PHOENIX, Feb. 28, 2023 /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 more details of ContraPest's efficacy were reported from multiple sources at the latest Vertebrate Pest Conference (VPC). The minutes from the VPC conference were recently released.

In one paper, SenesTech researchers reported on a dramatic 95% reduction of rat activity when ContraPest was added to the existing integrated pest management (IPM) program. Results showed that as ContraPest consumption increased over the study, rat activity significantly declined.

"In addition to the scientific evidence presented, we also heard from customers that they experienced lower losses and economic costs," said Nicole Williams, SenesTech's Chief Revenue Officer.

In other papers and discussions at VPC, independent studies and results included:

• A 98% rat population reduction in an animal rescue facility on the west coast,
• An 80% rat population reduction at a second animal rescue facility, also on the west coast, and
• A 90% rat population reduction in an urban setting in Seattle.

"As more and more customers incorporate ContraPest into their IPM programs, more and more customers are reporting dramatic efficacy, and, in the case of agribusiness customers, economic benefit. This surge of acceptance will be key to building on our growth trend and even accelerating it in 2023," said Joel Fruendt, SenesTech's CEO.
