Resistance to warfarin in rats occurs when there is a

genetic mutation in their gene code. Which gets passed on when they breed so it makes other rats immune too.

This is called natural selection

Rats can become resistant to Warfarin through genetic mutations that affect their ability to metabolize the drug. This can lead to an increased tolerance to Warfarin's effects, making it less effective in controlling rat populations. Additionally, rats may develop behavioral adaptations to avoid consuming bait containing Warfarin, further reducing its efficacy in controlling rat infestations.
