Christmas Spirit, Deterrent or Both

After -

Twas a beautiful Saturday morning, when outside the house
Not a creature was stirring. not even a woodpecker;
The tinsel and garland were hung on the house with great care,
In the hopes that the woodpeckers wouldn't reappear;

To date this trick has been working, hanging shinny items to deter the woodpeckers from returning. As you can see there is no more damage today. However, there was quiet a bit, as you can see in the picture below, before it's was repaired.

Before -

You might want to have someone in to inspect for hidden insect damage. Most likey the woodpeckers are there for lunch.
