Title: Australia: Millions of Mice Attack
Post by: TehBorken on Jan 30 07 07:20
Wow, this is creepy: Some genuinely freaky home video captured the world's worst mouse plague, which happened in southern Australia in 1993. Millions and millions of mice, pouring out of doors, windows, everywhere.

what is amazing is that they all apparently disappeared just as quickly as they appeared and nobody knows why. i seen this on some discovery channel show one time.

I think strychnine may have been a big contibuter to their disappearance.  It was one of the largest poison attacks for this type of infestation ever.

Oh yeah. Old news to me. Each year, some farms in Ozland is plagued by millions and millions of mice. The farmers can't do anything but watch helplessly as these critters take over everything literally. Kinda scary.

  That's what you get for introducing these vermins from Europe when the first ship arrived and there's no native predators.

oh thats nothing, down on the farm there are rats in the barn and they are HUGE! And can scare the living day lights out of yeah at night when you're walking in the shed without the light on.

Although I remember when I was little the cycadas were bad really bad. They were everywhere.
