Minister for Agriculture Adam Marshall has reminded local households and small businesses impacted by the mice plague that they can claim rebates for costs associated with managing the vermin by visiting the Service NSW website.
Rebates have been made available through the state government’s $150 million Mouse Control Program.
Eligible customers can make a claim for the household or small business rebate by going to the Service NSW website and uploading their receipts for mouse bait purchases dating back to February 1, 2021.
“Eligible households can now claim up to $500 and small businesses, including primary producers, can claim up to $1000 to help meet the cost of mouse baits, traps and cleaning materials bought after February 1, 2021.
“I encourage local households and small businesses to apply for the rebate, keeping in mind that it can only be claimed once, so best to lodge your claim when you have spent close to the maximum available amount.
“Claiming the rebate is a simple process and the quickest way to do it is by visiting the Service NSW website when you are ready to make a claim and upload your receipts, which can be quickly completed in a matter of minutes.”
Mr Marshall said primary producers who lived where they worked could claim a single rebate of up to $1000 to help meet the cost of protecting their homes from mice.
