Mouse plagues sweeping Australia

Farmers warn that mouse plague is considered to be worse than drought and some say mouse plague has the potential to cause more potential
damage than locust plague.

In this winter season, the mouse plague extends across south-eastern Australia with reportedly extensive crop damage which compels farmers to re-sow hundreds of hectares of crops in some parts of Australia to ensure the continual production of crops.mouse plague in australia

Last year alone, mouse plague has devoured hundreds of thousands of hectares of crops across Western Australia, Victoria and South Australia. The plague was deemed the worst mouse plague infestation since 1993.
