Ridgetec is now testing this TechFlex cable mesh sheathing. This new product is now available. We are planning to sell it in pre-cut segments for our cables, battery cables, solar panel cable, camera cables.
some people seem to have issues with rodents chewing the cables although I have never had the issue here in Ga. The mesh is easy to apply. Its easy to fish your cable through the mesh. the mesh is thick and durable and impregnated through and through with capsaicin.
Once the critters bite it, their tongue/mouth gets a nice hit of super hot. Sun, rain and weather does not wash it off as it is within the plastic mesh filaments. This is tough stuff to begin with yet remains flexible.
Pending the final results we will sell a roll of 15 feet for a customer to cut and slide over their cables. You must wear rubber gloves when handling this... FYI.
I think the cost will be $10 or so for 15 feet which is more than enough for the camera, the solar power pack etc.
I took a 24" section and stuffed it like sausage with dried corn and nailed it to the fallen pine on the demo small critter cam which anyone can watch live on the internet.
Last night this raccoon bit it twice then never came back for more. It definitely worked because these raccoons will normally go to any length to get corn.
In a bit I will go inspect it later on and report on the condition.
