Highly-Effective Woodpecker Control & Hazing Services

Professional Woodpecker Control & Hazing Services

At Southern Wildlife Management, we specialize in Woodpecker Control and Hazing Services as a humane alternative to trapping. Trapping woodpeckers requires a permit, and it often leads to euthanasia or lethal trapping. We believe in ethical solutions, so we do not offer trapping and relocation, as birds will simply fly back to the same spot. Instead, our woodpecker hazing method is a highly effective way to deter these birds from returning.

Why Our Woodpecker Hazing Services Work?

Our woodpecker hazing approach involves a combination of physical, electronic, and visual deterrents to create an environment where woodpeckers no longer feel comfortable. With years of experience in woodpecker control, we have successfully helped many homeowners protect their properties by using strategic hazing techniques.

By placing multiple hazing devices around your home, we can create enough pressure on the woodpeckers that they choose to relocate. Our team will assess your specific situation to determine the most effective hazing methods, providing you with a tailored strategy and a detailed cost breakdown.

Our woodpecker hazing services are effective because we avoid the need for costly and often ineffective trapping, which requires permits and can result in the euthanasia of the bird. Instead, we use a humane and ethical approach that focuses on deterring woodpeckers from returning without harming them. What sets us apart is our ability to customize the hazing strategy to suit the specific needs of your property and the type of damage occurring. We employ a variety of visual and auditory measures, such as physical deterrents, sound devices, and visual scare tactics. This tailored approach ensures that the woodpeckers feel uncomfortable and relocate to a more suitable environment, providing a long-lasting solution to the problem. By adjusting our methods to your unique situation, we can achieve the best possible outcome without resorting to harmful or temporary fixes

Woodpeckers usually target homes for three main reasons:

1. Searching for Insects: If you notice drilled or chipped wood, woodpeckers may be looking for insects. This often indicates that you have an underlying insect problem in your home’s external boards.

2. Territorial Drumming: Male woodpeckers create loud noises, often drumming on gutters, chimneys, or siding to attract mates and mark their territory. This is particularly common during mating season.

3. Nesting or Roosting: If you spot woodpeckers creating a round hole large enough to enter, they may be establishing a nest or roost site on your property.
