    The joys of living rurally…

    This is the second time in 5 months that a rat or mouse has chewed through a cable in our garden.

    We have a network of pipes in our garden through which wires run to several sections of our yard. On the intersections of those pipes there are inspection pits, which I suspect are popular locations for rodents to visit.

    Last time we had a large arcflash and a fire, this time I caught it before it became a problem.

    Here in Italy, they don’t have cables with metal shielding, so I’m looking for a different solution to protect the wires. Does anyone have an idea?

    @interpipes They’re already in ducts (around 6cm), so pulling duct in duct would severely limit the space for cables (not to mention the longest runs are 25+ meters, which would SUCK for duct in duct).

    @OverSoft I wonder if some capsaicin spray could be effective, knowing that it should be re-applied every once in a while.
