PHOENIX, Dec. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 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®, today announced that the City of Los Angeles has ordered and plans to deploy ContraPest broadly at the Los Angeles Zoo, one of the top 10 in the nation.

ContraPest has been shown in multiple, independent deployments to be effective when used alone or in conjunction with other integrated pest management (IPM) tools, with efficacy improvements of up to 90% over the use of traditional IPM methods. This makes ContraPest a logical choice for deployments where traditional methods are falling short and there is a heightened risk of non-target species exposure, such as in zoos and sanctuaries.

"The LA Zoo started with a deployment of 17 bait stations. Once they were confident in ContraPest, we worked with them to develop a deployment plan which is expected to exceed 250 bait stations. We now move into deployment support with them, providing training and consultation as needed," said Nicole Williams, SenesTech's Chief Strategy Officer. "We will also be using this as a further example of ContraPest's use in integrated pest management as we market to other parts of the City of Los Angeles and beyond."

"Zoos and sanctuaries represent an immediately accessible, multimillion-dollar opportunity for us, a vertical that has grown over 300% in the past year, with nearly 70 current customers and growing. Building on the proven success at other zoos and sanctuaries, and now that we can add the unique Elevate Bait System for roof rat infestations, we anticipate continued rapid and accelerating growth into this vertical," said Joel Fruendt, SenesTech's President and Chief Executive Officer.
