Photo Album: Woodpeckers Seeking Shelter in Customers Home in Manasquan, NJ
This woodpecker doesn’t think that this home in Manasquan, NJ is a building. The woodpecker thinks it’s a giant hollowed-out tree!
Damaging the Home
As you can see, the woodpecker caused some visible and serious damage to the home.
Sealed and Stuffed
I cleaned the area, stuffed the opening with steel mesh, and sealed it in place with wood putty.
The Intimidator
Then to deter the woodpecker from pecking another hole, I added two Intimidator bird flashers. The Intimidator reflects the suns rays as the wind spins it around and gives off Ultra Violet "flashes" (ultra violet is a color that birds can see but humans can not).
Deter the Woodpeckers
The woodpeckers will relate the UV flashes as a danger and stay away. This is a humane and effective visual deterrent to prevent the woodpeckers from causing any further damage to the home.
