Have a woodpecker that is really doing a number on my wood house siding.
Incredible the amount of damage they can do, apparently.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to keep him away, or any other
thoughts on preventing this ?

He/she is hungry, and is eating whatever *was* eating your house.
Find out what it was eating, [ants, termites, carpenter bees. . . .]
and help him exterminate them.

Once there is nothing eating your house, the woopecker will go try to
help someone else.
