Mouse plague hell as Australians ‘tie string around trouser legs’ to stop disease-carrying rodents scu... - The Sun

The country has been gripped by a plague of mice - the worst outbreak in more than 30 years.

CSIRO mouse expert Steve Henry told VICE News: "People are literally tying strings around their trousers if they're walking through mice because they don't want them running up their trouser legs.".

An Australian farmer has compared the mouse plague to "trying to control Covid on a cruise ship".

Mick Harris' 2,500-acre farm in New South Wales is one of thousands being deluged by mice in the worst scourge in living memory.
