Your video doesnt state all the facts; woodpeckers may only want to make a hole for a nest (usually in the spring) I dont have the problems until they want to nest. ((horrible, evil birds))

mouse glue traps work good. just duct tape a mouse glue trap right underneath the whole. it worked good for me. didn't get the woodpecker stuck in it but i found feathers and blood stuck to it. needless to say the pecker did not come back. hope this info helps people. its a pretty cheap and effective solution.
