G__D_____ Woodpecker!!!

This woodpecker is slowly destroying my house. I had an exterminator out - there are no bugs in the wood. I've had the holes fixed 3 times already. I bang on the wall when I hear him. I've put a fake owl on my roof, but he KEEPS COMING BACK. This picture was taken yesterday. Any ideas???
P.S. I don't have a gun

If you're absolutely sure there are no insects there, try placing a downy nest box near the scene of the crime. But I only know of woodpeckers invading homes because of insects being there.

Theres always vinyl siding. ( sorry to make light of a dilema). But maybe some temporary barrier like they do for bats. Some heavy screening around the area he likes, and or fresh coats of watersealer that may have an odor he don't like

I live in an association where vinyl siding is not an option. I may tell my handyman to try the screening, although what I showed you was only a small portion. This guy has pecked thru the wood on about an 8 ft. section on this piece of my 2-story house. Thanks for the response.

Has anyone you pissed off died lately ?
Might give some credit to the 'come back' theory.

Similar, but the hole is just big enough for a downy so nothing bigger can get in.
I'm grasping at this idea as you claimed that there are/were no insects in that part of your home.
