Do mice/rats adapt to poison?

How many of them will eat it before the rest realise it's not such a tasty nibble? Do they ever learn?Do mice/rats adapt to poison?
i don't know about that, But they put poison packets in the rat bait boxes at work %26amp; the rats won't touch them any more. So they must learn that they are not good for them. Even after 3 months the packets don't get touched yet we still see rats at night.Do mice/rats adapt to poison?
They really don't learn, since they die before they have a chance to learn. Rat poison is an anticoagulant, and most rodents that eat it bleed to death internally in very short order.
They do become immune to certain poisons quite quickly. You have to change the type of poison you use.
my friend worked in pest control and he said that rats were able to quickly become immune to poisons therefore new poisons were always being developed
