How to beat your WoodPecker

I have a pretty new Tuff-Shed, just put it in last year. I look out my bedroom window one morning and I see what looks like a bullet hole in the top, above the door. WTH!!! When I go out to see what is going on and there is a nice little hole with a bunch of divets leading up to where a woodpecker tried to find... Just..... The ...right place. Hmmmm, what to do. I thought about it for awhile. If I just fix it he will come back and make new hole. Shoot'em.... I did just get a new suppressor.. but no, not worth the legal hassle and honestly I have no wish to kill something for doing what it is supposed to do that is not a direct threat to me or mine. That does not mean I think this should continue. I go into my shed and looking around notice my camping gear and a few fire logs... You know, the ones ready to light. I put one of these in front of the hole. He came back to find the hole closed up. As expected he went ahead to make a new hole. He even got pretty far in before I am sure this bad tasting wood made him think the whole shed tastes like shit!!! It's been weeks and no new holes. I thought this might help anybody else dealing with a similar problem.
