PREVENTING RODENT DAMAGE
In certain areas, rodents may nest in the cover housing and chew on the cover and ropes. Suburban areas may see frequent rodent activity versus a cover in the city however any time there is a body of water available you increase the likelihood of attracting thirsty rodents.
Unfortunately the manufacturer does not cover damage to your ropes or cover due to rodent damage, so if you see a nest or droppings please contact your local exterminator.
