Is mdpe gnawable?

[turnpike]

Where the mains MDPE comes up into the house under floorboards is it at risk to vermin taking chunks out of it like hep and jg is?

Possibly, they love sharpening their teeth.

Put bait traps under your floor.

the only thing vermin do not gnaw is 100kv cables, anything else is theoretically at risk

did a job at a local brewery once. rats had gnawed through 25mdpe in about 7 places. not my kind of rats though. if i were them i would of gone for the ale rather than the cold mains

although not often found in homes, vermin do gnaw at HV insulation, but strangely only once.

I once found a cat across a couple of HF busbars to an induction furnace.

eewuuuuuuuuuuu.

the 100 kv i meant hang from pylons, and the buggers still can't climb them
