Worst part of living in a log home!

the woodpecker is only interested in insect, which means your post is infected with some kind of pest and it's only doing you a favor pointing it out to you.. It's not doing it for fun or wasting energy it's saying there's food in there..

That's a Pileated Woodpecker....

Woodpeckers were the least of our concern with our cabin, we had a 5 year old male bear that thought it was his duty to naw away at the side of the cabin...well once the old man got a bear permit the problem was solved with a Ruger No.1 306! Now he is sprawled out on the hardwood floor in the form of a rug inside the cabin he was so hell bent on chewing and scratching on.

@csiegert83 Atleast now he has a cozy place to spend winter! LOL

@csiegert83 So what your saying is he actually did get inside? Maybe not the way he wanted to......

just to be an ass - it's a pileated woodpecker, not a red-headed woodpecker. though i know you were just describing it:D

Holy crap! I have the same problem, they peck on mine while im trying to sleep in. I only see them in the morning, Sometimes I see 3 to 5 at a time. If I was awake enough I would shoot them.

**TIP** Next time you put a maintenance coat of stain on your home, add pure cyan oil to it and wear appropriate protection.

Well the same damn bastard is attacking my home. I live in a wood home too. I have a cedar house. I have no insects or bug problem and he wont stop drilling. He has done some serious damage. I want to shoot him too..but it will be hard. I have now hung up all sorts of visual distraction to try and get rid of him. I pray it works and he will leave. I hope he did not do too many damages to your house.
