Woodpecker solution.

I think I figured it out. You have to get a number the Hawk decoys. Not just one or two. The Peckers were setting up shop here for a few weeks. Very irritating. So I doubled down with,, more Hawk scare crows and all round the property. The Peckers all left, and have not been back. $15 dollars a piece for five Hawk decoys seems a reasonable cost, cause I can't just shot them. Anyway the point is, you need more than one or two.

Depending on how big the woodpeckers are ... Cats could probably encourage them to leave ... I had a bunch of barn swallows that thought my porch and deck were great places ... Until I got my cats!

I welcome woodpeckers, they eat all the mud dabber larvae before they hatch out. It is annoying though when they are pecking on an aluminum window frame.

Are they wood peckers or flickers? In my experience, it's flickers that go after buildings.
