How can I stop animals from chewing my propane tank hose connected to my patio heater?

I vote for the hot sauce, add some extra cayenne, then apply with brush. Works with bugs..... it may work with critters too

couple things you could try

You could go to an atuo parts store and pick up some braided wire hose covering and wrap your hose in that . Or

you could rub a hot sause , like TABASCO on it .. the smell alone should deter them ,, if not one taste will have them heading back into the woods ..

good luck ..

wow .. how long have you used your patio heater as a grill ..lol ..

ok dee dee and jorge .. .. clearly you are missing something here .. first of all the question was HOW to stop this from happening not WHY this was happening ..and CLEARLY it was stated that the hose that was being chewed on was the hose that connects the propane tank to a patio heater .. no where was there mention of a gas grill sorry to have to break the news to you ...

b b gun!!! sorry... but they will come back unless you dont let them. just kidding!!! sorry! maybe get at dog or....

try to find a hydraulic hose shop and they should have a metal wrap or a thick plastic wrap that would stop the animals from being able to penetrate the cover of the hose. a good place is tompkins industries. call 1800-422-3495 and ask for aaron. he works at tompkins and is awesome at coming up with answers!

You can try animal deterrent pellets for outdoor use from a pet, hardware or gardening store. Your local animal welfare organisation will likely also be able to advise on a remedy safe for your hose and safe for wildlife.

I relies upon. Is there a stress connection there? If there is, then NO. If there is not then confident. the quantity that could leak earlier you pay attention it may be small. i could turn it and spot. you will scent it besides. The gate valve opens sluggish so which you're able to try this. confirm there are not any open flames, or sparks... DUH... and confirm you vent the area earlier, in the time of and afterwards.

the reason animals are chewing on it, is that when you grill, drops of grease drop down on the hose, which is attracting animals (probably raccoons or mice or rats)

I would try smearing something nasty tasting along the rubber.

I'll have to side with DeeDee, that would be the only reasonable reason why they would chew one it.
