"The only good mouse is a dead mouse," Australia's Deputy Prime Minister declared this week, as New South Wales stepped up its war on mice with a plan to poison the plague infesting large parts of the state.
For months, mice have ravaged fields and infested homes in eastern Australia, from the Victoria border in the south all the way to the country's northern state of Queensland, causing millions of dollars of damage to crops and machinery. As winter approaches, the hungry rodents are even seeking shelter inside people's houses, according to professional cleaner Sue Hodge.More Related News
