Here in Europe, PEX is perfectly normal. The key difference is that we build our homes out of brick and mortar or outright solid concrete instead of wood, cardboard and glasswool, so pests have it much, much more difficult to cause damage.

- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> we build our homes out of brick and mortar or outright solid concrete instead of wood I mean yes, you chopped down your forests millennia ago ;).
- ahartmetz 2y agoNah, according to what I've read, we really ran out of forest (wood) and had to start replanting them about 500 years ago, give or take a factor of two.
- tourmalinetaco 2y agoDoesn’t Paris have an annual rat culling since their population of rats is like 10mil? And London is almost as bad as New York (which is also mostly stonework). The material hardly matters for rodents, as stone will make its own holes over time for them to get into, and the sewers in Europe are even older and in parts less maintained than the US.
- mschuster91 2y agoOh we do have rats but they live in the sewers and gutters where food waste ends up, not in the walls of our homes.
