PHOENIX, Dec. 4, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES, "SenesTech" or
the "Company"), (www.senestech.com) the leader in fertility control
to manage animal pest populations, today announces its ContraPest®
products have been registered for sale and immediate use in
Puerto Rico. ContraPest is the
first and only EPA-registered rat contraceptive impacting both male
and female rats and fits seamlessly into all integrated pest
management programs, significantly improving the overall goal of
effective pest management.
"Puerto Rico, as an island
nation, is ideally positioned to benefit from ContraPest's unique
fertility control features. Similar to many other islands, rats in
Puerto Rico have posed a huge
problem for society, whether it be food contamination or
destruction, infrastructure damage or public health risks. The
grain industry, in particular, has been hit hard by rat
infestations, endangering food security for the island. We are
currently finalizing plans with a large agricultural firm to be our
lead customer in the country," commented Joel Fruendt, SenesTech president and CEO.
"SenesTech's line up of fertility control products address the
fundamental issue of rodent overpopulation by focusing on the rapid
reproduction of rats. Our solutions control the population by
reducing or eliminating the fertility of rats, rather than trying
to keep up with the growing numbers of an infestation with poisons
alone," Fruendt continued.
The Company is also in the process of completing Puerto Rico product registration for Evolve™,
SenesTech's all new, soft bait product that has similar efficacy to
ContraPest but in a user friendly non-liquid format.
SenesTech currently offers four unique fertility control options
to manage rat infestations, including the following:
- The Ultimate Bait System™ with ContraPest® is
designed for pest management professionals with its larger size and
standard bait box deployment.
- The Isolate Bait System™ with ContraPest® is
a more efficient and easier-to-use bait system utilizing an
integrated tank-tray unit catering to both professionals and the
do-it-yourself market.
- The Elevate Bait SystemTM with
ContraPest® was uniquely designed to be easily
deployed above ground with multiple options for mounting in the
rafters of barns, granaries, storage and manufacturing facilities –
wherever rats are feeding, transiting or hiding. The novel
suspended bait station is easily accessible by rats, but out of the
way of people, pets, livestock, food stores, etc.
- EvolveTM Soft Bait, the first and only soft
bait contraceptive for rats in a highly palatable, user-friendly
format, and convenient for professionals and consumers alike to
deploy.
"We look forward to bringing our unique rodent control
approach to the integrated pest management companies and
do-it-yourselfers of Puerto Rico
in the years to come," Fruendt concluded.
