Chewed Antenna Cabling? Why It’s Time to Call Jim’s Antennas.

Discovering that your antennas cabling has been chewed by rats, birds or other pests is frustrating, but it’s also a bigger problem than it might seem.


Damaged cabling can impact your TV signal, cause interference, or even create safety risks if left unattended. If you’ve noticed frayed or broken antenna cables, it’s time to call in the experts at Jim’s Antennas for a fast and reliable fix.

The Risks of Damaged Antenna Cabling

When antenna cables are damaged, the quality of your TV signal can significantly drop, leaving you with distorted images, a patchy signal, or no reception at all. Even if you’re still getting some signal, the wear and tear on the cable could worsen over time, leading to complete signal loss.

Why Rats Target Antenna Cabling

Rats and other pests are notorious for chewing on cables and wiring, using them to grind down their teeth. Antenna cables, often placed along walls or in ceilings, can be especially attractive targets. Once they’ve chewed through the protective layers of the cabling, signal interference can occur, making it essential to have an expert assess and replace any compromised cables.
