A blue communication cable in an attic chewed through by a rodent, exposing frayed copper strands above blown-in insulation and wood framing.

During an attic inspection in Allen, TX, we found a communication cable gnawed through by a rodent, leaving the inner copper wiring frayed and exposed above the blown insulation. Rodents chew wiring constantly, which can cause service outages and fire hazards. We identified the activity and recommended a treatment plan for the rodents in the attic.
