Thread: Virus

@headcase, I am hearing the odd report of it starting to kick in. Someone up a local valley here reported it smelt like death, 50 % lower numbers than normal.
It maybe slowly gathering pace, as for the farmers who stopped doing pest control they deserve to have a problem , pest control down here is part of a good farming practice.
Being lazy pricks and hoping to get bailed out again by a new virus is bloody slack. I wonder how many will have learn't from the original release that if you get a break and do nothing then you will never get them under control.
There are enough control methods out there now, as stated in my earlier post I have seen it first hand.
Be interesting to see when / if it kicks off in the Mackenzie, good luck mate.

thanks for the good wishes Viper, I should clarify bout not doing any control work.. round here the cockeys were told to stop doing control work so the virus would have a better chance. The logic escaped me and on the properties that I do we never stopped, just kept on going, but for the people that were doing something and then got told to stop for a while, the slow start or non start to the virus release is very irritating.. rubs them right up the wrong way..

Fully concur with you on those that over the years have done SFA and hoped for the best. They deserved a hurry up long ago and always will because of the poor perspective they have on controlling numbers.
