Northern Flicker Woodpecker

Woodpeckers causing damage to EIFS stucco is a common problem caused mostly by the Northern Flicker, a protected species in Canada. It drills small and large holes into the styrofoam walls for two reasons, either they are drumming to broadcast their territory and to attract a mate or they are attempting to excavate a cavity for nesting. The second reason is what causes so much damage to homes with EIFS stucco as the styrofoam acts as a perfect nesting cavity for them.
