Rodent invaders: a massive invasion of mice in Australia causes horror
Footage, like from horror films, can be seen now in Australia. The territory of the state of New South Wales is crowded with millions of rodents that scurry from Brisbane to Melbourne. An invasion of mice is spreading across the south of the Green Continent, and experts are concerned that an invasion of an army of snakes may follow. Rodent infestations have been here before, but this year the situation has become critical.

Millions of mice have invaded New South Wales. It's not typical for them to leave the food sources and head to the cities, but this time everything has changed. The rodents destroyed some of the farmland and moved on.
Scientists worry that the hordes of mice will be replaced by snakes, which do not spoil the harvest, but pose a much greater danger to people. In Australia, there are about 100 species of venomous snakes, the bite of which can be fatal.
Mice infested homes, schools, and hospitals. Thanks to favorable weather conditions, a record crop is being harvested in Australia this year, which has caused a sharp jump in the number of rodents.
Farmers say they are sometimes forced to burn down outbuildings and even houses to destroy the mice that gnaw everything around them. The pests disrupted the operation of 44 telecommunications towers and forced the closure of several government offices in the region.
Residents of New South Wales say that mice have taken over their homes. Rodents scurry around the rooms and make their way to all corners. Experts warn that if this attack is not stopped now, it can last for several years.
Photos and videos from Australia showing hundreds of dead and living rodents have spread on social media, shocking the world. Local residents complain that the state does not provide sufficient assistance in a critical situation. In order to somehow stop the invasion of mice, the state authorities allocated 5,000 liters of the highly potent poison bromadiolone for the fight against rodents.
At the same time, environmentalists are concerned that the poison that kills the mice persists in their corpses and poses a deadly danger to rodent-eating predators.
A huge army of pests is now heading for Sydney. People tell creepy stories about mice biting them while they sleep in bed. If this attack is not stopped, then in August the rodents will be able to fill the capital of Australia.
Mice devour everything around them, but their omnivorous nature played an important role during the Second World War. They say that it was the rodents that helped defeat the Red Army of the Germans in the battles for Stalingrad.
