, get out of bed before lunch!
Funny how many people equate getting up anytime other than daybreak with laziness. What were they doing between 9:00 pm and 3:00 am when I’m working downtown sans commute hassles or in my shop enjoying zero distractions? Sleeping? Ya buncha lazies! (😜)
Complaining about being woken up at 8am every morning?! What time do you normally get up?
Hey that's a neat trick, the movement would put him off .
Dang man, you get to sleep past 8?
To stop a morning noise. You installed a 24x7 noise maker system. Good brain work 😂😂😂😂
Ok, what I lerned: Shoo away the woodpecker, which makes noise, with something, that makes noise. Sounds logical.
Wow man that's pretty crazy we have one on our oak tree but I can't imagine it banging on metal...woody enjoys irritating humans I guess
Now u have a new noise...😂
Just glue a piece of rubber mat to the top of the vent.
I have this same exact problem omg most annoying sound ever at first I thought it was my water pipes rattling from pressure glad I know the problem now definitely a wood pecker and I see his nesting home high in a tree in my property.
Why not attach a high angle cone?
Yes, in particular, a squirrel baffle. But then how do you attach it?
@@FR-tb7xh with a vibrator.
Leave the woodpecker to it! Adorable!
My dad and I call it the Deranged Metalpecker
a piece of tar padded roof isolation .
You scared him away OR he found the mate he was looking for and didn't need to call her again.
That's not a Woodpecker, it's Metalpecker !
Shotgun is always loud
Maybe glue a thick rubber pad to the top of the chimney.
r u kidding he'll just eat it like candy!
Good idea. Are you wearing eyeliner 👀?
Couldn't you glue a piece of rubbery material to the top so he wouldn't be interested in tapping on it?
Perhaps...but what is this rubbery material that can withstand the beak of the pecker for a prolonged period without being torn to shreds?
@@LexsLounge
I'm definitely no authority on the subject, just thinking of possibilities. There are some pretty thick mats used for people to stand on, etc. But I was thinking the woodpeckers might not want to peck on it because it doesn't have the metal sound. Also, the ones here who love hammering on the metal shed only do so for a short while. I assume they find the mate they were possibly calling and move on to raising a family. Anyway, the hammering on the metal stops and I hear them on the poles, trees, etc. getting insects.
Glue cotton wool to the top of the chimbley
Put something sharp like a set of nails upside down with glue and you'll be good 2go.
Bird drives Rivets!
Put a microphone inside attached to a 500w speaker and see what reaction you get from the woodpecker.
It’s trying to make a loud sound to attract a mate, you’ll just help it.
@@vogelvogeltjeBe great to see, the bird would think its woken up as Pavarotti lol
Damn that thing is loud lol
This just happened this morning. I checked my whole house. Then sat next to the fireplace, it's been off with spring weather, and heard it loud and clear. I even heard bird noises and thought there was no correlation. Lots of reports of this online.
So your trading one annoying sound for another
😂😂
Your woodpecker wakes you at 8 AM you say...Why are you still asleep at 8AM? Get up and don't waste your day!
Also, I'd love to swap with you for an apparently confused urban European robin singing riiiight in front of my window or nearby, that won't let me fall asleep after 11PM and would wake me repeatedly between 2 and 5 AM (not anymore since I use wax earplugs).
Riiight that's what I'm sayin who sleeps at 8am?
Thank you 🤙I shot my woodpecker
CALL OF DUTY MODERN WARFARE!
Not possible when you’re 70 with a 3 story house!
I am not a fan of Woodpeckers or Doves. I have had both. The Doves coo in the morning and I have them from time to time now. I haven't yet been able to see them at work because by the time I get up and get to it they are gone. In the past I have eliminated them and will do that again. As to the Woodpecker, the last one I had a problem with was pecking away at a knot I had in the painted Cedar siding of an earlier house. I made a small hand slingshot using rubber bands and a women's metal hair clip as a projectile. You just pull back on the clip. We used to make them as kids. Directed, high velocity fire that is easy to control and accurate but not damaging. It "discouraged" the Woodpecker and eliminated the problem. I am not likely to hang anything on top of the house to make noise. I have a tree line behind my house and you can hear them there. I wasn't aware it was part of their mating call. No internet back in those early days.
Such A Great mistake U! Committed, Even W/ Ur Kindness !
That was Honer of Natural Order of Sacred Alarm Clock for U to hear or Wake Up !
Can we smoke them off
You look like Mika Zibanajad. Also, a car battery hooked up to the chimeny is a much more elegant solution. I used it, and kept all birds off my metal chimney. You can also just strip an electrical cord and hook that up to the chimney, but the birds smell more after they land and fall into your yard. But you'll be popular with the neighborhood cats.
Woody.
So i either put up with the woodpecker, lose my sanity and the cops dont come or i can make a flashy noisemaker that supposedly will repel the woodpecker but make even more continous noise, drive me to drink and have neighbors calling the cops on me for it. Or I get driven from the neighborhood by angry neighbors. All to be nice to a ****ing little bird!!
the noisemaker is way, way quieter than the pecking. It's not close.
Every loser bragging about how early they wake up in the comment section.
Well just think. He's a great alarm.
To be awakened by a woodpecker has to be a good omen. Yes ?
At least he wasn't pecking on the house.
To be wakened by 8 ish , is just right. At least you can be part of the dat
lol actually he (or a different woodpecker) was pecking on the rear of the workshop too - siding on the workshop is just wood....put another aluminum deterrent up there just today.
Yep ! 8AM is the time.
I get my pellet gun loaded and start making my way around home keeping my distance.
Problem is, he can see through walls.
Before i came out the corner, he flies away.
You really should reconsider using pellet guns in favor of less destructive means. The reason being that pallets are bad idea is of course the lead contained in them. Should a predator or a vulture gets ahold of that bird, that animal or God forbid and eagle, would get lead posing. An animal needlessly suffering because of a thoughtless act of cruelty towards what ends up the predator's dinner.
If you think that's nothing that you are interested in apex predators such as eagles, I encourage you to check out RUclips channel Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah, which was founded by Martin Tyner, who is a federally licensed Falconer, wildlife rehabilitator, and of sorts an educator. Seriously, this man and his wife Susan are amazing with the work they do when it comes to rescuing, rehabbing and releasing apex predators.

Another asshole who sleeps at 8 am
Pepper spray on the chimney would probably work too. Something about the Capsaicin that keeps most animals away. Its easy to make your own. I make it to keep rabbits off the jasmin ground cover. I have learned this spray works on nearly all animal problems.
Capsaicin works for mammals (rodents esp.), but birds don’t mind it at all. In fact, all of my bird suet contains capsaicin - it keeps the squirrels and chipmunks away!
U still hanging on gme bro
yeah though i had a pretty token amount of it as i said in that video...i couldn't even tell you the price right now lol!
@@LexsLounge i always leave watching ur videos till before bed thats when i get free time #DaddyDuties 🤣yeah i should take your approach ive been watching the prices like crazy im on AMC/KOSS/GME also its been a rough ride but im a believer.👌🤞✌
SHOOT a woodpecker ??? (Give us a break. You would destroy that chimney and never hit it. )
A good pellet gun will take care of that problem.
🤣 sounds like a hammer drill not so funny if it’s your house I suppose.
So no Pecker noise, but now metal noise? I'd prefer the Pecker.
Find a local falconer...sorted!
😀
that's no easy task....
I have 7 boys. Multiple bb, pellet, 22lr, 223, and shotguns.
Break barrel pellet gun..solved 💨✌🏽
Turn the furnace on dummy
noooo.....cause 1st, that takes a couple minutes to fire up; so i'd already be woken up with my sleep ruined and i'd likely have to repeat it a few days in row for it to MAYBE work....2nd, i don't know how long that'd last - wouldn't the woodpecker return once the chimney is no longer releasing a plume of smoke a few min later?....3rd, turning on the heating furnace randomly in April when it's already pretty warm in the house isn't the ideal solution.
@@LexsLounge shotgun?
not going to lye mine still might get shot
12 ga.
If you have to be waked at 8 then i dont blame the bird. To be sleeping way past 8. OMG
BB gun took care of mine never came back
We had a problem like this. Drove my fiance crazy. I promised her I wouldn't hurt the woodpecker, so went over to my mom's old garage and got my bb gun. She's none the wiser
I love it, but saying you would shoot it, is ridiculous. He is a free alarm clock. Your house was built in his home area.
BB gun.
If a wood pecker wakes you up get tf over it they aren’t even that loud.. most people would not get pie sheets most people just leave animals alone
