PHOENIX, Jan. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech (NASDAQ: SNES) (www.senestech.com), the rodent fertility control expert, announced today that Columbus, Ohio is the latest city to begin using ContraPest®. Columbus now joins cities like San Francisco, Washington DC, Hartford, and Newton, Massachusetts in successfully incorporating ContraPest into their integrated pest management programs, with others expected to follow. ContraPest has demonstrated unprecedented success in urban areas reducing rat populations by as much as 94 percent in an environmentally responsible manner when used as part of an integrated pest management program.
Columbus offers free residential pest management to their city residents. The city has been making moves towards more environmentally responsible products across the board over the past five years; ContraPest is their latest move in that direction. It will be used in homes all over the city, deployed by the city professionals as part of an integrated pest management plan to knock down rat populations and keep them down, as well as to be able to offer a poison-free option to those who request it.
"I am extremely pleased with the traction we are gaining within our municipal segment, as Columbus, Ohio has now integrated ContraPest into their integrated pest management program," said Ken Siegel the CEO of SenesTech. "Columbus builds upon the successful deployments in key cities around the country, including Washington D.C. where we demonstrated excellent efficacy when ContraPest was added to their existing program. Further, there is a growing sentiment for more environmentally aware approaches such as ContraPest, as evidenced by California's ban on the widespread use of second-generation anti-coagulant rodenticides which in part recently lead to Los Angeles County mandating fertility control in their 2022 pest management RFPs. I am thrilled that the work done to highlight the unique attributes of ContraPest amongst this market segment is resonating as there is clearly a growing understanding and acknowledgment in the pest control industry and among the public that fertility control is an essential addition to the toolbox of controlling rat populations."
