Rodent proof humidifier drain tube

[candlerman21]

I have a Aprilaire 700 humidifier connected to my gas furnace. The ½" vinyl drain tube is routed through the basement ceiling 30'+ to the laundry tub. There's a pump that assists in getting the excess water out.

Recently, mice have eaten through several sections of the tubing. I've been searching for a tubing material that i could use to prevent this damage until I can get rid of the rodents, which I'm working on with an exterminator.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

You would need to adapt.

Use your old drain tubing to bait the traps. Try PEX, the rumors say rodents do not prefer it, you would be a definitive source to answer that particular question (not said in jest, I really would like to know)

I have repaired numerous leaks on PEX due to rodent bites over the years.

Ive fixed several and also abs and pvc but not a lot but i do a light amount of repair work so I see less than other guys that thats all they do are house calls.
copper if its non corrosive condensate a good choice.
