For those birds like flickers and woodpeckers that make holes in siding, it is easier to remove the cause, i.e. their food. These birds are after the larvae of the Fly Wasp.
I was the one who had the flicker issue and it was not food that was causing the source of my specific issue with the flickers, it was always spring time nesting. If it was food, the potential for the problem with the flickers wouldn't be isolated to only the east side of my house. The bird netting on only the east side of my house completely solved my issue with the flickers.
Glad to hear you found a solution to your flicker problem. I mentioned the insecticide since it a fairly less invasive solution to rid houses of bird problems.
The location of nesting or feeding holes has little to do with the compass although I've found most damage is on corners facing South or Southeast.
