The New South Wales (NSW) government has secured 5,000 litres of bromadiolone, one of the world’s strongest pesticides against rodents, as part of a $50 million (US$38.8 million) “mouse trap” package to help farmers combat the ongoing mouse plague.
The chemical, which has been banned from outdoor usage since 2017, is currently awaiting approval from the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) before it is distributed to farmers.
