Mouse plague deals fresh blow to Australian farmers
(1/9) > >>
Trader:
Some Aussie could create an Electronic Rat Trap.  Just saying...

I saw it on Sky News Australia a week ago. The situation is pretty dia down there.

I found it ammusing that PETA activists are campaigning for trap and release. They have no idea. Release them where? It's fair enough doing that in places where mice are native, but they have no natural predators in Australia, which is why there's a problem in the first place. :palm:
SeanB:
There is a video channel on mouse traps, must be a very popular item in those areas at the moment. And yes, cane toads were imported to deal with mice, but became an even bigger pest problem.

Time for the farmers to get inventive and make some large volume mouse falls, and place them all over the area, and then get a mincer and boiler, and make hog food out of the mice.

It happens twice every year this year is a bit up on normal. The Media is Bored with COVID so lets go look for the next ratings grab  :palm:


--- Quote ---CSIRO's most recent mouse report in March documented mice numbers as "moderate to high" in many regions of southern Queensland, northern, central and southern NSW, north-western Victoria, parts of South Australia and around Ravensthorpe, WA.
The report said mice have continued to breed through summer and autumn and would reach "a peak at sowing of winter crops".
CSIRO forecast mice would appear in houses and sheds as temperatures drop.
Footage and photos of the mouse plague have created headlines around the world, with recordings of mice "raining" down from inside hay barns and swarms of rodents scuttling through homes and farms.

Peel back a Tarp loosely covering a pile of grain and surprise surprise what does the Media Camera catch "Ratings"  :horse:

Didn't you guys got rid of a lot of feral cats a few months back?  I recall seeing a news clips on that ~6 months ago, or may be 6-12 months ago.
