Keep Woodpeckers Off Wooden Siding
Because of this when woodpeckers begin pecking your home and causing damage you must use a non lethal control method to get rid of them.
Keep woodpeckers off wooden siding. This method works particularly well if they are attacking your cedar siding in search of insects set these up away from your house and the woodpeckers should leave you alone. Woodpeckers like most north american birds are protected by federal laws meaning that you cannot legally kill them as a pest control method. Woodpeckers can find even this wood irresistible and they will start to make a hole in it in no time. Woodpecker suet cakes are one of these birds favorite foods.
If you notice woodpeckers pecking and prying your wood siding or trim a call to the exterminator may be warranted as it may mean you have bees termites or other insect invaders to address. Feed them with woodpecker suet cakes. Keep large trees away from the house. These cakes are placed inside a woodpecker suet feeder where they can rest and chow down.
Besides the problem of the hole in your siding it can also attract other birds or even squirrels that will see it as the perfect place for a nest.
