1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Jump mission with Jonesy and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: We'll seeing those horrendous images of the mouse plague in

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 2: regional New South Wales. Mouse mice raining from the sky

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: out of silo's mouse poo, contaminating the grains, has to

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 2: be destroyed. Houses that the electrics go because of the mice.

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 2: You see the house that caught on fire because of them.

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 2: They're living in people's fridges, They're living in the doors

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: of their cars.

9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: Are they heading to Sydney?

10
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: That's what we've been hearing, So we thought we chat

11
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: to a mouse expert, Dita Mafra, a pest hunter, to

12
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: tell us what we can prepare for and what we

13
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: should be doing with our houses.

14
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 1: Dita, hello, good, very well, well, is.

15
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: It inevitable that this plague will make its way to Sydney.

16
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 3: I've come down like gradually. It's not going to be

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 3: like a massive plague like Inca. How it is in

18
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: the regional areas of New South Wales. But all our

19
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: test controls are here in city well pretty much there

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: to sort of attack these little critters.

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 2: And what do we sort of getting in the pest

22
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: exterminator And we'll get to that in a second.

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: Is to the role that you play. What can we

24
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: do to fortify our homes?

25
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 3: So basically you need to obviously block any holes like wheepholes.

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: If you've got like a supple area like unerneath the house,

27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: you need to block all that off. Jenne it. I'll

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 3: creep in into your cavities and roof weights where there's

29
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 3: a lot of insulation where they can actually sort of

30
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: camp over a few days, a few weeks, so to speak,

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: and they make a help of the rattle earlier of

32
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 3: the morning.

33
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: So plug up the holes in your house, plug up your.

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 3: Cavities, the cavities, mate, Yeah, that's it.

35
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: And once they're in your house, say they're in your

36
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: cupboards or say that whatever, what do you do?

37
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: So basically you can actually use like physical traps like

38
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 3: snap traps or chemical non chemical methods. You actually use

39
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 3: baits there as well. Once they get in, people sort

40
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: of tend the panic goes generally take off and jump

41
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: out of the house and run run off and then

42
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 3: they call the old press controller. Yeah.

43
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 4: Well, what I've known learned from water bro the cartoon

44
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 4: is what happens is the woman will get up on

45
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 4: a chair and dance around and you just see that

46
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 4: that that's pretty much what happens.

47
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: No, pretty much, rattle mate, that's correct.

48
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 4: That's it. That's what. That's what. That's how I've learned

49
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 4: all my stuff. What about this idea of getting a

50
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 4: kitchen tidy bin and then you put water in the

51
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 4: bin and it's going as the flip top things, and

52
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 4: you put peanut butter on the lid, and then the

53
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 4: mouse goes up, gets on the lid, falls into the

54
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 4: water and drowns.

55
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: Oh nice, And you have to face that.

56
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: You can also use the teller as well, mate, So

57
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 3: that pretty good as well. They'll worry about the old

58
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: cheese the old cheese tree, yeah, because.

59
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 4: They don't like cheese as much as the other stuff. Apparently.

60
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: No, they'll prefer chocolate if you've got chocolate close by

61
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 3: peanut butter, like how you're saying, and the teller, that

62
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: works out pretty well.

63
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: And then you have to deal with the carcasses. What

64
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: do you do with that?

65
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, basically, yeah, you need to put that in you

66
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: in your bid so to speak, you just dispose of it.

67
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 3: But obviously use gloves if you're going to you know,

68
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 3: sure you're going to sort of use that. But yeah,

69
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 3: I'll be yeah, I'll be just using us your neighbor.

70
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 3: Just call your neighbor over and you'll be right and died.

71
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: What about if you're worried about having chemicals and stuff

72
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: in your house, does it necessarily with you guys come in?

73
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: Does that involve chemistry?

74
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we actually we can use like chemical products

75
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: rodenticize we can. We can also remove the actual carcass

76
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: spot from your root. Boys, I find anything like you know,

77
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 3: that's anything on the exterior of the actual property as well.

78
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: So we can actually physically really do that.

79
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: But if if you've got other pets and stuff like

80
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: that in your worry, you don't sort of want chemicals

81
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: lying around the place, and can it be safe?

82
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: It can be safe still. So another good option is

83
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: like that the pet suit outside, so you know, over

84
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 3: nighttime pets can sort of rooness. You can actually get

85
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: to the actual uh pet food. So if you can

86
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 3: actually minimize that, just bring the food back inside of

87
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 3: the night time and I've just sort of minimized more

88
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: test activity coming into the actual house itself.

89
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 4: This is all good stuff. Block your cavities, leave your

90
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 4: pet food inside. This is great DIETA thank you for
