They finally sent a service tech out to check the

replaced the line and I coated it with hot sauce

like spicy food.
Sorry but, a friend just pointed out that squirrels
and birds do not taste 'heat'.
Your friend is half correct. Birds do not "taste" pepper heat; mammals
do. Could be that rodents such as squirrels also aren't affected but
I'd be surprised. These folks:

have based their business on squirrels not liking hot stuff.
