Don’t risk siding damage from unwanted woodpeckers!
Woodpeckers damage some siding materials such as:
- Cedar Shake siding—Woodpecker damage is probable with cedar shake and cedar shingles. Cedar shake siding is highly targeted when it comes to woodpecker destruction which comes from their drumming, nesting, and insect foraging.
- Tongue and Groove Cedar siding—The possibility of small, medium, or large holes can occur with this siding because woodpeckers are drawn to its seams.
- Wood siding—Wood offers woodpeckers everything they desire to nest, store food, attract a mate, and forage insects. Woodpeckers damage various types of wood siding and create unwanted damage such as:
- Large holes—Woodpeckers make themselves at home by creating large holes to drum, roost, and nest in wood siding.
- Small holes—Small holes occur in siding when woodpeckers look for insects.
- Multiple small holes—Fascia board damage comes in the form of multiple small holes from woodpecker drumming.
Good News! James Hardie Siding Is Woodpecker Resistant!
James Hardie® Fiber Cement Siding—America’s favorite siding option—resists woodpecker damage. So rest assured, you can avoid the hassle of beat-up siding due to unwanted woodpecker damage.
Composition
James Hardie fiber cement siding resists woodpecker damage because of its makeup. Fiber cement siding is woodpecker resistant due to its amazing composition of:
- Cement
- Sand
- Cellulose
Its toughness offers nothing woodpeckers desire when looking for a place to drum, nest, or forage insects. James Hardie siding resists what woodpeckers are looking for, such as:
- A place for food storage—James Hardie siding is too hard to peck a hole in, so woodpeckers are unable to store their food in it and are unable to find insects inside it.
- A location for nesting purposes—Fiber cement is so strong, woodpeckers are unable to create a large hole for nesting purposes.
- A place to conduct breeding rituals—When James Hardie siding is the protective layer on your home exterior, the typical drumming woodpeckers do on wood siding—to create loud noises, small holes, and attract a mate—doesn’t occur. So, with James Hardie siding, your home exterior will be woodpecker resistant, and you can enjoy peace and quiet without the hassle of damage or the unwanted sound of woodpecker drumming.
Don’t risk your home exterior to destructive woodpecker damage
Siding is vulnerable to woodpeckers, nature’s elements, and pests 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When it’s time to reside your home, choose replacement siding like James Hardie siding that resists unwanted woodpeckers and intrusive insects.
