Development of second stage of MOUSER, a Decision Support System (DSS) and information transfer system for mouse plague management

This project incorporated an economics model into the existing MOUSER decision support system (DSS) based on results from previous and current BRS-supported mouse management demonstration projects. The DSS will help government agencies and landholders in irrigated and dryland agricultural areas to make more informed decisions about proactive and reactive mouse plague management.

Demonstration of best practice techniques for mouse control in irrigated summer crops in southern NSW

High mouse numbers occur more frequently in irrigated grain-growing areas due to the constant availability of food. This project assessed a range of techniques that may reduce the incidence of high mouse numbers and subsequent damage in these areas.
