I don't know anything about woodpeckers, but had a
problem with squirrels nesting in my attic, coming
in under the eaves.   I Called an exterminator,
who informed me they would come and trap them, at
$ 80.- a visit.  Apparently it is illegal to kill
them in NJ.

What I did was to spray their nesting area with bug killer.
They apparently did not like the smell, and after a few
applications stayed away, after which I blocked their
entrance.homxb
