not all micc has pvc. some is just bare copper

Yes I agree, only ever seen pvs sheaths chewed.

It looks like they have the choice of metal conduit if they want to be sure, or t+e with a continuous pest control program.

As a test...take a piece of micc you have been learning to pot lately, and try gently nibbling away with a pair of cutters...then tell us what you think..

We mixed steel galv with steel copex, to make dopes or tight spots easier

if it is glanded then they have a round serfice to bite into.

what im saying is if they are chewing copper/plastic then they will have bigger problems with there house flooding.

yes I know 15mm copper is thicker but plumbers tend to use plastic everywhere now

It's not just the wiring that mice will damage.
If it was my house I'd be using the money I saved from not having a completely sealed galv conduit install towards the first few years of continuous pest control.

Shanky beat me to it, sort of

Never seen pvc conduit with signs of chewing, would be a cheaper option.
