Rats gnaw on twisted pair cable, how to fight?

Question

Computer networks

Hello.
The client lives in 4 offices of one building. The provider comes to the 2nd floor, from the router there is a link (48 meters) to the first floor, it is not known how, there it diverges from the switch to another 3 rooms through the walls, in the same place where the heating batteries are located. From time to time, rats gnaw through links, with the advent of cold weather, we were already left only on an old WiFi that could not withstand the load.
The owners of the premises say that they tried to poison, but to no avail. The client also tried on his own.
Even if everyone on the first floor is transferred to WiFi, the link coming from the second floor remains at risk.
Has anyone met with something like this? How to explain to rats that "it is not necessary so".

Answer 1

Alternatively, get cats.

Answer 2

Only remove the cable into the corrugated metal hose .

Answer 3

First and most important! Move the gasket, if possible, to the concrete walls or to the level of the ceiling. The rats have not yet learned to run on the ceiling. The whole thing is easy to ennoble with a small cable channel, if that! Second! Get a cat! Maybe even two! Put poison feeders in all the holes in the building and replenish it regularly. Until the end of time! All your problems are from the reluctance to use a puncher!

Answer 4

Ty, along the wall at a level under the ceiling in the box. They do not cry in boxes.
So I did it all over the house in a high-rise building - into the cable channel and into the boxes.

Answer 5

I was constantly bitten. when they put it in boxes a meter from the floor, they no longer gnawed. there is an opinion that they are attracted by weak RF currents or ultrasonic vibrations caused by the field of wires.

Answer 6

Thank you all for your comments, we will hide in the box.
