Topband: Critters Eating Coax

[K1ZM at aol.com]

I wonder if anyone on the reflector knows of a remedy that will stop 
squirrels from eating the black jacket from Rg213 coax?

They seem to love the stuff and eat hundreds of feet of the black PVC jacket 
half way around.  In areas where the coax is elevated (and they can reach all 
of it) they eat it ALL THE WAY ROUND!  They stop at the braid (usually) but 
the resulting water intrusion ruins the coax (ultimately).

At some point I am going to have to replace quite a bit of coax but, before I 
do, I wonder if anyone knows of a way to keep the little hungry buggers off 
of it....

Any known solutions out there that WORK?  Is there some substance that the 
critters really do not like that can be applied to the coax - a spray or jelly 
perhaps?

Many thanks for reading.
