This is “squeaking” crazy.
Dozens of mice have flooded farms in Australia for a couple of months. This debacle has caused chaos, and the damage is estimated to cost over $100 million in Australian currency.
The issue has affected areas stretching over 1,000 kilometers along the eastern coast of the country.
Alex Laurie, a farmer in northeastern New South Wales, caught the action on camera. In the video, you can see dozens of mice pouring out of a piece of farming machinery after it had been turned on.
Laurie told 9 News that the video was shot after he left his grain bin.
“Came back this morning and found this,” he said.
Laurie explained how the mice messed up the planting on his farm.
The farmer mentioned how the mice had been hanging around for six months but that it was “only in the last couple weeks they’ve got really thick like this.” He added, “I don’t have a lot of experience with mice, I don’t think anybody our age does. This is the first mice plague we’ve had.”
