It’s important for electricians to learn from each other all over the world. Here’s a technique we don’t often see in the U.S. electrical market, but it appears to be effective for controlling wire-eating rodents. Check the video if you aren’t ophidiophobic.
From the story:
A team of Australian electricians were carrying out routine maintenance on street lights near Brisbane recently when they came across an expected work hazard: a hefty carpet python that had taken up residence in one of the control boxes.
Undeterred by the snake, the team opted to leave it be – after all, a rodent-gobbling python is a great way to keep rat populations under control.
So apparently, despite common electrical problems caused by wildlife, there are situations where they can help. In Australia, anyway.
