The Problem
Woodpecker
Damage.
Why Woodpeckers Target Your Building.
Woodpeckers are attracted to EIFS and stucco buildings because the hollow sound the wall makes when pecked mimics the resonance of a dead tree — a signal that insects are present inside. Once a woodpecker discovers your building, it will return repeatedly, and others will follow.
The damage is not just cosmetic. Holes in EIFS and stucco cladding allow moisture to penetrate the wall assembly, leading to mould, rot, and structural damage that can cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair.
Foraging Holes
Small, irregular holes pecked in search of insects. These are the most common type of damage and can appear overnight.
Drumming Damage
Rapid, repetitive pecking used for communication. Drumming creates surface damage and can loosen cladding over time.
Nesting Cavities
Large, round holes excavated for nesting. These cause the most severe structural damage and are the hardest to repair.
Moisture Intrusion
Any breach in the cladding allows water in. Even small holes can lead to significant moisture damage behind the wall.
