The attempts of killing rodents are making them evolve at super speed.
Genetic mutation has produced a new breed of rodents called ‘super rats’ with DNA which protects the rodent from standard toxins. Rats can, therefore, withstand the poison meant to kill them.
They are larger than average rodents which are sometimes even bigger than cats.
Some local authorities have reported a 10 percent increase in rodent numbers since last year.
The animals are known for carrying diseases that can be dangerous to humans and are becoming increasingly resistant to poison.

MONSTER ‘SUPER RATS’ IMMUNE TO POISON TAKE OVER CITIES WITH MUTANT GENE TO BLAME
Cities across the US are struggling to fight back waves of super rats that are continuing to spread despite pest controllers dunking poison in a bid to cut down their numbers
By Anders Anglesev

Mutant rats are taking over cities in the US thanks to a gene that has made them immune to many vermin poisons.
The mutated vermin are said to be larger than average and have become resistant to toxic poisons used in poorly-thought-through pest control plans.
These super rodents then go on to breed more baby rats that inherit the immunity, according to a University of Richmond professor.
Dr Jonathan Richardson said the rats that survived the onslaught from the poisons made them more “fit” and capable to take over cities such as New York and Chicago.
He added: “If only the fittest rats make it through the control campaign, the survivors may be even better adapted to take advantage of the high-resource minefield of modern cities, leaving a new population of ‘super rats to breed and repopulate.
“These beneficial gene variants have been observed in some natural populations of rats regularly exposed to poison.”
Horrifying pics show biggest ever ‘super rats’ caught on camera in Britain
With the rat population set to explode over the coming summer months, it’s worth taking a look at some of the most monstrously huge rodents found in Britain in recent years.
Rats are present all year round, but their population levels spike in summer due to food being more plentiful and the weather being hot so they don’t have to spend energy keeping warm.
Abnormally large rats that are immune to over-the-counter rat poison have been dubbed “super rats”, and often only professional pest controllers can get rid of them.
Some of the rats that have been discovered in bins, ceilings and gardens around the UK have defied even those measurements.
SUN CITY PEST MANAGEMENT SAYS “SUPER RATS” ARE RESISTANT TO RODENTICIDE
New hotspots of rats that are resistant to anticoagulant rodenticides have been identified by Sun City Pest Management. A study was commissioned by the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU). The study identifies for the first time the L120Q gene, responsible for the most severe form of resistance. This gene renders first generation anticoagulant rodenticides and two of the second generation groups ineffective. It is widespread across the country.
It also reports that rats without the genetic mutation are being killed off by poison, so the resistant species are taking their place, leaving a growing population of resistant pure-breds.
Another serious concern is that three different types of resistant rats are were found. Farmers, pest control technicians and gamekeepers are using products that are ineffective in places where rodents are resistant; and they are using unnecessary, resistance-breaking products where there is no resistance. More samples need to be taken to solve this problem.
Do you have difficulty in finding a solution to rodent and pest’s problem on your farm? Well, wait no more! There is now a solution well developed to aid your needs in getting rid of rodents and pests in your premises.
