Mouse plague

I heard this morning that the mice are very bad around Warren, Nevertire, Collie.

Pack a flute, you'll be right.

We live 15km outside of Dubbo and the mice are everywhere, Narromine and their surrounding towns are worse i'm told. We are using on average 400 grams of Ratsak around the outside of our property a day at the moment and its littered with dead mice. We are trapping 20 mice a night in our roof and 20 in our pool on a daily basis and hundreds more dying from baiting thankfully. Its been going on for 3 or 4 months now and its stopping us from getting away for a trip. Let's hope it gets better soon. A bit more wet and cold weather should cut their breeding and numbers down.

Then of course there's the side effect of baiting the mice that are then consumed by native birds, reptiles and mammals. No win situation.

Mice, locusts, and armyworms, oh my!

But seriously, some people have a lot to deal with, hopefully things improve soon. In particular, the mouse plague videos I've seen are just crazy.

So what's the best way to keep mice away from the wiring under the car? I'll be camping out near Nyngan on my way through in late May.
