I just had $5000 of roof repairs and replacement of sheetrock and insulation due to a spotty woodpecker drilling a palm sized hole at the bottom of the roof vally on the front of my arechitectural shingled house! Water from rain poured into entry and garage! I bought a pellet rifle and have been practicing with it. Gonna terminate that sucker with extreme prejudice!

I got two pair of them living around the house. Lucky for me, there are a couple of dead sweet gum trees nearby that they use for their home and pecking...Nothing is worse and frustrating than to have a woodpecker choose one’s home for a drill matte. It seems they do most of their trouble at daylight when one is still asleep.
