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.
