Woodpecker Removal

Are you looking for Woodpecker Removal in NJ? ALCO Animal & Pest Control offers prompt, professional and safe Woodpecker Removal in NJ since 1995 for many satisfied clients.

Woodpeckers are beautiful and fascinating birds, but when they start pecking into homes, siding, soffits, chimneys or outdoor structures, they quickly become unwanted pests. In New Jersey, woodpecker species such as the Northern Flicker and Pileated Woodpecker can cause costly damage to wooden surfaces, creating nesting cavities or feed holes in your property. Early detection and prevention are vital to avoid escalating repair bills.

Signs You Need Woodpecker Removal Service

Common indicators include rhythmic tapping or drumming noises on walls or eaves, visible round or rectangular holes in wood, or piles of wood shavings beneath strike patterns. Homeowners may also notice shifts in insulation or structural weakening over time. If the birds establish nests in attics or soffits, the risk of secondary damage and attracting other pests increases significantly.

Why Professional Woodpecker Removal Matters

Attempting DIY solutions can be ineffective or even illegal, as woodpeckers are protected under federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. ALCO Animal & Pest Control offers licensed, humane, and compliant removal strategies, including exclusion barriers, sound deterrents, and habitat modification. These methods safely discourage woodpeckers without harming them, while preventing future visits.

Comprehensive Assessment and Evaluation

A certified technician from ALCO conducts a thorough property inspection, identifying entry points, nesting sites, and feeding zones. They evaluate damage severity and recommend targeted treatments tailored to your structure—whether it’s vinyl siding, cedar shake, soffits, fences or outdoor trellises. This assessment ensures an effective and permanent solution.

Humane Exclusion & Restoration Techniques

ALCO’s approach centers on humane exclusion: installing custom-fit netting or hardware cloth to seal off attack zones and prevent re-entry. Acoustic deterrents (such as distress calls or visual scare devices) may be used temporarily until exclusion is complete. After exclusion is set, repairs or cosmetic restoration—like matching wood filler, caulking and paint—restore appearance while maintaining long-term protection.

Preventive Measures to Avoid Recurrence

Once removal and repairs are finished, ALCO advises on preventive practices like trimming nearby trees, reducing insect food sources around siding, and choosing wood-oxidizing stains that discourage woodpeckers. Clients receive maintenance tips to help keep these birds from returning during nesting seasons.
