Sounds like some of you folks need to contract with a good pest control company.
rodents getting into speakers via speaker ports
I am weary of speakers with open ports especially of those that aren't covered by a speaker grill. Most of us live in real worlds that occasionally get mice into our homes. Also insects such as spiders and roaches also get inside speakers. Transmission line speakers sound great but with that open slot at the bottom looks like it is inviting rodent damage.
I bring this up as I watched a video on YouTube where a deadly Cobra got inside a speaker via a low uncovered speaker port. The snake handler removed the speaker horn and through the opening used tongs to pull the snake out of the speaker.
The link is time stamped to where the snake handler examines the speaker on the lying flat on the floor.

I myself would rather put a speaker in the dumpster and go shopping for new speakers than risk death from a deadly snake.

I was told by my pest control person that a mouse can get thru a hole the size of a dime, and a rat would be a nickel. Also, the only thing they will NOT chew through is metal, so I have stuffed steel wool in ANY hole I can find on the outside of the house that is a dime or nickel size. We live in western NC, and LOTS of rodents here. |
@elliottbnewcombjr The mice don't eat the wire insulation because they're hungry. They do it to sharpen their teeth. Just thought you might find that interesting. @dmk_calgary A rat certainly can and will chew through metal. I've read that a rat can eventually chew through steel if it's life depends on it. |
