What Kind Of Damage Can Suffolk County Woodpeckers Cause?

Suffolk County oodpeckers are pretty nice creatures to look at. They are beautiful majestic creatures with diverse appearances each having its unique bright coloured pattern. They also are fun to watch as they fly around proudly showing off their awesome stunts in the air. There smart and unique eating habits are also very interesting. Like that is not enough, the birds also go ahead and look jovial always and I could almost swear that I do notice a cute naughty grin on there beaks that just never fades. They are migratory birds. The critters have a lot that they do in the woodlands they thrive in, and are a very important part of the forest. Some of these include the fact that they rid trees of bugs and other insects that are harmful to the trees and thus save them from certain death. They also help build nesting sites for other wild animals like squirrels as they try to find their own perfect spots. These small creatures also rid our homes of bugs and insects like termites though they could do some damage in the process.



However, there is always a negative side to everything and New York woodpeckers have a few things they do that I am not proud to talk about. The most primary damage that these birds cause is on your house of course. They can attack any part of it and peck the wood. It is not always that these birds peck to get to insects in the wood. They also do the pecking as a way to mark their territory for other lurking woodpeckers or also do it as a form of drumming to attract mates. Their drumming is actually very unique. For the drumming, they can sometimes require different surfaces and that could be the metal on your window, the window panes and other surfaces in your home, where there is definitely a variety. Their persistent drumming will then of course lead to damaging of your equipment in the long run. Another destructive thing woodpeckers do is done by a type of Suffolk County woodpecker known as a sapsucker. These ones drill a number of rows of small holes in trees. These holes later, like the next day, get filled with sap which the sapsuckers then regularly come to feed on in the coming days. This keeps the tree's wounds fresh and thus they don't heal fast. The flow of sap in the tree also gets interfered with and this could lead to the death of the tree or affect production or quality of the fruits.
