This reminds me of the last stage of a mouse plague. Once you see half eaten dead mice lying around you know it's almost done.

it confused me for a moment whether mice plagues are so common I should be disappointed I hadn’t seen one before

Haha. If you'd grown up on a farm (like i did) chances are you'd seen a couple. We didn't grow crops so I only saw a couple and i only really remembered one well.

Friends who grew up on farms which grew crops saw more.

They are quite a thing to behold.

But the negatives outweigh the interesting parts massively. Remember this is firstly many many thousands of mice, in s relatively small space chewing everything (so you have to repair a bunch of stuff) and then dying in their thousands so the place stinks until you clean them all out (not easy when they die inside the walls of buildings)
