The problem
Why woodpeckers crack holes in stucco, and why it gets worse fast.
Woodpeckers are drawn to EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) stucco for two reasons: the foam insulation behind the finish is much softer than concrete, and tapping on it produces the hollow resonance birds associate with insect-filled tree cavities. Once they’ve started, a single woodpecker can put dozens of holes in a wall in a season, and every hole is a moisture entry point.
How we fix it
We don’t just plug the holes. We patch with the right EIFS-compatible mesh, base coat, and finish, then overcoat the affected elevation with Adex Graphexcoat, a graphene-reinforced 3-coat system specifically engineered to resist beak impact. Once it’s on, the wall sounds different to the bird, and they move on.
How to prevent further damage
- Adex Graphexcoat overlay 3-coat graphene-reinforced finish on the affected elevation
- Motion-activated sprinklers Triggered near nesting hot spots to disrupt patterns
- Reflective deterrents Mirrored strips along the eaves to break sight lines
- Annual spring inspection Booked in with every warranty client we treat
