MAY 28, 2011-Mice Eat Pigs-When South Australian farmer John Gregory entered his piggery he could not believe what he saw – mice attacking his pigs. Since he first saw them dining out on his prized stock he has been at his wit’s end about how to get rid of them. Now, as a desperate last resort, he is covering his pigs at a farm property in Wynarka, 130km east of Adelaide, in engine oil to protect them from the mice, with the rodents apparently turned off by the taste. “The mouse problem got really bad in April,” Mr. Gregory said. “We went away in the school holidays and when we came back we drove up the driveway and it looked like the ground was moving – there were hundreds of thousands of them.” Mr. Gregory, 50, said he put engine oil on his 15 pigs to protect them from the sun about once a month.

Mice will eat just about anything, we had an unseasonably wet summer and mice started coming indoors, those that didn't my cat invited, they ate through the wiring in the washing machine (had to buy a new one) paper, and a metal tube of paw paw ointment to mention a few things, I can't afford to leave anything out including potatoes etc, which are now stuffed in the fridge but the problem has subsided, thanks largely to the weather and a neighbor removing poultry pellets from his shed which were another attraction

Ed where did you dig this article from, it is roughly 30 years old when we had a mice plague, i remember the pig thing, the mice were nibbling their legs whilst asleep, mice everywhere, even the cats were bored with them, roads were made dangerous because of the slippery conditons of thousands of dead mice, eventually they dwindled as fast as they came, now we are being invaded for the last few years by Millipedes from Sth. Africa.
