Fed-up farmers beg government for money to help with mice plagues

Farmers overrun by millions of mice have begged the government for help - only to be told there is no money left in the Budget. Homes and farms across NSW have endured masses of rodents within the past few months leaving the majority of their stocks completely destroyed. NSW Farmers and the Country Women s Association met at State Parliament on Tuesday to detail just how much their lives have been put on hold to cope with the endless stream of mice. They asked for $25,000 per farm to help buy and set up mouse baits to kill the rodents and save their crops and homes.

Emergency permit allows farmers battling Australian mouse plague to use double-strength bait

CSIRO researcher Steve Henry says mice rapidly develop an aversion to the bait so it’s critical every grain is a lethal dose. “One of my colleagues calls it the dodgy curry effect … if you go out, you have some food, you come home and feel sick, you’re not going back to that restaurant again for quite some time,” Henry said. The higher dose bait will be on the market soon and costs farmers just a dollar more a kilogram. But, the NSW Farmers association says the regular product is already in short supply, with demand causing prices to skyrocket.
