How to stop a mouse plague

Australia faces recurring mouse plagues every 3–5 years, particularly in grain-producing regions like Western Australia and South Australia. The latest forecast predicted high mouse numbers, leading to outbreaks in areas such as Morawa and even suburban Perth. Mouse plagues cause significant economic and social disruption, including crop destruction and health concerns. Scientists and farmers are working to manage the infestations using traditional methods like traps and baits, while exploring advanced solutions such as gene-editing technologies. The plagues are linked to environmental factors and agricultural practices, though their exact causes remain unclear.
