FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., July 16, 2018 — SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES), a developer of proprietary technologies for managing animal pest populations through fertility control, today announced that the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) has approved ContraPest® for sale and use in California under registration #91601-1-AA. The Company expects to focus on marketing and sales efforts of ContraPest in California immediately.
“California is the fifth largest economy in the world and one of the top three state markets for pest control nationally, which is immediately attractive for any developer of innovative pest management solutions. In addition, California consistently leads the way with respect to innovative and environmentally sensitive policies, and California consumers demand products which are effective, are as safe as possible, are ethical, and pose the least burden on the planet. This makes California a particularly important market for ContraPest, which was designed with the same principles,” said Dr. Loretta P. Mayer, co-Founder and CEO of SenesTech.
About ContraPest
ContraPest® is an innovative technology that targets the reproductive capabilities of Norway and roof rats. As a highly palatable liquid, the formulation promotes sustained consumption, helping to reduce fertility in both male and female rats, bringing populations down and keeping them down. Our delivery system is designed to minimize handler exposure, and ContraPest is dispensed inside tamper resistant bait stations, minimizing the risks to non-target species.
As a versatile tool, ContraPest can be used within Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to help reduce reproduction and magnify the success of IPM protocols or as a standalone, non-lethal solution for customers that are looking to reduce or eliminate the use of lethal methodologies.
ContraPest is a Restricted Use Pesticide, due to applicator expertise. Please read and comply with all label instructions.
