Has anyone ever had any trouble with rodents chewing on PEX?
I’ve seen them chew the plastic nozzle off a gas can before and I’d hate to think the chemical order of the pex might seem inviting to them.
Thanks

Easy-to-make tools simplify the framing, while time-tested flashing techniques make it last a lifetime.

I have worked on quite a few buildings with both mice and rat infestations and haven't seen any evidence they like pex. One of the houses had an rat still attached to the range wire and another had an enlarged hole where the pex went through a wall that the rat used to enter, but didn't eat the pipe. Of course this anecdotal evidence may make some poor bugger those pex is riddled with bite marks shake his head.
I'd heard some guys say they had found teeth marks on pex but it was a pretty rare circumstance.
Thanks.

Rez,
They do not mess with it. Plumbers I have worked with agree that it is a safe choice!
They only mess with it in Cali.http://www.tvwsolar.com
I went down to the lobby
To make a small call out.
A pretty dancing girl was there,
And she began to shout,
"Go on back to see the gypsy.
He can move you from the rear,
Drive you from your fear,
Bring you through the mirror.
He did it in Las Vegas,
And he can do it here."
