FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES), a leader in technology for managing animal pest populations through fertility control, will exhibit ContraPest®, the EPA-approved fertility control product for controlling rat infestations, at PestWorld 2017 in Baltimore, MD on October 24-27.
"PestWorld offers a unique opportunity to present ContraPest to the pest management professional, or PMP, community," said Dr. Loretta Mayer, SenesTech's co-founder and chief executive officer. "On both scientific and practical levels, this is an ideal opportunity to explain ContraPest's role as the anchor of a successful integrated pest management program. In addition, we look forward to furthering our conversations with rodent management scientists and regulatory personnel."
"This is the place where deals are done in our industry," said Andy Altman, SenesTech's chief operating officer. "Whether it be pursuing or concluding preferred relationships with PMPs, or expanding our sales and distribution network by partnering with leading distributors in the industry, they are all at PestWorld, and we will be active with all of them."
The Revolutionary ContraPest Technology:
ContraPest's novel technology and approach targets the reproductive capabilities of both sexes, inducing egg loss in female rodents 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 safe for handlers and non-target species such as wildlife, livestock and pets, where the active ingredients break down rapidly, unlike rodenticides. In contrast, the historical approach to managing rodent pest populations, rodenticides, carries a high risk of environmental contamination and the poisoning of non-target animals, pets and children.
We believe our non-lethal approach, targeting reproduction, is more humane, and when used as directed, less harmful to the environment, and more effective in providing a sustainable solution to pest infestations than traditional lethal pest management methods.

About SenesTech
SenesTech has developed an innovative technology for managing animal pest populations through fertility control as opposed to a lethal approach.
The Company's first ContraPest's novel technology and approach targets the reproductive capabilities of both sexes, inducing egg loss in female rodents 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 safe for handlers and non-target species such as wildlife, livestock and pets, where the active ingredients break down rapidly, unlike rodenticides. In contrast, the historical approach to managing rodent pest populations, rodenticides, carries a high risk of environmental contamination and the poisoning of non-target animals, pets and children. ContraPest is a Restricted Use product.
We believe our non-lethal approach, targeting reproduction, is more humane, less harmful to the environment, and more effective in providing a sustainable solution to pest infestations than traditional lethal pest management methods. There is currently no other non-lethal fertility control product approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), for the management of rodent populations. We believe ContraPest® will establish a new paradigm in rodent control, resulting in improved performance in rodent control over rodenticides, without the negative environmental effects of rodenticides.
