Shoutout to the customer in Phoenix who had a squirrel chew through their main line last Tuesday. That was a new one for me. | Cable Installers - Discusd
Read an article a while back about rodents chewing through power lines. They said it's because some wire coatings are made with soy or corn oil now. The squirrels think it's food. That explains why you see more of these chewed lines lately. Makes a real mess when they hit something important like a main line.
Had a raccoon get into a client's attic once through a chewed vent. The mess was something else, insulation torn up everywhere. Took two days just to clean it out before we could even start the repair.
