Rat Plague hit Australia some time recently. Not only destroying agricultural fields, these rats also bite cables to humans and cause house fire incidents.
As reported by The Guardian and Reuters, Sunday (05/30/2021) Australians, especially in New South Wales often find these rats all over the house, on furniture, ceilings, trash cans, classrooms, and even in the bathroom. hospital.
The plague of rats makes residents do new and troublesome activities. The shopkeepers set traps and drowned the mice they caught. There are also those who have to regularly burn dead rats in their backyard.
The NSW government has approved emergency measures to allow the use of the world’s deadliest rat poison. It is not known for sure when the epidemic will end because these rats only breed, decline, then breed again.
One of the farmers who are also fighting against the rat plague is Kodi Brady. Over the past few months he has regularly cleaned up dead rats at his farm in Coonabarabran, about 490 kilometers (304.5 miles) northwest of Sydney.
The farmer took hundreds of dead rats which he managed to drown in buckets or poison.
“It does have a huge impact on your mental health. I don’t sleep because I’m paranoid, you know, you can hear it on your walls and on your roof,” says Brady.
Meanwhile, many farmers have been forced to burn hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of hay and grain, which are now poisoned by the rat plague.
