Rick, Been there, done that. I had a woodpecker that put 7 holes in my cedar siding. He would peck through that then through the vapor barrier and take out the insulation. I first spotted the problem when I found pink insulation on the ground. I tried the owl trick - no luck. I took a 2 foot long rubber snake and stapled it across two of the holes - it just made a new hole next to the snake! I finally got him one Sunday afternoon during a Packer game. I saw the insulation floating down past the window. I went outside with my 12 gauge. When he flew away from the house and landed on a tree, I gave him a dose of #8 shot. It must have taught him a good lesson cuz he never got up off the ground after that. I have not had any more problems since then. If you can't use a shotgun where you live, try a good pump BB/pellet gun. I know you would like to let this thing live, but for some reason this woodpecker has chosen your house and no amount of loving, education, ranting, etc., will change his mind. Good luck.
