My mom is dealing with a serious rodent problem in her farmhouse, and although she's working with an exterminator, those stubborn critters keep coming back. She's using snap traps and has a cat that hunts mice, but somehow, a few clever rodents are still managing to survive. The issue is that her 50 ft Ethernet cable gets chewed through weekly, which is a hassle since she needs a steady connection for her work-from-home setup. While we aim to eliminate the rodents, what are some effective, non-toxic ways to protect the cables from being chewed in the meantime?

One great way to protect your Ethernet cable is to run it through a small diameter black plastic water pipe. It's pretty durable and inexpensive. If you need to navigate around corners, a budget-friendly garden hose can work too, though it's less durable. For a more permanent solution, consider electrical conduit—it really does the job!
You could also look into using a steel-wrapped garden hose for added protection!
