'I've never seen anything like that,' the pest control company's owner said. 'The more acorns I pulled out from the wall, the more there were. It felt like it wasn't going to end.'
Owners of a Glen Ellen, California, vacation rental recently discovered that acorn woodpeckers are true hoarders.
"I've never seen anything like that," said Castro, owner of Nick's Extreme Pest Control in Santa Rosa."The more acorns I pulled out from the wall, the more there were. It felt like it wasn't going to end." Previous owners had wrapped the house in vinyl after its wood siding was destroyed when the woodpeckers stashed acorns behind the trim, Castro said.
