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)

I WORK IN A CORN/ALCHOL PROCESS PLANT AND THE CLEAN UP CREWS COULD DO A LITTLE BETTER TO SAY THE LEAST SO I SEE ALOT OF RATS AND MICE(BOTH DEAD AND ALIVE) BUT THE BEST ONE I HAVE SEEN WAS A CAT ON THE PRIMARY OF THE 13,800 VOLT TRANFORMER ON THE POWER COMPANY'S LINES. HE(OR SHE, HARD TO TELL) DID NOT HAVE MUCH TIME TO PLAY BEFORE THE PLANT WENT DARK. JUST HAPPENED TO COME AT A TIME WHEN THE TURBINES WERE BEING OVERHAULED. I THINK THE CLIENT WOULD HAVE LOVED TO RESURECT THAT ONE JUST TO KILL IT AGAIN.

Once had a large rat that fell across the terminals of a 4000A ACB, man it stunk! Knocked a whole Factory out, too. Don't ask me how it got in there, but it sure was BIG!.

Guys, A couple of years back there was a Topic posted, that had a site on it, that had a squirrel caught up in some High Voltage Lines, there were other pics, too. Can anyone please remember what the URL of that site was, or the name of the thread?. Wouldn't mind having a look at it again!.

A few years ago in Silicon Valley a squirrel got into a substation and shorted something taking out half the town.
BTW, to clean up cat pee, use a bleach solution where the cat peed. This will counteract the annonia in the cat pee. Cats will pee in places that smell like ammonia.
