Drumming behavior is probably to establish a territory or attract a mate and will most likely stop once breeding has begun in the spring. If the siding of the house is completely aluminum or vinyl, the primary aggravation may be the sound of a woodpecker drumming on a gutter or chimney.The fascia boards may also become infested with carpenter bees. However, if the fascia boards of the house are made of wood, they may sustain damage from woodpeckers drumming on the wood in which case there will be very small holes in clusters at specific points on the fascia boards. Aluminum/Vinyl Siding – Houses with aluminum or vinyl siding are not typically prone to woodpecker damage.Below are some of the most common siding types to find woodpecker damage according to the Cornell Lab: They usually do not open up a business and call it 3 Generations Home Destruction, but that is exactly what they are doing. Maybe the biggest problem is that once they find a food or storage source, they are not likely to leave and they will pass this knowledge on from generation to generation. If you are located in the West, Acorn Woodpeckers peck dozens or hundreds of acorn-sized holes into large trees or houses, and stash a single fresh acorn into each one. Woodpeckers are particularly fond of the larvae of carpenter bees, leafcutter bees, and grass bagworms.
You may have to call an exterminator to get rid of the underlying insect problem. If the birds are looking for insects, the holes will be small and irregular. Because it is feeding on insects living in the siding.If you need to evict woodpeckers from your home, aim to do so either before or after the nesting season. Nesting holes are usually built in the beginning of the breeding season between late April and May. If the woodpeckers are creating a nest cavity, the hole will be round and large. Because the bird wants to excavate a nest or roost hole.If the birds are drumming for these reasons, they will most likely stop once breeding has begun in the spring (they don’t drum when looking for food). Because it makes a satisfyingly loud noise that proclaims the bird’s territory and attracts a mate.So, why are they pecking your home? According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology woodpeckers hammer houses for one of four reasons: These requests are not just coming from heavily wooded areas such as South Lake Tahoe, we have seen damage in Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Petaluma, Napa and even Sacramento! In this blog post you will read about why woodpeckers are hammering your house, what siding types are most susceptible, some siding solutions and one must watch video!
