Is their a chemical deterrent? Or do I stick ballons and streamers everywhere to scare it away? Thanks Chuck The measure of a man is what he will do when he knows he won't get caught.

Smear into holes made by the woodpecker, one taste and gone!!! Dave Knowledge is power, that becomes worthless unless you pass it on!

I'd much rather have the taste of jalapenos in my mouth than that nasty stuff. ALL OUT Wildlife Control

Look to see if there are bugs of any sort under the siding. It's probably not the only reason the little peckers would peck but it's one of the main reasons. Get rid of the food and you get rid of the bird.
