a woodpecker and his mate have found a new roost: under the eaves of our porch--it has become brian's mission to put an end to their happy habitating..so we looked up what to do online and found:
Prevention:
Woodpecker prevention is based upon physical barriers and scare techniques. Physical barriers created in pecking areas will help. Commonly these are made of steel mesh. Noise scare techniques are also effective in some cases.
in this case, his closest scare technique was a compound bow lying around in the basement. . ha! (don't worry, he didn't shoot them--but they must have gotten "scared" because we have not seen them since!)
