Plant small trees next to tall trees, and shrubs below small trees. Finish with a ground cover of wildflowers and grasses, and finally leave some leaf litter on the ground. An isolated bird bath, feeder or fruit tree will not attract as much wildlife as these same components placed near each other. Wildlife need food, water, and cover close together. You and wildlife can coexist peaceably, but some wildlife can cause problems in some places.
Woodpeckers can peck holes in houses.
Often woodpeckers drum on something that makes a loud noise. To discourage them, hang aluminum foil strips nearby, or other bright shiny streamers that blow in the wind. When the woodpeckers leave, repair any damage so they are not tempted to return. Try to provide an alternative drumming site. Woodpeckers and other birds eat lots of insects in dead and decaying wood.
