Woodpeckers are endangered and it is illegal to kill them. Try a suet feeding stand, away from that area. You could try a squirt gun with water, or making loud noises when he is doing it to frighten it away. Also have your house checked for termites or other damaging bugs... to peck there, he must have something he's after.....

How about dropping a spider on them?
"The BIRDS-AWAY Attack Spider® is a battery-operated device that will chase away damage-causing woodpeckers. Activated by sound, the spider drops down on an 18 inch string while making a loud noise. Then it climbs back up the string, ready to attack again. This unusual solution is both very inexpensive and highly effective. Woodpeckers cannot stand them!"
LOL!! We just feed them at suet feeders someplace farther away from the house. Seems that if they have free, easy food, they leave the house alone.
Good luck!

Put tin foil on the areas he/she likes to go. Or string some tin pie plates around the area the pest likes.

you can shoot it as long as no one knows it. woodpeckers are on the protected wildlife list. you must have cedar siding. here are a couple sites to help you.

Buy a nice big gun. or you can get a high pitched pest repellar that lets out a noise that only animals can hear and they don't like.

find out what they hate, and put it all over the places he's pecking
