Photo Album: Woodpeckers & Carpenter Bees Destroy the Cupola in Princeton, NJ
Damage from Both
As you can see, the damage from both the carpenter bees and the woodpeckers was quite extensive. For treatment, we injected each drill hole with a residual dusting application and a residual liquid application. Both of these treatments will exterminate the carpenter bees almost immediately.
As for the Woodpeckers
Afterward, to deter the woodpeckers from pecking another hole, we 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). 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.
Returned to Our Truck
Once the carpenter bees were eliminated, we returned to home and fashioned several pieces of sturdy metal flashing...
Much Better
...and installed it over the damaged fascia. Now both the carpenter bees and the woodpeckers are properly deterred and excluded from the cupola.
