Five Star Septic Solutions

A woodpecker hammering on the side of your house at 6 AM feels like a personal attack. It's a diagnosis.

When a woodpecker repeatedly targets the same area of your siding or fascia board, she's almost certainly hearing insects inside. Carpenter ant colonies, wood-boring beetle larvae, and termite galleries produce vibrations a woodpecker can detect through solid wood.

The woodpecker damage is real. But it's secondary — caused by the bird reaching the primary problem inside your wood structure. Patching holes without addressing the insect colony means she'll return, or the insects will keep expanding.

If a woodpecker is drilling into your house, the correct first response isn't bird deterrents. It's an inspection for carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, or termites.

She just gave you a free structural diagnosis that a pest inspector would charge for.

She's not attacking your house. She's telling you something is already inside it.
