Rodents enjoy chewing on them and the chemicals they use to discourage them only last so long.

- brianwawok 5y agoCode is for me to bury little tiny cables in my backyard 24" down. These giant mega cables have to be at least 36" down, right? Are rodents going 36" deep and eating into cables really a thing?
- dylan604 5y agoat 15,000 volts or whatever, that rodent will only do that once
- dredmorbius 5y agoA RODENT is a redundant occurance of dentifrication of electrical networking technology. There's always another rat (or squirrel, or rabbit, or mole, or ...)
- dylan604 5y agoThat's because they always remove the carcass. You're supposed to leave the carcass of the first one as a warning to all of the others. Growing up, this was something that occurred multiple times a year. Squirrels would climb the poles and short themselves across the 2 leads on the transformer. Zap, one less squirrel, and several hours without power while the power company came out to diagnose the problem and then send out for a replacement.
- dredmorbius 5y agoYou had the power company replace the squirrels? Independent vendors are faster, cheaper, and offer a more locally-adapted product.
- dylan604 5y agoWasn't expecting someone to be on dangling modifier patrol! The squirrels seemed to replace themselves without servicing. If only the transformers were capable of the same thing.
- dredmorbius 5y agoBe thankful it's only the modifiers I'm patrolling ;-)
