Till they are lightly cooked.I wonder how often they are going to spray the stuff? Wouldn't it wash away every time it rains? (not that it rains that much in Adelaide)
Vampstoro, how are the mice being electrocuted?

Yeah, What a cash grab those were. LolA friend of the family bought solar powered snake repellers. They look like the cheap solar powered garden lights but supposedly admits ultrasound. I told him that you have been ripped off. After 12 months still regularly sighting browns and red bellied snakes in the yard.

I assume you can still use the meeces as feed items ?A mouse zapper,
It's a trap they walk into, and once they touch both the metal base plates, it zaps them.
Fantastically effective.
No mess, no maiming the mice and them suffering until you find them (like spring traps).
I found them when looking for a safer way to get mice around birds, now I couldn't imagine using anything else.
My first one was a cheapie from Kogan, that soon failed...was also stupidly large.
Current one was actually $30 from Bunnings in the big cheese brand and runs off of 4 AA batteries.
Fantastic things, and though it doesn't sound it, much nicer on the mice than alternitives

My understanding is it will be sprayed 3 or 4 times a year. Apparently they don't like the smell and will move/stay away from an area that has been sprayed. By applying the spray over several seasons its been suggested that it will 'train' the offspring to stay away too.
Not sure how effective it will be but at least I can measure it myself based on the activity we have had around the place the past few years.

Those things actually attract snakes according to some sources
Interesting PP, how long are they doing the trail for?
Edit: sounded accidentally critical and grumpy in original post. Don't approve of how I wrote
Have there been lab type trials on brown snakes to determine what are the best repellents to try in this field trial? I would be very interested to know about this even if they are just informal backyard experiments. The best paper I could find found no effect of clove oil on cobras (Naja naja), however other repellents did work.My understanding is that this will be going on for several years so its hoped that we see a decline in snake activity in the site which has been on the increase for several years.
Almost always involves brown snakes.
I used to do consultation for factories around the New England area of NSW where there are high populations of vens including, Browns, Red Bellied Blacks, Tigers, Copperheads Spotted Blacks and Mulgas. I've found the only real effective method for having any chance at keeping snakes out of yards is to construct a perimeter fence using overlapping horizontal sheets corrugated iron or colourbond up to 1.5 metres high and buried to 30cm around the entire boundary (just the same as snake pits). With access gates sheeting is applied to the gate down to the lowest level then snake wire is used between the bottom of the gate to ground level. In addition any debris, product, machinery etc should be stored on pallets or elevated to at least 30cm above ground level to eliminate refuge for both snakes and vermin.
