Noderaser; My mother in law, [clumsy lump] trod on my wife's pet rabbit's head and permanently distorted it's teeth. Denise used to trim them back every fortnight with a pair of sturdy nail clippers! shocked Yikes! [ex veterinary's assistant]. I used to go hide in my shed. Something about the sound of teeth snapping off kinda gave me the willies.

Chico; I think you're right about the warmth of cables. The mice here flooded our kitchen twice in quick succession, by chewing through the plastic water pipes within weeks of us moving in to this end of the house. They only attack the hot water pipes. Since all the plumbing was behind the sheetrock, this was a real pita. I moved the lot outboard of the sheetrock, but every access I opened in bathrooms, toilets, kitchen etc. had the hot pipes gnawed, through the foam lagging as well. Killed 21 of the beggars with mousetraps and, touch wood, no more problems. So, if rodents are about they will target overloaded wiring?


Wood work but can't!
