Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep a woodpecker from pecking on the house? Any deterrents? Thanks for any info!!!!!

Take one used wine bottle cork a big mallet and then catch your woodpecker!
Seriously though,the only thing I can think of is maybe cutting out some Hawk shapes and sticking them on your walls.

I am sure you will get a number of suggestions, as there are a lot out there. here goes mine...
Flashy things like aluminum pie tins hanging in such a way that they move might work.
Or putting up a feeder for the woodpecker, sometimes that helps.

Your woodpecker could be doing something territorial, OR it could be searching for and finding insects, which is a much bigger problem than having a woodpecker around.

good luck!

Simply redefine your definition of "good" to include having a woodpecker pecking at your house.

Turn it into a headbanger - chop its beak off!

Stop building your houses out of wood, build them properly with bricks
