I have an exterior that the HO filled large woodpecker holes with expanding foam spray. What product do you recommend for filling over these holes (upto 2.5" in diameter). Thanks

Probably just use some MH Ready Patch.

Dean,
I did the same thing to a tree in my yard. Once I realized what a moron I was, I tried to clean it out. It's still there. I can show you other methods that dont work/look so good as well. I have ample experience with Bats too...

I did specify that it is the HO's job to remove the "extra" foam from the holes so I can skim over them. Do you think Ready Patch has enough flexibility that it will not pop out of hole in the winter?

Upsell the customer and sell them on removal and replacement of the effected area. This does 3 things

1. Makes the finish look better
2. Removes the carpenter bee larva that is attracting the woodpeckers(long term fix to their problem)
3. Makes you money.

Durhams Water Putty work for most critter holes.

I use a lots of wood Epxoy by Ablo I Can't think of the name. They are out of the mid west and the cans are out on the trailer.

I've had good success with an epoxy/hardener and plastic wood for rot and critter holes.

Get a piece of new siding, use a holesaw.......

We use Bondo, the wood peckers hate it, it's totally waterproof unlike water putty and can be sanded smoothe or roughed up for a textured look on a stucco repair. MOPAINT

What about Moorelastic knife grade elastomeric patching compound applied as a skim coat over the foam filled holes?
