I'm about to run a mains feed to my garden which because of the configuration of everything will run extensively through the attic space (single storey cottage).

This looked like a good option in terms of cost and economics of labour. However I was researching something else in the pages here and came on a thread where there was a comment about mice eating plastic piping. Certainly they've had a good nibble at pipe insulation here, but are the pipes a realistic target too ?

OK I do need to set traps etc. each autumn - who doesn't in the country - and in general I'm not seeing any significant damage, but if there is any truth in this, then I will go back to using copper, and not take any risk.
