The study indicates a growing problem in cities including Philadelphia and New York City. While mice are mutating, rats are evolving by learning to avoid traps and extermination methods.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.Mutating mice are a growing problem in Philadelphia and New York City.The rese
