[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 688588, member: 9169"] Now there's a new one! If your tanks are in/near the woods, there is probably an endless supply of long-tailed rats to come chew on your tanks. So trapping or killing them all might not be possible. But then again maybe there is just one "family" of squirrels that has taken up this weird habit and you could get them all. (Want syrup with that waffle?) They make "bitter apple" products to deter dogs and parrots and such from chewing, maybe it would work on the squirrels? As long as it's applied above waterline, to not give your cows water a bitter flavor. I wouldn't worry about the bondo. It's above the waterline, right? Even if not, it should be stable once it's dry. The only sure fire solution I can think of is to replace the plastic tanks with metal ones. [/QUOTE]
