A woodpecker’s rat-a-tat is nice in the forest. Hearing it from your living room is a different story.
Woodpeckers drum on siding, trim and vents to mark territory, look for insects or start a nest hole. They can leave holes in cedar siding, and sometimes that means there’s an insect problem in the wood.
Woodpeckers are protected under federal migratory bird law. Pest Boss uses humane deterrents and repairs to get them to move on without harming them.
Give Pest Boss a call if you’re seeing any of these:
- Drumming on the house, especially in spring
- Rows of small holes or larger cavities in siding and trim
- Wood chips on the ground below
Also seeing flickers? See our flicker bird removal page. Holes could mean insects in the wood, so see carpenter ants too.
