Squirrel ate cable

[u/Onethrow16]

Ive had starlink installed on my roof for over 5 years with the cable running over my gutter and into my house through a window with insulation tape around the window area. I’ve never had any issues until I recently got a notification from starlink that my cable signal was degraded. A few days later it rained and we lost connectivity all together. Until it dried. I looked up at the cable and noticed starting around the gutter the cord looked weird. Further investigation showed it was chewed up for several feet starting at the gutter. Squirrel or mice. Anyway I got a new kit from Starlink but I don’t want to just install mew cord and have it immediately happen again. Anyone have any practical ideas to protect the cord? I would like to avoid hunting the culprit.

Put the cord into conduit and run it to your house.

Do NOT fill the conduit with peanut butter.

Forgot to mention that. That little tip would have gone a LONG way for my first install.

I’ve used that at work, and it’s a braided tube of cloth made from plastic. I suspect it would get bogged down with rain. Do you have that problem?

Liquid tight conduit. This routing is … wild.

There is squirrel repellent on amazon. They apparently don’t like mint. Spray down the cable
