Are wood peckers causing damage to your home? This is quite common and can be pretty frustrating. Adding a woodpecker box to your home is one of the most simple, cost effective and environmentally conscious options!

Wood peckers hammer or peck on wood or even metal objects for a few distinctive reasons.

Reasons for Woodpecker damage

Making a nesting home

One of the most common reasons is a woodpecker making a nesting hole.
A nesting hole from a woodpecker will be round and large. Nesting holes are usually built in the beginning of the breeding season between late April and May.

Breeding / Mating

Another reason for woodpeckers making loud hammering noises (drumming) is for proclaiming the birds territory and attracting a mate. If this is the case, they will most likely stop once breeding has begun in spring and they don’t drum when looking for food.

Feeding on insects and worms

Woodpeckers often make small irregular shaped holes when forging for food such as insects.

Woodpeckers are particularly fond of the larvae of carpenter bees, leafcutter bees, and grass bagworms.

Providing Woodpeckers with their own place to call home is a simple cost effective, environmentally friendly solution that allows us and nature to dwell together in harmony. It may also become a good conversational piece for your next gathering!

Do not damage or remove eggs from an established woodpecker nest. Woodpeckers are protected under the Migratory Bird Act and such actions are illegal without the proper authorization.

Do not injure or attempt to capture the birds. This is also illegal under the Migratory Bird Act and can result in fines or jail time for any violations.

Reviews From Our Customers

I had Joyner’s Painting replace all of my double pane windows this past summer and thanks to them I can now see out of my windows. I also had them paint my entire house and garage and now everyone says to me that your house looks great – just like it did when it was built 30 years ago. Keep up the good work!

We hired Mr. Ronnie Joyner to paint our home after meeting with other contractors. We immediately felt comfortable with Mr. Joyner, who promised to complete our home before starting other projects. Mr. Joyner did just that and was actually ahead of schedule. We were more than satisfied with his work and would highly recommend him for any job. He was also able to retrieve my diamond earring that I lost down the shower drain. Ronnie is a man of many talents!

I was ready to throw the paintbrush through the window as I tried to paint a deep red color to the short cathedral walls part of my entryway. I could not keep it off the white ceiling! We called Ron, and he stopped by that evening to assess the situation, and returned the next day to finish it off. It turned out beautifully! I plan to have him come back soon to tackle my kitchen and dining room ceiling, and perhaps my kitchen cupboards. What a great guy!

Customer from Richland, MI
Joyner’s painting saved us!!! The painter we originally had lined up to paint our new office backed out due to a schedule conflict. We were in a bind and had carpeting scheduled to be installed soon. Ron saved us and came to our rescue. He squeezed us in his schedule and got the job done right away. He even cleaned up some of the mess the previous painter had made with what had been started. Ron is very easy to work with, he is very experienced and knowledgeable. We appreciate Ron so much and highly recommend his service to everyone.
