FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Aug. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech,
Inc. (Nasdaq: SNES), a developer of proprietary technologies for
managing animal pest populations through fertility control,
announced today the commencement of a one year agreement for the
deployment of ContraPest at a food production facility on the East
Coast. The agreement provides the facility's manager with a safe
and effective solution for controlling rodent infestations, helping
their registered Pest Management Professional (PMP) to fill a need,
where traditional rodenticide is unable to be utilized and trapping
is impractical and has proven ineffective.
"We are excited to be working within this market segment to
begin deploying ContraPest to these customers," said SenesTech's
co-founder and CEO Dr. Loretta
Mayer. "This food production facility manager, like many
others, is frustrated at the lack of sustainable improvement in
their rodent infestation challenges. ContraPest is the missing tool
in the integrated pest management (IPM) toolbox for many and varied
customers, particularly food production facilities which have
particularly stringent standards."
Andy Altman, COO of SenesTech,
commented, "There are numerous regional and national PMPs that are
beginning to understand the void that ContraPest fills in
addressing their customer needs for a safe and sustainable solution
to rodent control. As mentioned in our last conference call, we are
highly focused on a combination of top-down and bottom-up
approaches to driving awareness of ContraPest, and have focused our
increased sales infrastructure on this opportunity."
About SenesTech
SenesTech developed an innovative technology for managing animal
pest populations through fertility control as opposed to a lethal
approach. The company's first fertility control product,
ContraPest, is marketed for use in controlling rat infestations.
ContraPest's novel technology targets the reproductive
capabilities of both sexes, inducing egg loss in female rodents and
impairing sperm development in males. Using proprietary bait
stations, ContraPest is dispensed in a highly palatable liquid
formula that promotes sustained consumption by rodent communities.
The liquid is biodegradable, designed to be safe for handlers and
non-target species such as wildlife, livestock and pets. In
contrast, the historical approach to managing rodent pest
populations, rodenticides, carries a high risk of environmental
contamination and the poisoning of non-target animals, pets and
children.
SenesTech's non-lethal approach of targeting reproduction is
more humane, environmentally safe, and more effective in providing
a sustainable solution to pest management. Currently no other
non-lethal fertility control product is approved by the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), for the management of rodent populations. SenesTech believes
ContraPest will establish a new paradigm over rodenticides,
without the negative environmental effects. For more
