Well, there's always animal repellent. I've used a woman's nylon stocking
filled with sweepings off of my barber's floor; rabbit repellent spray; and
my own scent. ;-) Having said that, I used those methods in ONE area, at
the base of my 160m Inverted-L. That likely would be impractical along a
long run of coax.
This was discussed here in the past, and there were a lot of good ideas.
Maybe some hams will chime in here with just the one you need. Running it
inside tubing or conduit comes to mind.
