The front of our house and trim is cedar and the woodpeckers think it is their domain to attack the trim around the fireplace wall. It drives my hubby CRAZY . . . We can't believe the holes they have created.

I thought they liked dead trees better. Can you look on Google and find info about how to distract or discourage them?
