Steel wool and dryer sheets are used together at some of our remote sites. Often our lines come in via conduit, a good hole plugger. We do have pest control that we utilize, but this is extra insurance if we don't want to get called out in the middle of the night for a "customer communications loss".
Working for AT&T, rodent damage with Cat5 IW was a huge issue. Steel wool kept them out of there highways, underground conduits.
