Crazy critters up this way Virgil, besides the mice & rats:
Had a cat across buss (phase to phase) in 4160 switchgear; now that was not a pretty site.....
Found a snake in a pool panel, across the buss, 120/240 volt, cooked good, and the smell was brutal......
When I worked the inner cities, it used to be roaches, mice, rats, etc...ya didn't wear pants with cuffs, if ya know what I mean. And yes, the bees, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, etc, are a pain (in the light poles and fixtures)
