Set up a roadside squirrel stand like the squirrel lady in the movie “Rat Race”. “You should have bought a squirrel.” From: David Milholen Sent: Monday, May 11, 2015 6:48 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Voltage\Amperage on Shielded Cable make a large funnel with a deep enclosure for the funnel to fit on top of so the base of the funnel is inside the drum/enclosure. place some peanut butter in the base of the drum and coat the inside of the funnel with teflon oh and yes be sure the base of the funnel has a large enough hole big enough to allow them to get in and it must have a neck on the funnel. Give them a plank to walk over the funnel. This way the little suckers will fall into the drum and if its deep enough cant get out. Or you could get some of the larger rodent traps at farm supply that do the same thing accept they lay flat on the ground I dont like catching the big ones that are larger than the trap cuz they get a little angry.

Re: [AFMUG] Voltage\Amperage on Shielded Cable
Where are they chewing it? They seem to like platforms. Maybe put the cable through some flexible conduit or LDPE tubing where the chewing occurs. If cost is the issue, maybe look around for a good price on irrigation tubing, not sure how big that comes. A determined squirrel could chew through it, but as your photos show, they tend to chew a bit one place then try somewhere else. I even used smurf tube once and while clearly that’s not the best choice it seemed to work.

Yeah, that would be better. Squirrels are very inquisitive and persistent creatures. They would probably bite all your other cables to determine if they get shocks from all of them.

I use irrigation pipe a lot for various things in-ground. That might work. Someone suggested coyote\fox urine. Then again, I think they might be living in the leg. I saw a decent sized rust hole.

They seem to like platforms. Maybe put the cable through some flexible conduit or LDPE tubing where the chewing occurs. If cost is the issue, maybe look around for a good price on irrigation tubing, not sure how big that comes. A determined squirrel could chew through it, but as your photos show, they tend to chew a bit one place then try somewhere else. I even used smurf tube once and while clearly that’s not the best choice it seemed to work.

Re: [AFMUG] Voltage\Amperage on Shielded Cable
I put conduit and breakout boxes up every tower / silo / grain elevator. It has been awesome. I run a ton of extra cables and two or three extra mule tape to each box as well. When the extra cables get used it is cake to pull a new one, and then I leave the 2nd mule tape in the box and pull it back through the next time, so there is always one in there. Also, when it comes time to run fiber to every AP (hey, one can always dream) it will be super easy. I can't imagine ever building out any other way now. I started out using grey pvc conduit, but have since graduated to shielded liqui-tite. The pvc conduit, male adapters, and boxes ran about $100 per site. The shielded 1 1/2 liqui-tite runs about $400-600 per site. On Sun, May 10, 2015 at 5:42 PM, Jay Weekley par...@cyberbroadband.net wrote: That's what happens to my Dad's peach trees.
