Growth in the Animal Care Segment of Pest Control Continues to Be Strong
PHOENIX, April 11, 2023 — SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES, “SenesTech” or the “Company”), (www.senestech.com) the rodent fertility control experts and inventors of the only EPA registered contraceptive for male and female rats, ContraPest®, recently concluded participation as the sole vendor representing pest management at the Animal Care Expo in New Orleans, the largest international educational conference and trade show for animal welfare professionals and volunteers, with over 2,000 participants over three days.
“While we have had great success in growing the zoo and animal shelter market, this conference gave us direct exposure to virtually the entire industry. Everyone that visited our booth immediately saw the value of adding ContraPest to their integrated pest management plan,” said Joel Fruendt, SenesTech’s CEO. “These comments were repeated time and time again, as participants were introduced to ContraPest:”
- “I like the fact that we can use this proactively on the inside of the shelters. We can’t put poisons inside with the animals.”
- “I like that it’s proactive as well as ongoing control.”
“We are already generating orders from the conference. This adds to the order volume from animal care professionals that hear from their colleagues who have already had success with ContraPest, and as existing customers expand their use – as was recently seen with Los Angeles County,” added Nicole Williams, SenesTech’s Chief Revenue Officer.
The Company also announced deployment of the Elevate Bait System™ with ContraPest® at a large Louisiana municipal animal shelter. This facility is approximately 30,000 square feet, primarily for cats and dogs. This customer chose to use ContraPest “to expedite control and ensure a more complete resolution to their problem.”
“This is one of many examples of our accelerating penetration of this key market segment,” added Mr. Fruendt.
