Preventing Woodpecker Damage is as Easy as ‘Tap Tap Tap’

wHaT iS tHaT tApPiNg nOiSe?!?

At Cason Wildlife MGMT, we understand the frustration of having a persistent woodpecker causing damage to your residential home. Their pecking and drilling can not only be loud and disruptive, but it can also weaken your home's structure and provide entry points for other pests.

As a leading wildlife control operator, we have a few proven strategies to help protect your home from woodpecker damage:

Physical barriers: Our experts can install bird netting, metal flashing, or chicken wire to prevent woodpeckers from accessing your wood.

Decoys and scare tactics: We can hang fake owls or snakes, or use reflective tape, flashing lights, and noise-making devices to effectively scare woodpeckers away.

Attractant removal: We can trim trees and shrubs near your home to eliminate perches for the woodpeckers. If a tree or shrub is close to the damaged area, we can remove it or cut it back to deter the birds.

Paint and stain application: A fresh coat of paint or stain can make the surface less attractive to woodpeckers and hide the holes.

Hole sealing: We can fill the holes with wood filler or caulk to prevent woodpeckers from reusing them.

At Cason Wildlife MGMT, we act quickly to prevent woodpeckers from causing further damage to your home. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and protect your home from woodpecker damage.
