Webinar Overview:
Since animals cause many outages, it is often easy to blame an unknown outage on a squirrel. Many different products are on the market to help reduce animal-caused outages and each product focuses on a certain animal and situation. This webinar will explore the logistics of animal-caused outages and the theories behind the deterrent systems. Squirrels, snakes, birds, gophers, and large animals will be discussed along with the environmental factors that need to be considered in the selection of deterrents. For instance, snakes often come into a substation because of nesting birds; therefore, preventing nesting birds will reduce snake-caused outages.
