Mutant rats not affected by standard rat poisons, eat them like candy - Polidicks

Wisetrap, problem solved. However, it is quite expensive.

Are the affected by a cat still?

reminds me of the Stephen King story about giant rats. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graveyard_Shift_(story)[/url]

Let me go get my boots, cause it's old-fashioned stomping time.

Dishonored, much?

Why did this bring back memories of the film Mouse Hunt ^_^

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;38111480]Evolution is honestly terrifying. No matter how much we try to wipe out pests or rodents and various diseases, they keep finding out ways around it.[/QUOTE] Well, it's kind of their life's mission. When millions of certain viruses get wiped out by a certain anti-virus vaccination, it won't go unnoticed by the viruses. They will do everything in their power to find a way around it next time, those millions of "virus-bros" didn't die for nothing.

[QUOTE=SlickBlade;38109684]Think it's cause they're like every other animal, they can communicate and talk, guess they've learnt and spread the word about what's dangerous and such.[/QUOTE] No, they built of a biological resistance to it. They're not fucking sitting there like "yo don't eat that it made me sick" [editline]20th October 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Maruhai;38111835]It was bound to happen, humans progressively change to adapt to things dangerous to them. Scientists are going to find a new poison against these rats and then in 200 years the new rats will be immune to said poison.[/QUOTE] So then we go back to old poison. If we stop using the old poison, their tolerance will drop [editline]20th October 2012[/editline] After years and years and years, of course. It would obviously take many generations

Edit: Really guys, these rats don't "communicate" with other rats to warn them, nor do they truly "learn" it in their lifetime. This is natural selection at work. Those that are mutated to be more resistant thrive, while the others die.

Welp, we're boned.

[QUOTE=Saintsin;38109466]I live on 6 acres and rats are common, I just throw out some rice or other food and sit and wait with a .22. Best solution for me[/QUOTE] feeding the enemy great job

Why are people rating this winner? Rats are already a big enough pest issue without being poison-resistant.

Then you do this, Get a old microwave, dissasemble it, taking precautions (discharge capacitors and unplug Duh!) then...: [video=youtube;YJPOupZoyi4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJPOupZoyi4[/video] Edited: or you could go overkill with this: [video=youtube;YJPOupZoyi4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGO91VCazKc[/video] Disclamer: Both Facepunch and its users, along with myself are not held responsible for any injurys or deaths that are caused from use in information from this post

These sons of bitches have existed forever, I remember reading a related story once burning the whole "Bronx on fire" during the 70s where this one lady had a daughter who was paralyzed from the waist down and when the mother got home one day she found a rat gnawing at her daughter's legs.

We should get some sort of animal that would hunt rodents. If only we could conceive of such a beast.

Lets just pray to allah that they wont be bullet proof.

Next thing you know, Radroaches will roam the Earth.

As long as they aren't super aggressive... We don't want to see this happening: [video=youtube;PTf2WjnIfs8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTf2WjnIfs8[/video]

Fucking rats, man. At least my cat is a pro, drops a rat at my feet once or twice a week (scares the fucking shit outa me when I put my feet down under my desk and feel a squishy warm furry thing). I never find any rats around my house other than the ones my cat likes to drop at my feet. Either my cat is really nice by giving me presents, or a real douchebag for trying to scare me.

[QUOTE=SlickBlade;38109684]Think it's cause they're like every other animal, they can communicate and talk, guess they've learnt and spread the word about what's dangerous and such.[/QUOTE] If only it was back in 2000 when rats didn't know shit about telling each other what is dangerous or not. Lil' fuckers are getting smart.

[QUOTE]An increasing number of rats in areas of the west of England are mutating to become more resistant to commonly sold poisons, a university study has found.[/QUOTE] They are not mutating, but the mutated genotype, that has began from one or few rats, is spreading.

[QUOTE=Maucer;38119539]They are not mutating, but the mutated genotype, that has began from one or at least few rats, is spreading.[/QUOTE] They, as a species, are mutating to become more resistant.

1.Put rat poison inside cleverly disguised live-rat-trap (maybe incorporate them into a wall?) 2.Capture a rat eating poisoned bait 3.Kill rat 4.Sanitize trap if neccesary 5.??? 6.Profit? not sure about the practicality of that. How bad are these rats anyways?

[QUOTE=mobrockers2;38119548]They, as a species, are mutating to become more resistant.[/QUOTE] Species do not mutate. Mutations happens among individuals, evolution among populations.

This is like those German "Uber Mice" Great Uncle Helmut told me about, only ten times fucking worse.

Rats are pretty nasty, but I'm more worried about poison resistant cockroaches. [IMG]http://photoload.ru/data/99/27/14/9927140b5fe3a95a17bbec3667bbd75b.png[/IMG]
