Woodpecker Visiting Cabin Each Morning - Eastern TN

[Michael Stokes]

Hello everyone, I own a cabin in Sevierville TN and I recently discovered that a noise my guests were hearing every morning was being caused by a woodpecker that is stopping by for a visit.  I read online about the usual tactics for scaring off the bird, but since I am not local I was curious if anyone had a contact for someone in the area that has helped them deal with a situation like this before.  I could just grab a handyman, but was hoping someone local might have experience with the best tactics and be able to locate any damage that may have been caused by the bird to repair.

Thanks in advance for the recommendations.
