Mouse Plague Update 2011

In the last few days (mid-September 2011) we have been advised that the emergency permit for on-farm bait mixing has been cancelled, and that some or all of the production sites have been discontinued. Information behind this has been scant but the responsible authority, the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines authority, has posted a comment regarding concerns about operator safety and other matters of concern to them.

For more information about the current state of bait availability please see: Mouse Alert 15 September 2011 at http://www.animalcontrol.com.au/news/2011/News/2011/20110919-1.htm

The Autumn 2011 Australian mouse plague has eased momentarily as we settle in for winter and pending winter crop development into spring. Animal Control Technologies Australia Pty Ltd (ACTA) is taking this short opportunity to discuss the past season, and caution growers and industry on control efforts that will be required in the coming months.
