Bird Control Services Photo Album: A Woodpecker Caused a Lot of Damage to This Home in North Brunswick, NJ
This home in North Brunswick, NJ was getting badly damaged by a woodpecker.
Damaged Done by the Woodpecker
As you can see, there were multiple holes created by the woodpecker all over the home.
Not Covered by Homeowners Insurance
The cost of repairing woodpecker damage can be high and most homeowners' insurance doesn't cover it, since it is considered to be preventable. We had offered to fill in the gaps by the woodpecker and then install sturdy metal flashing over them, but the homeowner declined as he was going to repair the damage himself at a later date.
To Keep the Woodpeckers Away
So in order to safely deter the woodpeckers away from the home, we installed several Intimidators around the exterior of the home.
Ultra Violet Flashes
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.
Safe From Woodpeckers
With the Intimidators installed, the woodpeckers will no longer be attracted to the home!
