Default Mice Plague in Australia
Crazy outbreak. Sounds like it's out of control.






EDIT: Sounds like PETA is doing PETA things. "Don't kill the mice, human supremacy or something something."

Well I have never been mouse phobic but man that is disgusting. I often catch a few in my garage but I cant even imagine them entering my home and running across my bed at night.

Cane Toads will eat mice, has Australia ever thought of introducing them to the ecosystem?

Australia already has enough critters on the ground or in the water trying to kill you. I'd suggest introducing more flying terrors to address the issue.

Owls are mostly harmless. Send them some owls.

Gotta wonder if this is the result of an ecological imbalance created through last years wild fires.

I’ve killed many mice at my place over the years. Haven’t had any survive after I got those little poison boxes. They’re about five inches long and four inches wide and you put little cubes in. The mice go in via the entrance holes and chew on the poison then go away to die. They’re one if the best things ever. I have several around my property -inside and out.
