Hang small plastic grocery bags upside down- I pinned them at the top with push pins - they have been up there in strong winds and are fine. They eerily float around and look like live creatures - The wood peckers have not been back since I put them up - two months now
I've had a problem with wood peckers for years. And why they are a federaly protected bird I have no idea why? They are a nuisance and I've killed several of them. So I guess that I'm a criminal? I did however find a cure. I had one this year banging on my gutter and watched a video where you hang up old CD's where they like to beat on gutters and such and the banging stopped.
They fill up my fireplace with acorns! Any place they see a hole, they will put as many acorns that it will fit. Now they are pecking the Eve's and it's a 2 story house.
Lotta people here seem confused as to why woodpeckers want to eat, live someplace, and attract a mate. That being said, I also wonder how many are struggling with the same concerns the woodpecker has.
Worthless information. I have a flock of Pecan Woodpeckers that have ruined 2 structures with hundreds of holes. Thousands of $ in damages. I don’t have the time to stand there all day and throw ice cubes at them... The only thing that works is a shotgun.
I had five holes pecked, immediately put Flex tape over them and I put up small plastic grocery bags upside down , pinned at the top and they float eerliy and look like live creatures - they have been up there in strongs winds - I used push pins to tack them up - the woodpecker has not been back for two months now
If it's destroying ur home shoot them, no other way around unless you wanna spend thousands of dollars in repairs! And they will continue to drill your home!
Bird people are more bazzare than horse people. I’m more like Elmer Fudd, I’ll just blast em !! LOL !!

We have woodpeckers and other birds making holes in our Saguaro Cactus. How do we stop them?

If I had a possum or a cat digging underneath my house I would trap it and kill it, why would a hole drilling wood pecker be any different?
A cat? You would kill a cat? May karma visit you
Well, my property is mine. And if I get him in my sights. He's mine.

I dont want to scare my hummingbirds away. Just the others. How do you get rid of the others without losing my hummingbirds?
