Over the past few weeks you have probably seen images on the news and social media showing a plague of mice that has become the latest burden on our farmers and regional communities.

While it's easy for those of us in big cities to perceive this as a cute quirk of our unique landscape, it is no laughing matter for the millions of people living through this nightmare.

The Quicky speaks to an expert in mice populations and a grain farmer to find out why their numbers have suddenly exploded across Australia, and what it means to wake up every day surrounded by millions of scurrying rodents.
