We had a woodpecker problem and solved it by suspending the sort of cheap aluminum pie plates that you can buy in the grocery store from the roof overhangs so that in the wind they spun and banged against the side of the house. Five years later, they have not returned.

External Email from: lincoln-boun...@lincolntalk.org Shiny things help. Ribbon, cds. I even got some owl shaped foil hanging things on Amazon and it seems to have worked. With the added benefit of scaring off the birds that nested in our porch!

We have no obvious signs of ants or termites and the friendly pest control guy says we need to wait til Spring to even check or treat anyway?! Has anything worked for you to redirect the woodpeckers?
