2 The Invasion On January 10, 1927, the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California received the following message from the town of Taft in Kern County, California: Talk about 'nothing new under the sun.' Well there is. The highway between Panama and Taft is literally plastered with dead mice, and millions of them alive chasing across the highway; it's sickening. The mice were house mice (Mus musculus), and the latest outbreak followed two others that began in November, The affected area was about seventeen miles in diameter and centered on the dry bed of Buena Vista Lake. The area north and south of the lake were reported as barren hills with little human habitation. West of the lake there were small towns and camps, and east of the lake and in the lakebed itself, the land was cultivated in barley, wheat, corn and cotton. The crops were thought to provide food and shelter for the mice, but after the autumn harvest and sheep grazing, little food and shelter remained and the mice began a radial migration from the lakebed. From population estimates: the number of mice was almost unbelievable. Hundreds of mice could be seen at any given time. In the more dense areas were 17 mice per square yard, and projecting this was 82,280 mice per acre or 2468 pounds of mice per acre. About 15% of the mice were the much larger meadow mice (Microtus californicus), and they were mostly in overcrowded burrows whereas the house mice were virtually everywhere. People in the nearby towns were interrupted in their sleep by mice scurrying across their bedding, and in the mornings mice were frequently in clothing and shoes. The major highway was slushy with dead mice and the stench arising from the voided body excrements is highly offensive and nauseates many persons. The farmers and businesses in the area spread poisons and in one barn and two tons of mice were killed on one day. On January 15, 1927 a headline in the Los Angeles Times stated: An Army of Field Mice Kill and Eat Sheep at Taft. The story concerned one unlucky sheep that was confined to a pen and unable to escape. Beyond the emotional stress on the residents of Kern Country, the actual damage that the mice were seen to do included the destruction of quantities of stored grain; the reduction of large stacks of hay; the destruction of foodstuffs, clothing, bedding, linen, etc., in houses; and the gnawing of holes through the floors and walls of frame buildings. The estimated damages in 1926 after harvest was approximately 10,000 sacks of barley, more than 10,000 sacks of milo corn, and an even greater amount of feed corn. The value of agricultural crops lost was estimated at $125,000 and the other damages such as the destruction of stores, horse feed material, clothing, etc. was around $21,000 in 2003 dollars. The campaign to eradicate the mice went into high gear on January 22 when Stanley Piper from the U.S. Biological Survey arrived to map out a plan of battle against what he estimated to be more than 100 million mice (2000/acre). Eschewing the flute approach used by the Pied Piper of Hamelin, this Piper had a crew of twenty-five men who laced forty tons of alfalfa with strychnine. By the end of February they declared success in what was labeled the worst rodent infestation in U.S. history.
