With farmers being urged to prepare for another mouse plague similar in proportion to the 2021 numbers, there is no better time to look into vermin proofing your shed than now!
Twitter account MouseAlert has identified growing populations in Central Queensland, the Southern Riverina in NSW, the Northern Valley in Victoria, the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia and Western Australia.
During the 2021 season, millions of dollars worth of crops were destroyed, and extensive damage was caused to farm machinery, vehicles and buildings. One-third of the farmers surveyed by NSW Farmers estimated their losses to be somewhere between $50,000 and $150,000 total from the crop, vehicle, equipment and building damage.
CSIRO Research scientist Steve Henry has been quoted as saying “Farmers need to get out of their vehicles and walk through their paddocks to see signs of mouse activity, We haven’t reached plague proportions but we are getting reports of higher numbers across the cropping zone and farmers need to be prepared to take action to reduce numbers as they sow the winter crop, As it gets colder mice are also seeking shelter and are coming into houses and other buildings,” he said.
