They warn of a new breed of ‘super rodents’

Since the start of this 21st century, most of the rats and mice in Britain have evolved and become resistant to a common type of poisonpublic The mirror.

According to the medium, around 78% of rats and the 95% of house mice they now have genes that allow them to tolerate poisons known as anticoagulant rodenticides.

How do these repellants work? These poisons normally kill animals prevent blood clotting.

British scientists who have studied rats and mice for the past two decades have discovered the same gene in animals all over the country.

This development can be a “threat to human and animal health”explained parasite expert Dr. Alan Buckle. And he added: “The continued use of anticoagulant rodenticides against resistant rats or mice has serious disadvantages.”

According to the expert, these rodent control treatments are incompletewhich generates threats to human and animal health.

“They generate a faster spread of resistant rodents that survive and the long-term survival of resistant parasites that carry poison residues which could then be consumed by predators,” clarified the researcher.

As indicated The mirrorBritain is home to around five million mice and eight million rats.

The the largest house mousethe yellow-necked one, can grow up to 10cm longwhile the brown rats the larger ones can measure up to nearly 40cm.

Invasion of rats in New York too

A few weeks ago, the New York City government, led by Mayor Eric Adams, posted a job posting looking for someone who lead the fight of the metropolis against the rats.

The official job title is “Rodent Mitigation Manager,” though that was soon named “anti-mouse czar”. Salary ranges from $120,000 to $170,000 annually.

That’s because city officials have tried to control the rodent population for generations with mixed results. And the rat sightings in parks, sidewalks and other places in the city have increased recently.

The rats of New York survived the ex-mayor’s multimillion-dollar effort Bill de Blasiowhich he focused more on rubbish collection and on better home inspections in specific neighborhoods.

The city has also launched a program for you to use dry ice to suffocate the mice in their hiding places.

Now the Adams administration wants to mouse specialist become the public face of the work of eradication and education from the city.
