Summary
Australië kampt met een ernstige muizenplaag, met tot 8.000 muizen per hectare in sommige gebieden. De plaag treft vooral landbouwers, die veel tijd en geld moeten investeren in bestrijding. De overheid heeft tijdelijk het gebruik van muizenvergif met een dubbele dosis toegestaan om de situatie onder controle te krijgen. Bewoners melden dat muizen overal aanwezig zijn: in huizen, auto's, schuren, weilanden en zelfs op scholen.
