The impacts of the mouse plague are extending well beyond the farm gate, with an ABC News report examining the effect of widespread infestations on the health, wellbeing and daily lives of people living in affected grain-growing communities.
Speaking to ABC News, Grain Producers Australia Research, Development and Extension Spokesperson Andrew Weidemann said growers had created "the perfect habitat to grow crops, but we've also created the perfect habitat to grow rodents."
He said the reality of modern farming systems meant managing mice would remain an ongoing challenge requiring practical, science-based control options.
