Yeah, all you need now is the flour, water, spices and some rice. A skillet full of those and some brown gravy, YUM YUM!

That sounds delicious however I have witnessed those critters eating electrical wire and wonder what else they eat.

I wonder what wines 'pair' well with plastic

Most electric wire insulation is made of soybeans. That's why mice and rats will eat car wiring. Greys will chew through anything to find a warm place to nest though. They don't eat plastic though

Thanks for the insight.

God Bless

I've trapped a lot of grey squirrels out of older housed in the Tacoma, WA area. It's common for them to chew the insulation off of electrical wires in attics. Those houses predate soy based insulation by decades. They are rodents that need to chew. Soy based insulation may encourage chewing but it's apparent that they strip wires regardless of composition.
