Woodpecker Control Services by Jesse James Critter Gitters

Woodpeckers, while fascinating creatures, can cause significant damage to your property when they start pecking at your home or business. The damage they inflict can lead to costly repairs, not to mention the noise and disruption they cause. At Jesse James Critter Gitters, we specialize in providing woodpecker control services to prevent and address woodpecker infestations. Our team uses humane, effective solutions to keep these birds away from your property and prevent the damage they cause.

Why Woodpecker Control is Important

Woodpeckers are notorious for drilling holes in trees, wooden structures, siding, and even roofs. While they typically peck to find food, communicate, or build nests, their behavior can lead to a variety of issues for homeowners and business owners alike, such as:

  • Damage to Exterior Surfaces: Woodpeckers may peck on siding, eaves, fascia boards, and even roofs, creating holes and gouges in the wood. Over time, this damage can lead to leaks, rotting wood, and costly repairs.
  • Structural Damage: When woodpeckers create holes, they may also weaken the structural integrity of wooden beams or roofing materials. This can lead to long-term issues that are expensive to repair.
  • Noise Disturbance: The loud drumming noise produced by woodpeckers can be bothersome, especially if they are pecking early in the morning or during nesting season. This can disrupt your peace and quiet at home or create a nuisance at a commercial property.
  • Attracting Other Pests: The holes woodpeckers create in your home or building can provide entry points for other pests, including insects or rodents, who might use the holes as nesting sites.

Our Woodpecker Control Process

At Jesse James Critter Gitters, we understand the challenges of dealing with woodpeckers. We take a comprehensive approach to woodpecker control, focusing on both preventing new damage and addressing any existing issues. Our process is designed to provide effective, long-term solutions to keep woodpeckers from returning.

  1. Inspection and Assessment: We begin with a thorough inspection of your property to assess the extent of the woodpecker damage and identify the areas most affected. During the inspection, we look for holes, signs of nesting, and any potential attractants that may be drawing the woodpeckers to your home or business.
  2. Humane Deterrence: We use a variety of humane methods to deter woodpeckers from causing further damage. This includes visual and auditory deterrents such as reflective materials, decoys, or sound devices that make the area less inviting to the birds. Our team can also apply specialized treatments to your property to make surfaces less appealing for pecking.
  3. Exclusion and Prevention: To prevent woodpeckers from getting access to vulnerable areas of your property, we offer exclusion services. This may involve installing netting, screens, or barriers around exposed wood surfaces or areas where woodpeckers have been active. Additionally, we seal any holes that may have been created, ensuring that other pests don’t take advantage of the openings.
  4. Damage Repair: If woodpeckers have already caused damage to your home or business, we can help with the repair process. Our team can patch up holes, replace damaged wood, and restore the integrity of your exterior surfaces. We also provide advice on maintaining the repaired areas to prevent future issues.
  5. Ongoing Monitoring and Maintenance: Woodpecker control isn’t a one-time fix. After the initial treatment, we offer ongoing monitoring and maintenance services to ensure that woodpeckers don’t return. Our team will schedule follow-up visits to check the areas we’ve treated and make adjustments as necessary.
