Woodpecker Decoy Effigy - Life-Like woodpecker Deterrent

The life-size woodpecker deterrent causes other woodpeckers to avoid the ‘occupied territory’. A incoming woodpecker will typically cue onto the life-like moving decoy and avoid the area. The Pileated Woodpecker Effigy is as life-like as the real bird. Full feathered and measuring 18" in length the life-size decoy is constructed using injection molded all weather material. Real feathers are used to simulate the appearance of a live bird. Ultra Violet Paint is strategically applied to the decoy adding an additional visual component to deter the woodpecker. The UV paint contains a component that reflects the sun's ultra violet rays enhancing the profile of the decoy. Ultra Violet paint is similar to the UV reflection of bird's feathers allowing them to see in the complete UV spectrum. The Pileated Woodpecker decoy is easily installed using our specially designed attachment that enables the decoy to move with the wind. Woodpeckers are then cued to the decoy's movement.

Where to use: Wood Telephone / Power Line Poles. Wood homes, cabins, decks, posts, ornamental trees.

*No single product stands alone; a combination of Bird deterrents must be used with repeated reinforcement as necessary.

BirdsGottaGo products that pair well with our bird deterrents (what they do and key details).

Fast visual pressure (add movement + “predator” vibe)

  • Bird Scare Eye Balloon (2') – bright colors + predator eyes + reflective streamers; can be used to repel woodpeckers; hang near problem area/flight path; let it move freely. Buy here!

  • Holographic Bird Scare Flash Tape (2" wide) – 25' or 50' rolls; flutters/flashes/crackles even in small breezes; hang strips around the problem area; works even better when mounted for extra movement.
