Update: The day a simple keypad swap turned into a crawl space nightmare

Got a call to replace a faulty keypad in a nice house over in Brentwood. Pulled the old one off, saw the wire was chewed through, easy fix. Followed it back to find the whole run through the wall and under the house had been turned into a mouse buffet. Spent six hours on my belly in that dirt crawl space re-running 22/4. Anyone have a better way to protect wire runs from rodents besides just conduit?

Watched a buddy spray foam the entire entry point after a similar job. The mice just chewed through that too.

Yeah @martinez.karen, heard they'll chew through almost anything for a nest.
