A study published in Pest Management Science indicates that genetic mutations are making anticoagulant baits ineffective. This trend is creating a growing problem in cities including New York and Philadelphia.What's confirmed:Rutgers University researchers found that 84% of house mice sampled from urban areas in the Northeast carried at least one genetic mutation linked to rodenticide resistance.The research regarding rodent resistance was published in the international journal
