Hi, A most intriguing question, that will leave me examining the outside of my house much more carefully. Woodpeckers peck wood, as they should, to get at insects in the wood. So, the problem, and the solution is not getting rid of the woodpeckers, but getting rid of their food source. See this Web page: http://doyourown pestcontrol.com/ask.htm#woodpeckers In fact, a search of altavista yielded a bunch of home remedies http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=q&stype=stext&sc=on&q=hom e+pest+w oodpeckers&stq=10 Good luck
