- home | table of contents - DrummingDrumming is probably more of a nuisance than a source of potential damage. Woodpeckers drum to defend their territories or attract mates. Wood siding, rain gutters, down spouts, or other metal surfaces on a building provide ideal drumming surfaces for woodpeckers. Little can be done to reduce the loud sound produced as woodpeckers drum on these surfaces.
Solving Problems Related to DrummingOne solution may be to construct an alternate drumming site away from residences. A drum can be made by using two overlapping boards. Secure the end of one board to the tree. Cover the end of the other board with sheet metal. Another possibility would be to secure a metal cylinder, such as a gutter downspout, to a tree. |
