Wire netting. The neighbor used it and, so far, has worked.
I have holes across the side of the house, 3" apart and straight, on one side of the house. Fill them in and the peckerwood is back the next week.
airsoft gun, haze the little f...er, wont kill him but will definitely chase him off, i have pelleted more than one over the years, they dont come back,
hazed one with a snow ball last year too, knocked him off the house from about 30 feet with a nicely packed snowball, he never came back either.

We've got a woodpecker at my work and it makes big holes in the stucco building. Last year we eventually scared it off and patched the holes, but it's back with a vengeance. My boss keeps asking if he should get a pellet gun and shoot it, and I keep telling him no. Besides it evidently being illegal to kill one, people would hear the shot and could call the cops, and also what if you miss?
I just hear it pecking on the building, and I ran out and picked up one of those hard little pine cones and chucked it at it. Almost hit it. But that made me think pinecone + slingshot. Silent, maybe deadly, and harmless if you miss. If you hit it, it probably wont want to come back for more.

We have problems with these fellas at my house - http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Flicker/id
Anything shiny and hanging should do the trick although with these wind these days I would go with the CD even if it does look a little "red-necky"
Dang, just this week I heard that rapid tapping sound and was wondering if I had a woodpecker. Couldn't quite locate the sound from inside, and wasn't able to find any holes when I went looking, hopefully he's attacking the neighbor's place. LOL.
