What Animal Chews Through Ets Wiring

[Darnaway]

went into the loft on Tuesday to give it a good clean out and noticed some wire lying in the corridor, on checking the wiring system connected to the Bricon ETS System i noticed that all the wiring enclosed above the false ceiling had been cut into numerous pieces.

 

1 adaptor/ power pack and a 6 field pad were all made useless.

 

I have several mouse traps down under the floor grills and a couple of bags of poison yet no signs or the typical smell of mice.

 

Checked the false ceiling but didn,t notice any droppings.

 

Does anyone have an idea whet did the damage ?

can crows get in m8, sometimes they damage the wires on tv arials

the loft was made by Petron and the roof space is enclosed by wire so i suppose it could only be something that is reasonably small

Sounds like a rodent of some description is doing it, but if there are no droppings there are no mice. I would hazard a guess at a squirrel, they can get into just about anywhere that takes their fancy

you either have mice or rats

Rats will chew through wire, check to see if there are any droppings the size of currants. or if there is anywhere in the sides of the loft that a rat can get in they like to chew wood also so look for that too. if there is a gap were you think they may be able to get in look to see if the area were they come in has any scaly dirt over the gap were there bodies have made contact that is asure sign of them.

rodents

i will have a look tomorrow to see if there are any tell tale signs of any scaly dirt. i had a look for dropping and there were none about small or large.

[glenrandal]

looks like rats set a trap........

[Guest homestead]

I agree with John, rodent or squirrel both having nibbled cables in my loft

[Darnaway]

had a look around the loft in daylight and couldn,t find any obvious marks where rats have tried to gain access. will need to just keep an eye out.

 

The traps and bait have still not been touched which makes me think it might have been a squirrel

[Guest bigda]

a squirrel

[billt]

a squirrel

You been hibernating Bigda

[gingell]

put some more wire to a plug blank the ends off and plug it strait in to 240amps you will soon see what chewed through it then. it should be lying some were close stone dead.

[gulkie]

I believe it to be a squirrel also. leave out some maize I

HAD them the maize will be chewed up and left lying why they

do this I do not know ,easy caught with a gin trap or its

like. ;)
