My southen house is a cedar siding house, in a forested area of western TN. We are not there all of the time, just when we have business in the area - the house has been for sale for a long time, but no buyers are roaming around. However, this month, we noticed three holes in the siding, one at 12 feet up, the others over 18ft.. Watching the holes for a while showed that woodpeckers had made them, and were nesting in the walls. We found one dead woodpecker in the attic - obviously it couldn't find it's hole, and some damage on an interior wall nearby.

How can I get rid of the woodpeckers that are in the walls, and how do I stop them drilling more huge holes in the siding?
