Evil Ninja Squirrels

Will reports his Internet service went out when squirrels chewed through the insulation of his cable line, letting it fill with water:

... The frosting on the cake was when (the cable tech) came inside and said, "Yeah, so squirrels chewed on the line and then it filled with water. There's nothing we can do about that because we can't kill all the squirrels."

My neighbors feed the squirrels. I have had as many as 8 nesting in my attic and I have had pest controllers do everything possible to keep them out but they simply chew a new hole. Advanced Pest Control has taken the insulation taken out of the attic, everything washed down, sprayed squirrel repellant, and new insuation put in.

So far the only thing I have found to keep them out is a loud radio in the attic. The try to get in 12pm to 2am and that is when I have the radio going in the attic. I also have it on when I am at work.

So far no squirrels.
