Good luck.

</font><font class=”post”>The woodpecker I had going at my house years ago was banging on the sheet metal furnace vent. You think they are loud on wood, you should hear them on metal. The funny part about this whole story was that I got so upset that early one morning I ran outside in my undies to “try” and see the [censored]. I say try because I wear contacts/glasses and did not put them on. I could hear the noise from the top of the vent and just happened to grab a tennis ball. I blindly threw it up there and BAM — caught the bird flush in one toss. I could not see that, but I sure heard him screech and never heard from him again. GOOD LUCK</font>

Sorry to say, there is only metal up their that the woodpecker taps on, plus there is no insects. I have done everything, even knocked him off with a super soaker water gun, lol. He’s annoying as heck. I put things up their that move to scare him away, doesn’t work.
