Woodpeckers Cause Considerable Damage to Home in Freehold, NJ

This customer in Freehold, NJ had a big problem with several woodpeckers pecking into the siding of his home and causing some severe damage to his property! To solve this issue, we installed several Intimidator bird flashers 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.

Next, we stuffed each one of the holes made by the woodpecker with stainless steel mesh and then sealed them with waterproof adhesive. Lastly, we installed sturdy metal flashing over the damaged areas. Although we had offered to paint over the metal flashing so that it blends in with the color of his home, the owner declined as he was planning to repaint his siding any way at a later date.
