Thank you for stopping by, let me guess? you are reading this because e you have got a few holes in your exterior wall am I right?. Yes, it has been probably done by a woodpecker and you wonder that so hard surface how do they manage? Here the fact….<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

WOODPECKER DAMAGE<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are approximately 200 species of woodpeckers around the world.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Studies reveal that there are approximately 200 species of woodpeckers around the world. and at least 16 of these can be found in North America, not including four types of sapsuckers, Northern Flickers, and the Gilded Flicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These birds have beaks that are like chisels, allowing them to bore holes into trees in order to locate food, signal to other birds, and nest. Their thick skulls and powerful neck muscles help them deliver blows to trees and other surfaces without damaging their bodies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, these birds can find their way into areas inhabited by humans, and our homes and office buildings can become damaged as the woodpeckers and flicker boreholes into siding and EIFS stucco surfaces however let me save some of this for latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHERE THE WOODPECKERS ARE<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There are at least 16 types of woodpeckers in North America<\/strong> and that does not include the 4 types of sapsuckers and the Red-shafted Flicker or Yellow-shafted Flicker, known as the Northern Flickers and the Gilded Flicker.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Woodpeckers A very familiar bird in Canada and the United States<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Black-backed Woodpecker and the Three-toed Woodpecker are two of the most northern birds found most often in the northern conifers of Canada and in the American Rockies. The Downy Woodpecker and Hairy Woodpecker can be found throughout all of Canada and the USA, with the Hairy Woodpecker being the most southern traveler of the two. The largest member of the woodpecker family is the Pileated Woodpecker and it is found across Canada and the eastern states. Two woodpeckers that are showing up in the southeastern portions of Canada although it lives in the eastern states are the Red-headed Woodpecker and the Red-bellied Woodpecker. The threatened Red-cockaded Woodpecker lives in the southeastern states but mostly in Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remaining 7 types of woodpeckers live in the central states into the western regions of the United States and Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the Acorn Woodpecker, Arizona Woodpecker, Gila Woodpecker, Golden-fronted Woodpecker, Ladder-backed Woodpecker, Lewis’s Woodpecker, and the Nuttall’s Woodpecker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IS EIFS?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

EIFS (pronounced as Eef\u2019s<\/em>) stands for Exterior Insulation Finish Systems. EIFS systems are popular among architects, contractors, and engineers as they offer up strong thermal and insulation efficiency, durability, and cost-efficiency without compromising aesthetics. From the outside, EIFS is typically covered in a stucco-like finishing and forms the exterior cladding of many modern commercial buildings, condominiums, and some homes. When properly installed, EIFS can withstand hurricane-force winds, offers water protection and can last the lifetime of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, traditional EIFS products and processes do not offer sufficient protection against damage caused by woodpeckers and other birds. When birds boreholes into the walls and other EIFS surfaces, it can damage the barrier, making the building vulnerable to water damage, mold and infestations from pests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
