We are currently in escrow on a mountain cabin.
When we were there for the home inspection last week I noticed 3 holes up near the roofline.
I thought they were vent holes until I saw a woodpecker fly out. Then another.
Not something I had even considered.
Closer examination shows that holes have been patched there before by covering them with tin and caulk. This was not too easy to see 3 stories up but it certainly shows in the photos when I cropped in on them.
The internet, as usual, has lots of answers but no recommendations.
Surely someone here has had to deal with them in the past.
The question is, what is the best way to get rid of them?

Cute little devils.
