A woodpecker hammering on the side of your house at 6 AM feels like a personal attack. It's a diagnosis.

When a woodpecker repeatedly targets the same area of your siding or fascia board, she's almost certainly hearing insects inside. Carpenter ant colonies, wood-boring beetle larvae, and termite galleries produce vibrations a woodpecker can detect through solid wood.

The woodpecker damage is real. But it's secondary — caused by the bird reaching the primary problem inside your wood structure. Patching holes without addressing the insect colony means she'll return, or the insects will keep expanding.

If a woodpecker is drilling into your house, the correct first response isn't bird deterrents. It's an inspection for carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, or termites.

She just gave you a free structural diagnosis that a pest inspector would charge for.

She's not attacking your house. She's telling you something is already inside it.

Most standard CO alarms are designed to save your life during dangerous, acute exposure — not to alert you to lower levels that may still be worth paying attention to.

When you dig into the research, you’ll find that certain groups — especially those with heart conditions — can be affected at lower levels of carbon monoxide. The issue is, many people may have underlying conditions and not even know it.

The screenshots above show:
• Manufacturer alarm thresholds (Kidde)
• Government of Canada exposure guidance

Regardless of who sets the limits, the goal in your home should be simple:
👉 Keep CO levels as close to zero as possible.

The third image shows a detector with a digital display that reads actual CO levels (ppm), not just alarms at high thresholds.

You can pick one up for under $40 at Canadian Tire.

I have one in my own home (natural gas furnace + water heater), and it consistently reads 0 ppm.

That’s what you want to see.

If I ever walked by and saw 10 ppm, I’d immediately know something has changed — and it’s time to investigate before it becomes a bigger issue.
