Varmints?

Margo had a problem. A watering dripper was squirting all over, so she asked me to fix it. Why Shore, men can do anything. It was in a pot in her back yard170592

The distribution tube was perforated - hmmm - How could that happen?

It looks like something was chewing on it - but What? Fenced (block) yard 6' high - carrumba. I snipped off the 5" that was feeding the dripper, and that cured the problem, but What Ate The Tube???

A rat or other rodent.

Some type of rodent. They were trying to get water

cats are idiots and a 6' wall would just give them something to sit on.

While using it as a stand for aerial viewing the rodents.

Yeah, rodents have the jaw strength and the incisors to do that.
Find out how they're getting into the yard.

Cat. Rat would chew it to pieces.

One of my sisters had a cat that chew on the elec. line for a lamp then got zap after doing it some many times and that line look bad. Look like a cat did it ,for how space the holes are and the way the holes are, also like popper said a rat would of chew it to pieces.

I think Popper is right, too. Rodents shred stuff.

I have heard from guys in Yuma that the citrus farmers have big problems with rabbits chewing up drip lines. Just another possibility.

She had a couple of house (Siamese) cats, but got rid of them when they started eating her clothes. Never got outside. But could be some others...

[farmerjim]

Rats will bite my drip lines and make only a few small holes. Other times they will chew a half moon out of the line. It is a pain to go fix them.
