A couple of weeks ago, I laid down two runs of CAT-3 computer cable from the house to the tower for a new antenna switching system. I was out there yesterday after the rain stopped, and discovered a

It's not the outer casing they want, Pete, it's access to the data and current flowing in the inner wires. Yes, I'd say you probably have an infestation of cyber-bunnies. They're hard to get rid of.

Rodents love the smell/taste of new cables. I have been told that manufacturers use animal fat as a lubricant in the manufacturing process (sounds like a fairy tail but who knows?). The next time I i

Mice and rats have a field day with wire insulation. I let my boat under a shed for a little more than a year, with a cover on mind you, and had to totally rewire the boat. Rats had eaten all of the

Pete: Years ago at another QTH our neighborhood during a drought was invaded by rats and for some reason they chewed off everything on about a 3 ft. section of drop cable on cable TV from the pole to

Pete, I've had all sorts of trouble with critters chewing cables and coax. They really seem to like LMR400UF, but not 9913 and Buryflex as much. So far, I haven't found a rotor cable they don't like.

Interesting thought. There's something sold in the farm supply stores hereabouts called Bat Scat, which is supposed to be an all-purpose rodent repellent. According to the label, it is basically some

I think they like the texture/chewiness more than the smell/taste. Gray squirrels have chewed off the sheet lead flashing around my chimneys; and, last year chipmunks chewed completely through not ju

Oh! That reminds me of something I'd almost forgotten: about six or seven years ago I had my 1993 Audi 90 Quattro car in for service and they told me mice had eaten through most of the engine wiring.

Make sure the cable covering is okay with gasoline - many are not. I put my cables either in plastic pipe or I bury the cables. Where they come out of the ground and are accessible to the critters, I

I assumed it was a smell/taste thing because the danged critters only go for new cable(s) while ignoring old existing cables on the same bundle. Last year when installing some optical encoders on the

You might try blood meal or dryed blood available at garden centers. I've used it around plants in my garden and the critters avoid it like the plague. It's in powdered form so you could easily sprin
