EP Mice Activity | MouseAlert Reporting App available
MouseAlert available for monitoring and recording mice activity
With increased mouse activity being reported across parts of the Eyre Peninsula, now is a good time to start observing and recording activity in your paddocks.
The free MouseAlert app can help farmers and neighbouring landholders to decide when it is the best time to undertake control, to achieve the most cost-effective outcomes from control. The more information recorded, the more useful MouseAlert will become for detecting changes in mouse activity across your region, which can help predict and prepare for plague events.
To date, 3,244 records have been uploaded to MouseAlert, with 139 recently added. From the notifications, a heatmap is generated to show hotspots of mouse activity.
What to record
- Mouse activity in paddocks, crops, and grain storage
- Photos of the damage they cause
- Notes about any recent changes to mouse activity, such as Numbers are rising.
