I had the exact same problem until I switched to direct burial 
flooded RG-6. Never another chewed cable after that. It is laying on 
the ground in the woods just like the previous regular varieties of 
coax. I don't think it can be the flooding compound unless they can 
small it through the jacket. Nothing has ever bitten into it. The 
jacket is also a different material (I would have to look it up). I 
presume for whatever reason this stuff just doesn't smell good to 
rodents or deer.
