Photo Album: Woodpecker Destroying Cedar Shakes in Milltown, NJ
Woodpeckers were destroying the siding of this home in Milltown, NJ
See the Damge
Here's the evident damage from the woodpeckers.
Intimidate the Woodpeckers
To prevent the woodpeckers from damaging the home I installed several "Intimidator" bird flashers.
Deters Them
The Intimidators reflect the sunlight and spin in the wind, which intimidates the bird to think there is a predator nearby. This is a visual deterrent and is an extremely effective and humane solution for keeping nuisance birds off your property.
Fill the Holes
Next, I patched the holes using a wood filler.
Get Them All
I made sure to fill in every hole.
Looks the Same as Before
Lastly, using the paint the homeowner provided me, I painted the cedar shakes so that it looks exactly like it did before the damage.
