British households could be set for an invasion of super rats that are resistant to poison thanks to a genetic mutation dubbed L120Q.
The mutation means toxins used to kill the rodents are ineffective and could potentially lead rats plaguing homes across the UK, with some scientists even fearing a population spike thanks to their immunity to poison.

Cats and a variety of vermin-snuffing terriers seem to have a busy future ahead of them.

They’re already lost to the RAT liberals.
As for the rodents, invest in cats.

IMO Florida and Texas are under imminent threat of a Super RAT invasion.

As a military police officer in Seoul, I was pulling an overnight shift as duty officer and was driving on Yongsan garrison when I saw a critter scurry across the street in front of my vehicle. The first thought that popped into my 2:00 a.m. coffee soaked brain was, "Hmmm...I didn't know there were opossum in Korea." Then it dawned on me...there
aren't opossum in Korea.
Biggest damn rat I ever saw.
