[QUOTE="Vraille Darkfang, post: 2659927, member: 16989"] Umm, that could be very bad. Woodpeckers targeting your house that is. We live in a brick house & we have (or had since the cat moved in) woodpeckers pecking at the house. In the spring they were 'drumming' on marking out their territory. This is obvious as they are being as loud as possible (they REALLY love metal poles for this), and it only lasts few weeks. The other time they peck on the brick is to eat insects crawling over the bricks. If woodpeckers start makign holes in your wood, they do it for 2 reasons. 1. Food. They hear/sense bugs in the wood & are goin' in after it. Termites are the worse bugs they could be drillin' for. I'd check it out for insect life. 2. Homes. Woodpeckers (most breeds) make their homes by hollowing out spaces in dead trees. They CAN mistake a wooden home for a dead tree.... But pressure-treated/stained/ properly preserved wood usually sets them off so they won't touch it. They usually only go for houses only if the wood is rotted or for some strange reason, regular wood was used with no preservative treatment what-so-ever. So, if you see them pecking, be sure to check the area they're exploring. [/QUOTE]
