Australia is hit by 'biblical' rodent plague: Millions of mice and rats invade rural towns with one supermarket catching 500 a NIGHT, hospital patients bitten and fears poisoned carcasses could infect drinking water
Swathes of mice (left) are infesting towns in New South Wales (NSW) and southern Queensland in Australia after the country was hit with heavy summer rains following years of drought. One resident, Lisa Gore, from Toowoomba, said her friend had found a nest of baby mice in her armchair while shopkeeper Naav Singh said he was now arriving to his store five hours before opening to clean up after the mice and sweep their droppings. This month Melanie Moeris, from Gilgandra, also shared images of hundreds of mice scurrying over machinery on her family's farm in Gilgandra (top and bottom right). The shocking scenes come after three hospital patients were bitten by the creatures at facilities in Tottenham, Walgett and Gulargambone, NSW Health confirmed.
Thousands of spiders have inundated a family's fence and backyard in an attempt to seek refuge and escape the New South Wales floods. The arachnids swarmed Matt Lovenfosse's property in Kinchela Creek, on the state's mid-north coast, after heavy rain hit the region over the last week. Mr Lovenfosse, his fiancee Jessy and two daughters stood next to the spider-infested fence as they appeared on the Today show on Wednesday morning.
