Hi Jan
 
While the woodpeckers I have are not the Red-headed woodpeckers, but the  
Downy Woodpeckers, I solved the problem by putting suet feeders out.  They  are 
definitely more interested in the suet feeders than the occasional insects  
they can find on my cedar siding.
And they are interesting to watch--Good Luck!!

I hope  someone out there can  answer an off the  wall question. My dogs have 
 
been barking at  knocking on my wall. I went outside  to find that a  red 
headed  
woodpecker is pounding through my cedar   shingles!!

I  have thrown a rotten apple at him..his leaving  was  temporary. Now  I 
have 
sprayed the side of the house with soapy water. He  was   gone for 2 days and 
now 
is knocking again.

I don't want   to spray insecticide on the house  as it may asphyxiate my 
dogs  
and  me.

Does anyone have any   suggestions??
Help!
