One thing we found out from a power company employee... Gray squirrels do
not seem to go for the chewing on insulation. RED squirrels do and are
considered fair game for a .22 when found near electrical gear.
We don't have any red squirrels..perhaps that's why none of my 100ft of coax
on the ground has been able to go chew-free?
