Live outside of Boston.
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 ?
Would be most appreciative.
Thanks,
Bob

It could be that you have a bigger problem than you realize, maybe you ahve
some sort of infestation in your wood siding that you cannot see.
Though in thinking about it, there is one that bangs on teh steeple of the
little church across the road, and it't got a metal roof...
If it's up high, and in a specific location you might try something like a
windchime or a turney, spinny, whirleygiggy thingy (I hope that this
techincal term wasn't too much for you) Something that would move to keep
him away.
I did a quick google and came up with this.

I didn't read it, I skimmed it so it may say I am an idiot.
Wouldn't be the first time!
If you DO figure it out, post your results ok!

In the past people have said this is because the little buggers are
horny and it's that time of year. He's trying to locate a mate.
I don't think they are looking for food because my suet feeder is
covered with woodpeckers year 'round. There's no shortage and they know
where to find it. Also, I can see the inside of the garage siding
where I had to shoo one away just yesterday. There is no trace of bugs.
