Many parts of rural eastern Australia are being overrun by mice as farmers and rural communities struggle to combat an escalating plague. The increase in the pest’s population, brought about by the end of the drought, is decimating crops, destroying stored hay and invading silos, sheds and homes. The plague is also having a health impact, with reports of poisoned mice carcasses finding their way into drinking water tanks

Pump Easily available NITROGEN into their underground nets and network now during Winter, into Storage Silos, sealed in hay stacks and underground systems

Верблюды … кошки … австралийцы, природа вам очень сильно отомстит. Эти мышки только начало! 😁😁😁
Jaurias de gatos y manadas de terriers
Call Davy Crockett and his buddies and I'll even take my firepower we'll get rid of em do y'all. Just stop those lily livered fools from making there comments that it's not nice to shoot mice. _+_$_& em.
Don't KILL THEIR PREDATORS!!! Such as Ferral CATS & OTHERS. You see the results now.
💗💗 Owls , eagles , hawks , wild cats , are the best natural choices for this mice-issue ! Mice are the enough foods to support glorious wild lives in the beautiful nature. Imagine billion of eagles in the sky ! How beautiful it is !
Eagles , Owls , Cats can play the important role in resolving these issues. 🦅🦅🦅🦅 Or send these mice to medical research labs. 🔬🔬
Caused by damn environmentalists shooting feral cats and foxes to protect native species . Mice and cats and foxes are in Australia now and they need a balence and if natives can't keep up they will die out thats nature . You don't seem to have a clue
Start hanging unpoisened mice near "birds of prey". Leave a trail to your issues. Stop dropping poisen. Burn the deadly ones (poisoned mice). You dont want the birds eating those. Hawks, Owls, Eagles. Fix a problem by bridging a gap. Someones hungry. And needs exercise anyway.
You can also sell a Billion mice for a buck a piece. Visit local reptile farm. Zoos.
Plant 🌳 's you dont mind being inhabited. Birds are moved in. Mice leave by population drops. Move contaminated crops away. "You're living with the birds and mice anyway".

Screen shot this please. Balance environment. Trees grow. Australia cools down. Plenty of shade. More oxygen.
A B C D synonymously. Dont procrastinate.
Land appreciation. Beats indiscriminate killing. Plant every seed you can.
You're over here🌏 🌎 🌍 so am I. Trees yield more seeds for more fruits/veggies. Even if money dries up. Food comes off the vines. Juice the fruits of your labor.
Then take accountability.
Do it again.

When they leave grain and hay bales on the ground, like I keep seeing, all they’re doing is feeding the problem. Solution is no accessible feed no more mouse problems. Not rocket science here.
Imagine all those were deadly spiders…
Maybe they can dig a big deep pit with wall where mice couldn't climb back up. Then the next day burn. Refill and burn🤷
RODENT BIRTH CONTROL….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWGGwoJvvUs
Those mice know things we don’t know. Start using your brains
Gosh how I love flame throwers

Haven't seen a plague this bad since all those rabbits invaded father Ted's house
Chinese people ko bhej do pura mouse they eat all😂😂😂😂
It is easily fixed but nobody will listen to me – CRISPR genetic engineering so they only produce males and the population collapses soon after a gene drive
fried it
Looks like the flood infector forms
Can't they be turned into burgers or something? Must be karma for culling the feral cats.
This is what happens when you use European-style agricultural techniques that requires the destruction of the natural ecosystem to sustain its practice. The plague wouldn't be as horrible if the owls, hawks, kookaburras still have their homes. But agriculture is king, to hell with nature.
That's my nightmare
Yall killed all the feral cats and this is what ya get. Lol
Meanwhile the government interfere in other's businesses.
My house is just 8km from Melbourne CBD and I have caught >20 mouse last year. Walking out in the evening and it's easy to see mice on the roadside and dumpster.
Looks like that game, A Plague Tale
Read they deal with this every 10 years or so!!!!! Saw it as far back as 1984!…..I'd be packing and leaving the freakin' area at the FIRST sight of any small gathering in/around my home!!!!! More than 10…..I'M OUT SUCKAS!!!!! But to live there knowing it was coming AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN!??? Sheesh Maaate!!!!! 😳😳😳😳
Thats very interesting.. Im noticing alot news papers are very careful not to mansion exactly WHERE the locations are. Well i found one. (orange nsw 2800, australia)
Shouldn't have killed all of those cats.
