We have woodpeckers here too, but so far not pecking on my siding, only
fences. A couple of ideas come to mind though.. Amazon sells a battery
operate motion detecting rainbird sprinkler you might be able to aim at the
area so they get a good soaking. The other is maybe to just put some of the
black bird netting you get at the nursery in the area where they're pecking
to block them..

My shop has become a target for woodpeckers and I'm fighting having them
burrowing holes in the siding. This isn't just a small inconvenience, it
is becoming a major damage issue. Has anybody found something (besides
shooting them -- not wanting to try that method to start) to get rid of
them. My folks found the following: http://www.kabatape.com but it's
mighty spendy. I suppose I could try real electrical fencing to
accomplish
the same thing by running the hot and a ground wire in close proximity.

Any experience or ideas would be welcome.
