FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., May 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc.
(NASDAQ: SNES), a developer of proprietary technologies for
managing animal pest populations through fertility control,
announced today that Pestec, an industry leader in environmentally
conscious Integrated Pest Management (IPM) solutions, has added
ContraPest® to their IPM programs for use in popular
locations within the San Francisco Bay Area.
"San Francisco is a hub of
culture, commerce and biodiversity," said Luis Agurto, President and CEO of Pestec.
"The conditions that drive this vibrancy are the same
conditons that drive all life, including rats. Our challenge as
protectors of public health and property and being stewards of the
environment is to find the right balance. We are very excited to
deploy new innovative measures that protect people and pets and
minimize the potential for unintended consequences to the
environment."
Pestec plans to implement ContraPest® in historically
rodent challenging locations within the city. These areas contain
an abundance of sought after resources which make favorable
conditions for rats and their reproduction. By utilizing
ContraPest®, Pestec aims to control rat populations in a
sustainable and long-term fashion for their clients. One of these
clients, Recology at Pier 96, is a resource recovery recycling
facility which aims to minimize the amount of waste within
San Francisco.
"Our client's primary concern is protecting the health and
safety to their staff and meeting their quality control
requirements," continued Agurto. "However, businesses love
when they have the option to choose better pest management outcomes
AND less harm to the environment. Our partners at Recology are
ecstatic with the new avian residents at Pier 96. Since
transitioning from 2nd generation anti-coagulants (SGARs) several
years ago, a pair of raptors moved in to do their part in the pest
management effort. Now with a new option for reduced-risk rat
management, our team has more assurance that rat populations won't
rebound and our avian helpers aren't at risk of secondary
poisoning."
"SenesTech is gratified that Pestec has adopted
ContraPest® as a tool to humanely and effectively manage
rat populations within the Bay Area. SenesTech works with numerous
wildlife and environmental groups that aim to limit the amount of
toxins in the environment. Pestec's forward thinking rodent
management programs offer solutions that environmentally conscious
clients such as these desire. San
Francisco was one of the first cities in California to recognize the hazards of second
generation anti-coagulants (SGARs), and one of the first cities to
pass legislation to limit or eliminate SGARs. Now, they will also
be leading the way in implementing innovative ways of controlling
pests with less reliance on SGARs. As native Californians, we
are very proud to be of service to our home state. A state
that has committed themselves to environmental stewardship,
wildlife, and smart growth cities," said Co-Founders, Dr.
Cheryl Dyer, Chief Research Officer,
and Dr. Loretta Mayer, CEO.
About SenesTech
SenesTech is changing the paradigm of pest management by
targeting the root cause of the problem: reproduction.
ContraPest® is an innovative technology with an
approach that targets the reproductive capabilities of both sexes
in rat populations, inducing egg loss in female rats and impairing
sperm development in males. Using a proprietary bait delivery
method, ContraPest® is dispensed in a highly palatable
liquid formulation that promotes sustained consumption by rat
communities. ContraPest® is designed, formulated and
dispensed to be low hazard for handlers and non-target species such
as wildlife, livestock and pets, where the active ingredients break
down rapidly.
We believe ContraPest® will establish a new paradigm
in rodent control, resulting in a decreased reliance on lethal
options. For more information visit the SenesTech website at
