My heart goes out to all you Aussies dealing with this. Gravitas: Mouse plague in Australia
The loss of crops will be horrendous. How will they feed their cattle, etc., provide food for the consumer and industry, etc. Prices will go through the roof for everyone. If I were a farmer I'd be raising and breeding brown snakes any time they get excessive rainy seasons.
Steve Irwin did segment on mouse plagues in the Agricultural sectors of Australia a couple decades ago. I remember him giving the names of the snakes that needed to be released to clean up the mice. Brown Snakes and Carpet Pythons. If I were a farmer there, I would have those snakes everywhere around the granaries and buildings while the mouse plague is on
Wonderful. You would think they'd be bringing in a ton of them from all over to help with this nightmare. You can't beat mother nature. Question though, what do you do to keep the well fed snakes under control after?
I was thinking of packing them up when done and shipping them off to the homes of the lock-down bureaucrats to keep up the ridding of vermin
