Woodpeckers

[peggyb]

I just came home from over a month up north and found that a woodpecker has been pecking numerous holes in my palm trees. Is there anything I can put over the holes to protect the tree? I put some aluminum foil around the tree with "flaps" that reflect the light to deter it, but some damage is already done. Anyone else have similar problems?
