Mouse plague to hit Sydney by August
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 май 2021
- A destructive mouse plague is closing in on Sydney with experts predicting rodents could begin invading homes by August.
The mouse population in regional towns has continued to surge triggering a $50 million commitment from the Berejiklian government in a bid to curb the outbreak.
There have been new reported sightings of mice in the western suburbs with the rodents being transported into city areas on trucks and food pallets.
Similar plagues have lasted over two years.
If we surrender mice today, do we have to surrender to viruses tomorrow. Imagine your doctor not prescribing medicine because " viruses and bacterias have right to live".
Don't laugh at that.....it could happen.
@@JamesP29 Thats the scary part ahahah
This is a very inspired and amusing suggestion, it made me laugh. It's not so crazy to think of what you wrote being a literal possibility in the land of the activists because if you look at the direction these ideologically possessed zealots have gone in the recent past, well, it's been a hell of a lot stranger and far more preposterous than fighting for the rights of viruses and bacteria. We laugh now, but wait and see what this nutty lot come up with next. I love a good thought experiment, however these PETA SJW types have a long history of running headfirst at high velocity into fantasy-land ideas that just sound good and they NEVER "play things through", thinking no further than their noses. They love to over-process theories, ideas and give their ideological scaffolding a good polish. However, it's never good to over-process and then half-bake.
@@JamesP29 I've heard it stated by greenies 20 years or more ago...
PETA has promised to adopt every mouse into a loving and caring home. 😉
Those wild mice scrub up pretty neat, after a bath and a few meals they will become fully domesticated and loving pets 🤣
Is that before or after they steal pets and kill? What a bunch of hypocrites
Will they take Biden too? He’s a RAT!
:D lol
Then beat them senseless and leave them for dead!
lets see if PETA still defend them when the mice reach their house and offices
Hopefully it hits Inner city , middle class lefties worse than farmers.
Lois said no
@@Beantastrophe hopefully the mice will get the memo
not to mention their food supplies :s why are they not more concerned about _that_ ?
@@bearifiablepau2095 because they assume it will never affect them. its mentality of "it only happens to others"

This morning I found out my pet mouse, Elvis, had died.
He was caught in a trap.
I think that joke may have gone over the heads of a lot of people.
He wasn't killed. But he was all shook up.
There's a trillion replacements heading for Sydney.
🤣🤣🤣🇬🇧

The rodents are having a field day.
Field mice?
I live in western Sydney semi rural area .. and already have a mouse issue .. this year is the first time we have seen a mouse in 3 years of living here...
So sorry to hear...I live in California and had a rat problem but have since. Moved....good luck...store your food in bins and set put glue traps and then shoot with a pellet rifle
@@gwennauslot1104 are you serious? You really can’t have a pellet gun?
@@prestondunn1991 Yep Gwenn is right. Also any auto or semi-auto was taken after the Port Arthur psy-op. In fact, body armour is illegal in some states & carrying a knife - even a Leatherman type pocket knife - is also illegal. We are naked but not many here would have the balls to use a weapon anyway. Too dociled down.
I am in Sydney and had 5 little rats in the last 6 months.
Never seen them here before.
But a neighbour was breeding them then he got a Cat. So they moved to my place for shelter.
@@repent4christ541 Glue traps are cruel. Rat trap is better.
I am so sorry to hear a disaster again going on in your country, guys! :(
Andrea... : Thanks mate but it's not a disaster, we get these mouse plagues every four or five years. This plague started about 6 months ago and will end soon due to cold weather.
@@buildmotosykletist1987 I hope so. 👍I have never heard anything like this in Europe.
The biggest disaster is our Government, we now live under a Dictatorship under threat of genocide, our Government passed a law which provides immunity from prosecution to foreign forces who machinegun down antivaxxer and safe-vaxxer protesters, we are also trapped on this Slave Nation Island, Australians aren't allowed to leave or enter under pain of fine and lengthy imprisonment and our PM threatened to inject us with a experimental, not fully tested, no-liability genetic engineering non-vaccine
Australia, mate. Every animal there is dangerous, whether it be an emur or a mouse
@Yuck Foutube I'm in a rural area and yes, the mice are a problem at the moment. But this has happened after a long wet season and has been like this for decades before. You need to be prepared for it as much as possible but there will be damage. I can't say this is a disaster on a national level, but for rural communities it is.
You are right though. More lack of foresight by the government. Noe they want to use baits to kill the mice, which will also kill the predators which prey on the mice. So the problem gets worse since the predators take much longer to recover.
Normally you need....Cats...the domestic cat is a ruthless killing machine. Sadly once it's finished off your mice it will turn on native species. Better to issue air rifles to all your kids and put a bounty on the carcasses.
Then bring them to the trapper and make hats of the carcasses.

The CCP has expressed interest in building a Dim Sim factory at Merriwa in the Upper Hunter region.
And a Dim Sum factory is like a lunch there?
Or what is this factory gonna produce?
Lmfao! The CCP can finally get its people through the famine it will soon cause itself. I for one couldn't care less. Australia is Mad Max country and if we become derelicts, I'm coming for the CCPs dinner.
@@Jonnie244 are you like DIM or something? they will catch all the mice and produce a FOOD factory of tinned mice of course! or serve them in restaurants they open everywhere locally...and make fur coats of their skins perhaps...
Merriwa has been part of China since ancient times

Tail of mouse.
Eye of cat.
Head of newt
and wing of bat.
Tongue of toad.
Ear of dog.
Skin of snake
and leg of frog.
No..it's not a witches' potion, it's the reasons the council shut down our local KFC.
KFC should take note of Wendy's secret chili ingredient. Finger of human.
Where located?
That's not a bad thing.
Finally we got the ingredients of the secret herbs and spices
I was thinking a icp song 😂😂😂😂
peta: don't kill the mice it's too cruel
mice if not killed: kills everything else alive due to huge population
@Pain Free reduce the population. at some point the method becomes irrelevant. if you don't use poison you could make animal feed out of the bodies otherwise fertilizer or biofuel(biogas) is always and option
If the Mice end up destroying large amounts of plant based crops what will the vegans do?
look for mouse pie recipes on google?
This is great news, some animal protection groups can hide some of the mice in their homes, mouse heaven, "Silence of the Mice"
served with fava beans and a nice Chianti!
Yes there are ass 🕳⛳ha ha 😂😄😆😉😅😀😂
I haven't told my cats about this yet cause I don't want to get them excited
House cats are a big problem as well. They're not native and they kill the native birds.
My 2 Jack Russell's eagerly await their arrival.
Those mice are taking the Mickey......
The cicadas are back, the rats are here, the people still wearing the face mask, the end is near.
People unsure of their gender, whether straight or queer.
A good time to adopt a cat or will a snake plague follow
didn't they have a cat problem?
They'll eat your cat! There's so many of them!
@@chinookh4713 The cat problem is feral cats away from human areas decimating the indigenous animals.
@@JamesP29 adopt 2 cats, I just adopted one indoor cat, opened the door within 2 seconds a rat was dead, then later on ran up a 3m fence and just missed out
What about owls? They kill rats and snakes and work at night and keep themselves aside. Thereafter you can shoot them.
Did you kill all those wild cats that would have wiped out the plaque of mice?
Yes! They are killing native species and our birds.
They should have gone with meowdolf kitlers last solution to the mice problem.
@@UserBeenBanned you are great 😂
I would burn them with a flamethrower to begin with!
I have got 2 cats because of mice, which sometimes catch a mouse here in the Netherlands aswell.
This plague would be like a party to the cat 😜
The balance in nature is gone..
Bring in the fox terriers!
Yes certainly they did. I saw in you tube they were shooting and collecting pelts of those feral cats. Beware of Hanta virus and bubonic plague.
In the south we thinking of:
*Mouse Burgers
*Mouse BBQ
*Mouse Stew
*Mouse on a stick
*Fried Mouse
the list goes on and on just think of the possibilities!
LOL. Mouse on a stick!!
With the Chinese delicatesse:
*Still living mouse on a stick
Charcoal em for cat food
They are vermin and carry disease...so yeah...go ahead and eat them..knock yourself out.
Sautee mouse
Mouse soup
Mouse crackers n cheese
Deep fried Mouse n chips
Shall we continue 🤣
You guys need to get in touch with mouse trap monday guy. Might have to make some industrial sized water traps. Something that can handle 20,000 in a night.
Yeah, several 55 gallon drums with that yellow tippy lid thing large enough for a 55gl drum.
No, Joseph Carter the Mink Man, and his pack of dogs that kills rats and mice!
@@noneyun9943 lol he's gonna need a f**k load of minks and dogs I think the mouse traps is easier XD
@@noneyun9943 his dog died it was hit by a car
@@noneyun9943 he is in America. Australia would not authorize him to bring his animals
Insanity! Let go of a thousand cats 🤣
Then the cats will multiply and swarm, so there will have to be a release of dogs, etc; The progression of released animals to deal with previously released animals might look like this:
🐭▶🐱▶🐺▶🐶▶🐔▶🐒▶🎅▶🐧▶🐯▶👻.
Ultimately, I think the ghosts would be the end. Too bad they aren't interested in mice.
The released cats can be sterilized. You won't get the huge cat population from it.
Cats actually get bored of mice after a period of time.
Jack Russel dogs and the like are the best to use.
@Esmè Keaton The logical choice between monkeys and penguins.
@@squiggymcsquig6170 love it
Where are their natural predators?
Overrun. Way too many mice for the owls, fox, dingos, and snakes. They can eat off of the infestation yes, but they cannot eat that many.
This is why feral cats are useful
I realise that most people are not aware of this but Australia is a country which has been suffering floods fire and pestilance for millions of years and will continue to do so
If you are not happy about this situation I suggest you leave
borders closed u cant get in or out of the country
Someone look up the Hamelin phone book for the number of the Pied Piper. Maybe he could help out.
I had no idea mice had a foul odor, until we caught a couple in a trap and put their corpses in a plastic bag to go in the trash. When we caught a third one a couple hours later, I opened the bag to deposit it with the others. The STENCH that arose from that bag made me sick. I could not believe how foul those rodents smelled. I will never forget it. I can't imagine thousands of them running around.
Not to forget the diseases they can carry as well.
You smelled death, not the smell of mice. Being enclosed in a bag would have increased the rate of decomposition and the gasses produced built up until you opened the bag again.
@@RoboticPope I was going to stipulate that the bag was placed on the floor of a cool garage, and the bag wasn't tied shut, so they really hadn't had a chance to start to rot. I know what decomposition smells like, having grown up on a farm. This wasn't it. It was just an odor of filth and mouse droppings.
When I was there during the big one in the 80's it was summer heat which killed them off. There is still a winter to go through yet.
They don't do well in winter either. I'll be ready for them with my armada of cats wearing mouse trap armour.
I don't think what Australians call winter is going to bother mice in an agricultural setting. Summer with need for limited water will be harder on them. Some poisons work based on creating deadly thirst.
Now THIS is real news.
Just get a couple of those youtubers with pellet rifles down there. No problem.
Would be nice if the government lift the ban on gel blasters.
Only criminals carry guns in Aust.
Yeah license some people to hunt them with .177 pellet rifles.
Isn’t there some sound device that helps the mice to stay away? Sonar? Just thinking out loud (calm down) thinking for the farmers, they need more than just baiting, I’m not scared of a mouse? But I’ve seen the footage.. especially thinking to help keep the mice out of farmers homes :(
it only works for a few months, the mice get used to the sound and it doesn't bother them anymore. Plus it only works in a small area. This mouse outbreak wouldn't be a problem if the government wasn't obsessed with killing off wild dogs.
Fair enough if it's private farmland, but on crown land the dogs should be free to roam, yes they pose risks but they've been an important part of the ecosystem for thousands of years at this stage.
@@louiscypher4186 damn.. I thought at least maybe relief for bedrooms if they had one :(

We're just now seeing our 17 year cicadas emerge to harass us this summer in the midwest US. Nothing like all those mice. I hope it will not be as bad as it looks.
I much rather have the cicadas than mice
It will be worse, guaranteed.
@@periwinklesjourney4150 I agree!
What is a cicada?
@@catamazing5631 it is a ugly bug that makes a screech noise with its wing. We use to call them jar flys when we were kids.
Yikes! Not good!
Signs of the last days, repent.
Well going by your metrics, the last days happened multiple times last century. Are you part of a doomsday cult? If so, don't drink the coolaid, trust me.
You said the same thing in Pompeii ... But THIS time you really mean it? 🤷♂️
You guys should bring in cane toads to get rid of the mice! Worked well last time 😂
🤣🤣
Then you’ll have too many of them after a while. Not a good thing to do.
I think they were taking the piss Jackie. The introduction of Cane Toads into Australia has proven to be an ecological disaster.
@@joba4848 Any introduction of foreign animals is never good.
Feral cats are the worse idea. Anyone ever meet a cat ladly? My daughter is one. They use to come into her feeding station about once a night. The rest of the time they sleep somewhere or eat. They eat the birds, toads, snakes etc. PETA endorses a program called Catch and Release where they neuter the female cats and the put them back where they were found. The Toms fight. They have missing teeth, ulcers, eye inflammations, mouth sores, fungus and huge hair balls. Such a nice life right?
PETA won't ever kill a cat. I have seen my daughter and her cat groupies pick up one called Hizzy who wheezed so badly. She had a stick caught in her throat for God knows how long. The vet charged $900 but Hizzy got better. OMG
And to think I've heard some idiots attempting to blame the shooting of feral cats for the Mouse plague.😂😅
Theres more than enough snakes in Australia but even they can't keep up.
@@eastbow6053 Many factors like favourable weather conditions and bumper crops cause animal plagues. Australia periodically has Kangaroo, rabbit and mouse plagues.
Feral Cats have a minimal impact on mouse numbers. Feral cats and foxes are devastating on our small highly endangered native marsupials like Bilbys, Quolls etc who have no defence against these highly efficient predators.
@UCm_iBf39IEhe533U0Ohcmdw Forgot to add Australia must exterminate feral animals like Foxes, Cats and Dog's to save our native animals and birds.
Common sense is too tough for some, I see. #Karma
Horrific.
Can't wait for the PETA photo shoot of a scantily clad model posing with the mice.
Before we got cats, we used to have a mouse problem but nothing like that lol.
Lucas, my cats are afraid of mice I kid you not!.
Mouse lives matter!
If they get to Sydney, I hope they make a bee-line straight for PETA headquarters!
The look on Cory Bernardi's face is priceless, he's obviously thinking along the lines of "what on earth has this woman been smoking?"
Probably reached Sydney already but not in huge numbers yet
Meanwhile, in the eastern US, the fully-predictable outbreak of 17-year periodical cicadas is beginning. Some people are grossed out by this, but I'm sure the people in NSW would GLADLY exchange a plague of mice for the natural appearance of a bunch of harmless cicadas!
Don’t you guys have tons of poisonous snakes? Sure they’re happy as Larry with this lol
Yes but their very fussy eaters
Get every cat in every animal shelter around the world and send them to Australia.
Amazing land NSW
Another news footage howed the landscape and it looks gorgeous.
Where is a pied piper when you need one. May sound a bit off but technologically, could there be a possible sonic element to the control if not cure, to the problem?
I think an electrified fine mesh would be the best option to fight these mice. Lay it out around the perimeter. High voltage, instant kill.
Need PETA approval.
Here's how I keep mice under control. 🐈
Why can't you just get a bunch of cats? Natural solutions. Also out of all of the insane wildlife on your continent I didn't expect it to be rats that overthrow you.
Definitely some serous problems! The best solution seems to be simply poison Peta. Sorry, I meant the mice...
Release The CATS !!
I’m from the USA. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. Oh my God I feel so sorry for the forms and the people that have to live with this. So devastating. Good luck and I hope it in soon. There just destroying everything.
and it came after bumper crops a rain
droughts broken now mice
Thank goodness for the rest of us, Australia is an island. We have a couple chickens and firewood pile. Just that causes non stop hunting of mice. Keeping up means killing a couple per week and never really noticing them. Can't imagine how they are ever going to clear this up in agricultural communities.
Lock down the trucks for a two week quarantine ...we know that works Lol
Suggestion: every farmer afflicted by mouse plague please deliver two 5 gal containers full of live mice to PETA... That ought to be fun. They can adopt all the mice they want. Lovely.
Wouldn't be surprised, a truck turned up to my previous employers warehouse and maybe 50 mice jumped out of back as they opened the doors.
Those weren't mice, those were Victorians bro.

2021: "I'm just getting started."
" Could spread to Sydney " but it's not going to . Well not in the plague numbers you see in the wheat belt anyway . There has been several mouse plagues on the slopes in the past and they never made it across the mountains to any great degree . Some semi rural outskirts and the Mid to Upper Hunter Valley will see some increase but don't have the food resources that the wheat belt has to breed and sustain such large numbers . Some increase in baiting will be required in some places but Sydney will not be overrun .
Luckily, Australia is already experienced with having a war with animals. Granted, emus and Mice are a bit different, but good luck to you guys.
We lost that emu war unfortunately.
Remember don't hurt the cute little creatures just catch them and release them some where else, and create a plague some where else, that really makes sense
Almost like you got rid of too many cats
Maybe they can dig a big deep pit with wall where mice couldn't climb back up. Then the next day burn. Refill and burn🤷
What caused this? Did Australia ban pesticides at one point?
How do they know when the mice will reach Sydney since they wouldn't know which day of the week it is
Taipans & brown snakes will LOVE it.
Doesn't the bait also kill the predators that would normally keep mouse populations in check?
I've heard of lotus plagues but a Mouse plague? Whats going on down there! In a city you have this problem but in the country side?
I can foresee the housing prices dumbling this year in Sydney
When life gives you lemons..sorry, mice, make cat food.
I don't know why Sydney people should be worried about a few pesky rodents. Aleesha Naxakis will relocate the billion mice at her house. It will halve her heating bill.
Just a normal day in Sidney mate
Import a couple million cats. Then after that, import a couple million hawks. If you want to then get rid of the hawks, install a bunch of wind turbines. The greenies will love it.
all ya need is 1million chickens to sort it.
Why are you giving peta a platform?
That is horrible. What natural predators in Aussie have they got. Where are they from originally?
Owls, snakes, fox, dingos - but it’s wayyy to many mice for the natural predators. If I put a whole cow on the barbie and bring to your dinner table you won’t even make a dent in it.
Snakes will eat mice, but it's the sheer number of mice that is the problem. Cats and Dogs will kill them and so will birds of prey, but they will make only a tiny dent in this plague. My idea is some sort of acoustic weapon for farm applications. A sound that deters the mice and also combined with mice proof structures and grain storage. As with any sort of "war", a multi spectrum approach is needed. If the mice reach Sydney, people need to actively bait, trap and dispose of these mice. I do that on my property. I'm constantly active, so that numbers never rise.
@@Originalman144 trying to think a multi attack idea. Maybe sonar, bait, traps what else though?
@@Originalman144 wait how many @peta people are there? They don’t want us to kill them, it’s apparently easy peasy... so (like when they rehome animals from small cattle farmers) will they save the mice from regional nsw to rehome them all? If so prob solved. Cmon peta come take our 100s of millions of mice, feed them, and enjoy the smell. You rehome them? We won’t kill them? @PETA
And these are Grain/wheat Farmers not animal farmers. so peta get your vegan friends along to help.
This is so awful. Besides eating all the food, I've not heard anyone mention diseases mice spread. The mice need to be killed ASAP.
I guess you're missing those feral cats you killed off right about now...
Pied Piper of Hamelin call him not pita
I thought Australia had an abundance of feral cats 🤷♂️
I thought we did in the Netherlands aswell, but you can sell a regular cat here for 100-150 euro's...
Times are insane
Now in Canberra too.
Always been there, either a political mouse or a rat.
So what about the animals that eat the mice after they've been poisoned
I can tell you that I would use a FLAMETHROWER! 🔥
Would you,....
Let them do what the people Paris during the plague--Eat them!
perfect metaphor
How can you live through that. I couldn't handle it
Oh my GOD, the poor mice being forced so close to all those gross Sydney cockroaches.
Austrlia doesn't really have a good track history with wars against animals. So does this mean the mice are allied with the Great Emu Empire?
No offense but this seems like a preventable issue. As with the roo culls.
In Aust. we wait until a situation is at crisis point before a limp wristed stop gap measure is suggested.
I HAVE THE SOLUTION!!! I HAVE FIGURED IT OUT!!! ( a crowd gathering around me, murmuring to themselves, anxiously waiting ) ( I stand before the crowd and demand ) WE WILL RELEASE 100,000 HOUSE CATS INTO THE STREETS!!! ( Crowd roaring with cheerful praise,
WHY is this hysterical person from PETA even given any public exposure at all !! You may as well ask a ten year old what we should do.
Just wait. In a few months, she'll be a sobbing mess when the mice invade every nook and cranny of her house and every aspect of life once they reach Sydney.
when she no longer has any food, I wonder if her attitude will change
So that cat removal initiative backfiring?
that is so disgusting... even the snakes are fleeing...
Watching this before going to bed. Not looking forward to the nightmares.
What happened to the mouse predators?
