I have spent 22 years working on pest animal related projects, MouseAlert is a digital tool to help farmers monitor and report mouse activity on their farms.

[Graeme Sandral @gsandral]

There all well deserved, but I do think recognising Rick in this way was particularly appropriate. Congratulations Rick.

Ffs. Bit early for this you Little bastards.

[Steve Henry @MouseAlert]

@warralakin13 @andrewdunx Also there would also be issues associated with the bait being covered in moist soil. However burying it would reduce the chances of non target take.

[Steve Henry @MouseAlert]

@warralakin13 @andrewdunx I don’t think there has been any research done on burying bait. I have always worked on the theory that mice will take the food that is easy to find before taking the time and risk to dig for food under the soil.

Mouse plague in many parts of WA including this property near Mullewa… need some rain to get rid of them 🙏

[Lindsay Chappel @Headingforsixty]

Ben went back with the baiter. Be interesting to see this to me tomorrow night

[Lindsay Chappel @Headingforsixty]

I was doing a job on the boom spray in that exact same spot. The mice were just coming up to see what I was doing

[Dylan Hirsch @hirschirsch]

Bye bye lupins 🐭

[Geoff Cosgrove 🎗🇦🇺 @cosfarming]

A few that dodged the mice. Then the rest of the paddock got plucked before they got going. Never mind, the good folk at @APVMA have been collecting a wage for months whilst deliberating the merits of ZP50.

[Scott Bowman @S_M_Bowman]

Mouse 26. Learnt that after a fire if there’s any mice activity Kelly chain before seeding 😢

[Geoff Cosgrove 🎗🇦🇺 @cosfarming]

This is a paddock that we burnt 2 weeks ago. All the little mounds of dirt in the first picture are mouse holes. ZP50 permits please @APVMA

[Cameron Johnson @cameronjohno]

I’ll just leave another one here
Not the worst seen for the night but the only video I took.
@APVMA

[Geoff Cosgrove 🎗🇦🇺 @cosfarming]

@WheatWatcher It's not a potential mouse plague but an actual one here. ZP50 anyone? @apvma

[Coorow Ag @agrosmyth]

Burnt and sown to canola. 3 days later footage taken. Think the mice have a taste for canola seeds… 1kg of 25gai ain’t going to cut it here. Hoping it’s not a re seed...@APVMA @MouseAlert

[Leighton Wilksch @agbyte_leet]

Went for a fox hunt tonight. Established that there is a pretty high level of food for them in the paddocks. Like I was astounded to see the mice numbers.

[GRDC @theGRDC]

Mouse numbers are rising in parts of WA ahead of seeding.

Reports north of Geraldton show up to 40 burrows per 100 m² — well above the 2–3 burrows that signal concern.

Monitor paddocks now and prepare to bait at sowing if mice are present. @CSIRO @MouseAlert

Richard is a grain farmer who is not afraid to acknowledge the stressors that can come with farming—things like droughts, fluctuating commodity prices and even tariffs.
In this video, he shares a couple of his coping strategies.

👀 Check out this incredible thermal footage captured by @Warraboy last month, showing mice activity in sorghum crops & stubble near Warra, QLD 🐭

Ideal conditions have caused a surge in mice populations across cropping areas on the Darling Downs, southern QLD & northern NSW

We're urging all growers to inspect their paddocks & log local activity

@MouseAlert | @CSIRO

[Grain Producers Australia @GrainProducers]

ESCALATING mice numbers have been reported on cropping properties in QLD between January and April 2025 – after a big winter-crop harvest left more feed in paddocks.
