Irregular plagues of house mice cause high production losses in grain crops in Australia. If plagues can be forecast through broad-scale monitoring or model-based prediction, then mice can be proactively controlled by poison baiting. Aims. To predict mouse plagues in grain crops in Queensland and assess the value of broad-scale monitoring. Key results. On the regularly trapped 32-km transect on the Darling Downs, damaging mouse densities occur in 50% of Conclusion. Early warning of mouse plague formation in Queensland grain crops from regional models should trigger
