CHICAGO and Flagstaff, Ariz.., July
31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES) has confirmed reports in the Chicago Tribune and other media
outlets on July 25, 2017, that the City of Chicago is commencing a
new pilot program for controlling rodent populations utilizing ContraPest, SenesTech's lead product for controlling rodent
infestations through fertility control.
ContraPest's novel technology and approach 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 formulation that promotes sustained consumption by rodent communities. ContraPest is designed, formulated and dispensed to
be safe for handlers and non-target species such as wildlife, livestock and pets, in a biodegradable product. 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.
As agreed upon between SenesTech and The City of Chicago, SenesTech will not be making any
additional comments on the study at this time.
About SenesTech
SenesTech has 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 initially in controlling rat
infestations. ContraPest's novel technology and approach 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 formulation that promotes sustained consumption by rodent communities. ContraPest is designed, formulated and
dispensed to be safe for handlers and non-target species such as wildlife, livestock and pets, in a biodegradable product. 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.
We believe our non-lethal approach, targeting reproduction, is more humane, less harmful to the environment, and more
effective in providing a sustainable solution to pest infestations than traditional lethal pest management methods. There is
currently no other non-lethal fertility control product approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), for the management of rodent populations. We believe ContraPest® will establish a new
paradigm in rodent control, resulting in improved performance in rodent control over rodenticides, without the negative
environmental effects of rodenticides. For more information visit the SenesTech website at www.senestech.com.
