Woodpecker Decoy Deterrent - Life-Like Woodpecker Deterrent

WOODPECKER DECOY EFFIGY

Protect Your Property from Woodpecker Damage—The Humane Way

Woodpeckers are highly territorial birds. When they see another woodpecker in their space—especially one that appears to have already claimed it—they typically move on. The Woodpecker Decoy Deterrent leverages this behavior to discourage pecking, nesting, and roosting, without using chemicals, traps, or noise.

Built to closely resemble a Pileated Woodpecker, this decoy is 18 inches long, made from durable, all-weather molded materials, and enhanced with realistic feathers for maximum authenticity.

• Visually signals that the area is already occupied
  
  

- Wind-Driven Movement

• Installed using a specially designed mounting bracket
• Moves gently in the breeze to mimic natural bird motion
• Enhances realism and helps prevent acclimation
  
  

- Durable, All-Weather Design

• Injection-molded body withstands sun, rain, and wind
• Real feather accents increase believability

Where to Use It

The Woodpecker Decoy Deterrent is ideal for protecting:

• Wooden homes, siding, and eaves
• Power poles and telephone posts
• Decorative trees and garden structures
• Cabins, barns, sheds, and fences
• Decks, patios, and outdoor wooden features

Best Practices for Use

• Combine deterrents: Use alongside other visual or audio bird deterrents for broader coverage and longer-lasting effects.
• Reinforce regularly: Move or adjust the decoy every few days to maintain effectiveness and avoid habituation.
• Start early: Deploy before the pecking starts—especially in spring, when woodpeckers are establishing territory.
• Mount securely: Use a swivel bracket for best results; slight motion in the wind increases the illusion of life.
