WOODPECKER BIRD CONTROL-INTRODUCTION
Their common name reflects that they routinely peck wood, for food (insects), for shelter (nests), and for drumming to establish territories and attract mates. Woodpeckers may be nuisance or damaging pests when they attack wood structures, but they are federally protected. There are 23 species found in North America.

HABITS
As part of their courtship males and occasionally some females will drum to attract a mate and to announce their territory during breeding season. These critters reach pests status because of their drumming on structures and/ or attacking wood structures. Insects in or on the structure, storing nuts, or preparing a potential nesting site could be the cause of the drumming. For drumming purposes, they prefer substrates, which resonate loudly, such as gutters, vents, metal siding, drain pipes, chimney caps, roof vents, etc. Drumming may be done several times each day and can continue for several days or weeks. It may result in damage to the surface used and/ or a most annoying racket. Cedar and redwood siding is the most preferred surface for nesting.


Woodpeckers are protected by the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act as migratory, non game birds. State laws also protect some species. Exclusion is the best overall bird control technique, but repellents are the preferred choice by most homeowners. In general, decoys do not work. Although treating insect infested wood may have some merit, woodpeckers often attack sound and/or un-infested wood and hence such treatment is not appropriate.

Our woodpecker products help repair damage caused by woodpeckers to wood structures, plus they provide an aromatic, non-toxic, natural bird control deterrent that works against woodpeckers and other birds that peck. When the birds drill, they are met with a nasty taste and odor, making it undesirable to peck there again. These products work on most of the 23 U.S. woodpecker species, with the exception of the Arizona woodpecker.
