What happens here

After repairing the physical damage, consider implementing measures to deter woodpeckers from returning and causing further harm. Woodpeckers are often attracted to areas with foam insulation behind the stucco. Strategies include trapping and relocating the birds (if allowed and feasible), using sound devices that distract them, or adding a special paint additive (often with a smell that deters birds and vermin) to the exterior paint. These preventative steps are crucial to ensure the long-term integrity of the repair and prevent future infestations or damage.

Goal: Deter woodpeckers from returning to the repaired area
