Rhea-AI Summary

SenesTech, Inc. (SNES) announced the launch of Evolve™ Soft Bait at Ace Hardware franchise locations in California. The product targets rodent populations using nonlethal methods to restrict fertility, marking the first time a traditional retail store has offered SenesTech's rodent fertility control solutions. Evolve is designed to reduce or eliminate the fertility of rats, offering diverse placement in different environments and competitive pricing compared to rodenticide alternatives.

PHOENIX, Nov. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES, "SenesTech" or the "Company"), (www.senestech.com) the leader in fertility control to manage animal pest populations, today announced the launch of Evolve™ Soft Bait ("Evolve") at Ace Hardware franchise locations in California. Evolve is the first and only soft bait product featuring breakthrough, next generation technology that targets rodent populations by using nonlethal methods to restrict fertility. The franchise has also recently began selling SenesTech's expanded line of fertility control products, including the Isolate™ and Elevate™ bait systems for ContraPest^®. This marks the first time a traditional retail store has offered SenesTech's rodent fertility control solutions.

"California-based Scarborough Ace Hardware, as well as Scarborough Home and Garden, are the first retail outlets to commit to SenesTech's line. They will also be among the first in the U.S. to receive shipments of Evolve based on their recent preorder," commented Joel Fruendt, SenesTech's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We expect the penetration of retail and big box to rapidly accelerate, especially with the launch of Evolve and its retail friendly soft bait profile and packaging."

Evolve addresses the fundamental issue of rodent overpopulation by focusing on the rapid reproduction of rats. Evolve controls the population by reducing or eliminating the fertility of rats, rather than trying to keep up with the growing numbers of an infestation with poisons alone. The active ingredient in Evolve effectively reduces fertility in rodents in numerous independent studies. Evolve is highly palatable to rats, easy to deploy, offers diverse placement in many different environments  and is priced competitively to rodenticide alternatives.

"Evolve was developed to offer customers a soft bait product that has similar efficacy to ContraPest, but in a format that is easier to deploy, and is ideally suited for use by do it yourself consumers. We are pleased to be partnering with the team at Scarborough Ace Hardware to provide their customers with an innovative solution to address their rodent issues," Fruendt expanded.

Crystal Maro from Scarborough Ace Hardware commented, "We put the ContraPest product line on the shelves recently and are already re-ordering due to high sales levels. The product is definitely starting to pick up, and with the Evolve soft bait now available, we expect interest and sales to accelerate. This area was overrun with rats after the CZU fire. Traps and poison can only get you so far, and both can cause harm to local wildlife and pets. People are very excited that there is an alternative."
