Well that depends on how good they are eating, drinking, and what they are living in. If they are eating crumbs or scraps on the floor or in corners and drinking from a dripping faucet or a leak in a fish tank and you have a large or medium sized house and/or yard then there could be hundreds and even thousands. My suggestion on catching them is to be to use mouse traps or if you want them to live, then you can order a humane no kill mouse and rat trap from Amazon. They are 13-14 dollars if you get the small ones for mice and rats. The others are expensive.

What event enabled the rats to become resistant to warfarin?
Evolution, but by artificial selection, so to speak. Imagine a colony of rats. They all have very tiny differences in their genes, and as these differences neither help nor harm the rat, they are passed along to their offspring as normal. If someone tries to poison the colony with warfarin, many will die. If any rat's genetics give it a resistance to the poison, then these rats will survive, and pass the resistance genes onto their offspring. Some of these may even be more resistant, etc. So it can be that the entire colony is mostly unaffected by the poison.
