So, a woodpecker has just created a 5-inch hole in the siding of my second-story house, and I'm not sure how to deal with it. Should I just patch it up, or do I need to involve a carpenter? I'm really frustrated about this since I'm already tight on funds and don't want to be spending money because of some random bird. Any advice on how to fix this?

If a woodpecker made a hole that big, it’s likely looking for bugs or trying to tell you something’s wrong with your house, like water damage. Just patching it might not be enough, as you could have a bigger problem, like a leak or rotten wood. I suggest getting a handyman to check it out thoroughly before you fix it. You don’t want to miss anything that could lead to more issues down the road!
That happened to me too! I thought it was just a woodpecker issue, but it turned out I had a leak causing rotten wood. Got it fixed, and now no more woodpecker problems! It’s worth looking into.
