In the world of pest control, one of the main pests are rats. Rats survive in both urban and suburban environments and the only time we fight the battle against rats is when someone is fed up with them and requires an eradication.
But, efforts to control these rodent populations never results in the complete eradication, rather we attempt to fundamentally reduce the rodent numbers. But the ones we don’t get could cause a local population to quickly develop, leading to super rats or very sickly rats.
Because rats don’t have a wide genetic variance, the offspring that are more sickly, which for our purposes can be a very good result, won't survive as well as even normal rats. But, the rats who survived that are the fitter, their genes are passed to the next generations leading to super duper rats that will be harder to eliminate.
