Have you noticed holes appearing in your homeās siding, trim, or stucco? If you live on the Treasure Coast, thereās a good chance woodpeckers are to blame. While these birds are fascinating to watch, they can cause serious and expensive damage to Florida homes.
šØ Why Woodpeckers Damage Homes
Woodpeckers donāt peck at your house just to annoy you. They usually do it for one of three reasons:
Drumming for Communication š„ ā To claim territory or attract a mate.
Foraging for Insects š ā They peck wood to find ants, termites, or beetle larvae.
Nesting Sites šŖŗ ā They drill holes to build nests, often in siding, soffits, or fascia boards.
Floridaās warm climate and abundance of insects make our homes especially attractive targets.

š« Dangers of Woodpecker Damage
What starts as a few small holes can turn into serious home issues:
Structural Damage šļø ā Continuous pecking weakens wood, stucco, and siding.
Pest Invasions š ā Holes left behind allow insects and other wildlife to enter.
Costly Repairs šø ā Replacing damaged siding, trim, or soffits adds up quickly.
Noise Disturbance š ā Persistent drumming can be heard inside the home.
š DIY Isnāt the Answer
Homeowners often try wind chimes, foil strips, or fake owls to deter woodpeckers. Unfortunately, these birds quickly adapt and usually return. Since woodpeckers are protected under federal law (Migratory Bird Treaty Act), harming them is not an option.
