It is doing damage to my house. Should I just shoot it and kill it?

If you have a solution besides not using wood building products I’m all ears.
He's kinda hard to kill if I remember the cartoons correctly.

The easiest non-kill solution is to staple up some bird netting so they can’t get to the area that they’re pecking on.
