Yes, I had the same problem. I made some metal streamers that turn
in the wind and it worked. I bought some wire and shiny metal at Ace

than with string. About every 10 feet or so around the house will
scare them away.

Back to the woodpecker. Is there anything that can act as a deterrent
to them? Also at Amazon i found streamers made from Mylar that has a
holographic print and the movement in the wind and the reflected light
is supposed to scare birds away. Anyone have any success with something
like this? And where to place it?
