“Mice live everywhere humans do, and most of the time go undetected,” he said. Henry said it was more likely that new mouse sightings in urban areas were due to local populations growing. “Mice can move 100 metres from their nest or burrow to forage, but they will return at the end of the night.” “Mice are not migratory animals,” he said. The CSIRO researcher and mouse expert Steve Henry told Guardian Australia it was unlikely that the mice were marching on Sydney because they usually do not move far from their nests. So will there be a mouse attack on Sydney? The map shows very few sightings with “high” activity in agricultural areas approaching the east coast, suggesting a coordinated assault on Sydney or other large cities is unlikely.
The associated MouseAlert website and app, run by the NSW government and the CSIRO, provides a platform for grain producers and farmers to report mouse sightings with the aim of making it easier to monitor mouse activity in almost real time. This report in March showed “moderate to high mouse activity in many regions of southern Queensland northern, central and southern NSW north-western Victoria and parts of South Australia”. The most recent mouse monitoring report from the CSIRO and Grains Research and Development Corporation measures mouse activity based on monitoring sites around Australia. It quoted Dieter Mafra, a “mouse technician” from Kevin Joyce Pest Management, who said the mice could enter cities “as they hitch rides on trucks and food pallets”. I will be deserting the human side immediately and throwing my lot in with the mice - Naaman Zhou May 20, 2021Īccording to the Channel 10 report, the mice could “invade Sydney by August”. It appears that the mice have reached a level of military organisation and tactical nous akin to Hannibal at Cannae.
