Mouse plague deals fresh blow to Australian farmers

<< < (8/9) > >>

Well, we do have some predator deficit in Europe too and as a result there are things like boars roaming city streets scavenging for trash. Although recently, ASF appears to be taking care of those.

Let's imagine the effort that has been put in to fight COVID was used to fight these little bastards (sorry PETA, I should have said these little cute innocent micey wiceys that have as much right to procreate as us evil humans). Then maybe an electronic solution would be found. A certain frequency and amplitude. Has anyone tried knocking out a rat with a brat? If we could get Justin Bieber to throw eggs at the mice whilst playing the Justin Bieber Christmas Album through 1000W speakers, it would wipe the lot of them out.

Mice operate mostly by smell so blinding them won't help much

Well it would make it easier "to cut off their tails with a carving knife!"

Mice plagues have happened in rural New South Wales for more than a century.

My Dad was born in NSW, lived there as a boy before coming to Western Australia, & remembered the mouse plagues vividly.

They even gave  rise to a saying:"Heads on 'em like mice!" to refer to something of which there were many.

For instance, if you were looking for Electronics Geeks, there are "heads on 'em like mice" on eevblog!
