Woodpecker Removal Services

Woodpecker control in Cape CodAreas in Cape Cod like suburban areas and farmlands usually have enough trees in the general area to accommodate woodpecker populations, and residents of wooden buildings are in particular danger of woodpecker attacks. The nuisance birds are known to drill into structural wood for food as well as to build nests. Drilling wood is also a social activity for the birds.

Woodpeckers pose no physical threat to humans and they will not typically get into homes, but Cape Cod properties are certainly at risk. In addition to creating frequent loud, obnoxious noises, woodpeckers inflict structural damage on the sides of buildings, eaves, and trim boards. The size of holes will vary depending on whether the birds are looking for food or constructing nests. Additionally, woodpecker activity leaves trees susceptible to pest insects, infection and disease and even death. 

Keeping Woodpeckers at Bay

Bird netting is frequently used to stop woodpecker populations from damaging surrounding trees and buildings. Frightening devices also provide some protection. Such methods involve the use of shiny, bright, and mobile objects near potential drilling sites. Exclusion can be difficult if the birds are well established in the area, at which point pest control professionals may be the only solution.
