Photo Album: Fixing Up the Damage from Woodpeckers in Freehold, NJ
Huge Holes in the Siding
As you can see, the woodpeckers were causing some serious damage to the home! To rectify this, we stuffed each one of the holes made by the woodpecker with stainless steel mesh and then sealed them with waterproof adhesive.
Installed Sturdy Metal Flashing
Once we finished with that, next we installed sturdy metal flashing over the damaged area.
Now Comes the Intimidator
Lastly, we installed an Intimidator around this area as well as in several locations around the exterior of the home. 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.
Area Excluded from Woodpeckers
Now the area is protected and excluded from any future damages from woodpeckers. The owner had mentioned that he is going to repaint the entire exterior of his home next weekend.
