Woodpecker Removal, Deterrents & Damage Repair

Stop Woodpecker Damage Before It Spreads

Woodpeckers are federally protected birds, but when they begin pecking on your home, they can cause extensive damage to siding, trim, and attic structures. Many homeowners experience repeated drilling from woodpeckers looking to forage for insects, mark territory, or establish nesting sites inside walls.

USX Pest provides non-lethal, humane woodpecker deterrent services that protect your home while complying with all regulations. Our technicians inspect your home for damage, nesting signs, and insect activity that may be attracting woodpeckers. We then install a combination of visual, auditory, and physical deterrents based on your property layout and bird behavior.

In cases where birds have already entered wall voids or attic spaces, we work with appropriate wildlife authorities to implement one-way exclusions if permitted. After removal or deterrence, we patch damage, seal entry holes, and offer long-term prevention strategies to keep woodpeckers from returning.

Inspection and Site Assessment

We inspect siding, eaves, and rooflines for woodpecker holes, peck marks, insect infestation, and signs of nesting attempts.

Deterrent Installation

We install a mix of reflective strips, bird netting, and decoys based on the location and severity of activity to deter further damage.

Repair and Exclusion

Holes are patched, nesting access is sealed, and ongoing monitoring or adjustments are provided to ensure deterrents remain effective.

Repair Woodpecker Holes and Siding

Repeated drilling by woodpeckers weakens siding, exposes insulation, and invites moisture or pests into the wall. USX Pest repairs these holes, applies deterrents, and helps prevent recurring damage.

Prevent Future Nesting and Drilling

We install reflective devices, deterrent netting, and visual repellents like predator silhouettes to keep woodpeckers away. These non-harmful methods are proven to reduce activity long term.

Keeping Pests Out For Good

Signs of a Woodpecker Infestation

Here’s what to watch for if woodpeckers are targeting your property.

Tapping or Pecking Sounds

Drumming or repetitive tapping against siding or chimney caps is one of the earliest signs of woodpecker activity.

Small Holes in Siding or Trim

Round or rectangular holes in cedar siding, eaves, or fascia boards indicate drilling for insects or nesting.

Droppings or Wood Debris

Wood chips or bird droppings accumulating near siding or beneath holes may suggest a frequent roosting spot.

Bird Sightings on the Home

If woodpeckers are regularly perched on eaves, chimneys, or roof edges, they may be actively foraging or claiming territory.

Insect Infestation Behind Siding

Wood-boring insects attract woodpeckers. If you have termite or carpenter bee activity, birds may follow.

Repetitive Activity in Same Area

Woodpeckers often return to previous drill sites. Unpatched holes or unprotected trim will likely be reused.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are woodpeckers pecking on my house?

Woodpeckers drum on homes to communicate, forage for insects, or build nesting sites. Homes with cedar or soft wood siding, insect activity, or exposed trim are especially vulnerable.

Can woodpeckers be removed?

Woodpeckers are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, so direct removal is restricted. However, humane deterrents and exclusions are allowed and effective in reducing damage.

Is it possible to repair the holes they’ve made?

Yes. USX Pest provides full repair for holes made in siding or eaves, sealing them to prevent moisture damage and further bird activity.

What kinds of deterrents work best?

Visual deterrents like reflective tape, predator cutouts, and iridescent streamers work well. We also use netting and sound-based devices when needed.

Will the birds come back?

If the cause (insects or existing holes) isn’t addressed, they may return. Our exclusion and deterrent program is designed to disrupt this behavior permanently.

Is your deterrent work guaranteed?

Yes. We offer limited guarantees on our deterrent systems and return for adjustments if activity resumes within the warranty period.
