I heard this weird tapping sound around the outside of the house. This woodpecker is chipping away at mortar between my bricks. I don't want to shoot him (I'd use a bb gun it's a residential area) but how do I get rid of him? He's legit making some progress chipping away mortar in spots. I've never seen anything like this shit before. He's not even that high up. I chased him off yesterday but heard him again today watering the grass in my back yard.
I might remove a small section of drywall in the house around that area if this keeps up and take a peak but we don't have any kind of a bug problem. It's just really bizarre.
