Do you have a spray that the sapsucker finds objectionable? Any way to do away with them?
There are several options available and in most situations, it's really just a matter of matching up the best option for where you need to repel them. For starters, I suggest you review our WOODPECKER CONTROL article. In the article you'll see a product mentioned called ROPEL that can be sprayed where they're active. It will usually get them to move away and stay away from treated surfaces.

We appear to have a pare of "pileated" wood peckers in our wooded lot. Our house is 2 story in
the back and has many very large picture windows that have a sun screen film on the inside. This is slightly reflective on the out side. One of these woodpeckers is very persistent at pecking at these windows .He also is stripping a lot of bark from a large oak tree just behind our house.
What can be done out side of shooting these birds?

Pella window, lots of siding etc. it's run us into $1,000s of $$. we also live next to a woods. i am very angry. they are brazen and when you run them off they come right back. my neighbor is having the same trouble. we are away mos. of the yr. so monitoring is difficult.

Woodpeckers are pecking holes all the way around my satsuma trees. How can I keep them away? I thought about wrapping some of the branches & parts of the trunk in foil. Will that work or hurt the tree??
