Woodpecker problem, need BB gun advice please.

My neighbor had that problem. He put some helium filled mylar balloons out the window where the woodpecker was pecking. It worked.

Just got through patching and painting this years woodpecker damage. Not a happy camper as the holes were so large and deep that the patching compound sort of sucked in as it dried. I'll have to repatch and repaint those areas again in the spring.

Gawd Almighty, how I hate woodpeckers!

You may want to sell your house and move into a less more dangerous neighborhood, Those lil f#$%@$s are very dangerous!!!!

I had them drummin on my verticle wood siding, cost me 13k to get rid of them, but the new vinyl siding looks great!

Fairly certain you can't kill them legally.

That said, the Remington vantage from bass pro in .177 has done a lot on my "pest" problems.....

Paint gun using paint balls the same color as the paint on your house. Freeze them first if you're feeling particularly evil.

Freezing paintballs do not work...they expand and will not go down the barrel and make a mess,and once the thaw out the absorb any moisture on them and expand.

Paintballs are lethal when used against smaller rodents, and would also probably be damaging (as in wander off an die later) to birds. No need to freeze them.

I've heard that rat traps + Peanut butter screwed to the side of your house works wonders
