Ants are social insects that live in more or less permanent nests. In Australia about 3000 species of ants are known.
As well as general "nuisance" aspects, ants may present a health risk. There are known instances of ants carrying, on their bodies or in their digestive tract, disease organisms causing dysentery, smallpox and a variety of bacteria including salmonella. There are also species of ants that bite or sting humans.

The House Mouse is the most successful of the introduced rodents and is found throughout Australia. Apart from its nuisance value in urban areas, it is an economic problem in the grain industry. Plagues of mice erupt in the grain-belt approximately once every four years.
