SenesTech Launches “Direct To Consumer” Program for ContraPest®

PHOENIX, March 19, 2020 — SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES), a developer of proprietary technologies for managing animal pest populations through fertility control, today announced that it had successfully launched direct to consumer sales of its flagship rodent control product, ContraPest®, through the Company’s new e-commerce platform.

DIY ContraPest

ContraPest is birth control for rats. ContraPest not only reduces rat infestations, it prevents them from coming back. With over five years of testing and deployment in municipal, agricultural and commercial locations, ContraPest has proven to be effective, sustainable, and safer to use than conventional rat poisons.

To meet the demands of homeowners and small business owners who wish to protect their properties, families, and communities from the risks associated with rat infestations, this program is designed to make ContraPest more easily accessible and easy to use. ContraPest is now available as a starter kit, which includes a bait station, a tank of ContraPest and a tray. Refills are available as a single or a monthly subscription order.

To order ContraPest:

  1. Order ContraPest straight from SenesTech’s Online Store
  2. Conveniently deploy ContraPest on-site without worrying about exposure to poisons
  3. Subscribe to our monthly program and save 5% off entire order

To learn more about this, visit our website, which also provides tools to help homeowners and small business owners take charge of rat prevention by choosing ContraPest as a biorational, proactive, year-round solution.

After order fulfillment, SenesTech’s customer service team will follow up with customers within a few days to assist with deployment and answer any questions, and will reach out again to help with deployment optimization and reorder.

“We implemented this program to address the needs of customers who either could not find a pest management professional to meet their needs or preferred to do-it-themselves,” said Steven Krause, Ph.D., SenesTech’s EVP of Sales and Marketing. “From this launch success, we can now confidently expand our outreach. With available email lists, digital ad placements and social media techniques – we can rapidly reach millions of targeted, potential customers.”

Of the 95 million single family homes in the U.S., 54% identify as ‘do-it-yourselfers’, and 40% of those are rat control specific – or a 20.5 million customer segment that is spending $600 million per year on solutions.

“We believe that ContraPest’s environmentally friendly formula and user friendly approach will be game-changing in pest control – for professionals and consumers,” said Ken Siegel, SenesTech’s CEO.

About SenesTech

SenesTech is changing the model for pest management by targeting one of the root causes 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 www.senestech.com.
