Insights

The distribution agreement between SenesTech, Inc. and Poppe Enterprises LLC represents a strategic expansion in the pest management sector, specifically targeting the grain management market across several states. The grain market is substantial, with rodents being a significant threat to stored food supplies globally. The introduction of Evolve™ soft bait, a non-poisonous fertility control product, could disrupt traditional pest control methods, which often rely on poisons and traps.

From a market penetration perspective, the collaboration with Poppe Enterprises, a firm with established market presence and expertise, is likely to facilitate immediate product uptake and brand recognition. This can potentially lead to an increased market share for SenesTech in the pest control industry. The diversification of SenesTech's distribution channels and the increased geographic reach should be considered positive indicators for potential revenue growth, which might interest investors looking at long-term value creation.

SenesTech's new partnership is a significant business development that could impact its financial performance. The initial stocking order from Poppe Enterprises suggests an immediate revenue boost. However, investors should monitor the subsequent sales performance to gauge the long-term financial impact. It is essential to analyze the cost structure of producing Evolve and compare it to traditional rodenticides to assess the profitability of this new product line.

Furthermore, given the EPA's minimum risk designation for Evolve, this could lead to wider adoption due to fewer regulatory hurdles, potentially reducing legal and compliance costs associated with more heavily regulated poisons. This advantage, coupled with the product's competitive pricing, could make it an attractive option for grain storage operators, leading to sustained demand and financial stability for SenesTech.

SenesTech's Evolve product addresses a critical issue within the agricultural supply chain: the reduction of food supply losses due to rodent infestation. With nearly 20% of the world's stored food supply impacted by rodents, effective control measures are essential for economic sustainability in the agriculture sector.

The use of a non-poisonous fertility control method is not only innovative but also aligns with increasing regulatory and consumer demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices. By reducing reliance on traditional poisons, which carry risks of contamination and resistance development in rodent populations, Evolve could offer a long-term, ecologically responsible solution. This could enhance the brand's reputation and appeal to a market segment that prioritizes sustainability, potentially leading to increased adoption rates and a stronger position within the agricultural supply chain.

PHOENIX, Jan. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNES; "SenesTech" or the "Company"), the leader in fertility control to manage animal pest populations, today announces a signed distribution agreement with Poppe Enterprises LLC, a distributor and pest management firm focused on the grain management market, serving Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Kansas, Wyoming, Iowa and Colorado. Poppe Enterprises will be a stocking distributor for Evolve™ soft bait and has placed its initial stocking order.

Joel Fruendt, SenesTech's President and CEO, said: "Grain storage operations have unique challenges when it comes to rodent pest control. Poisons are highly regulated and are tricky to use without contamination, and traps are expensive and time-consuming to maintain. The non-poison Evolve soft bait, with its minimum risk EPA designation, reasonable cost, and proven efficacy, provides a new tool for this widespread market.

"We are partnering with a leader and innovator in grain management and pest control, Poppe Enterprises. Poppe Enterprises has a keen focus on innovation, safety, and sustainability, and a strong reputation in this substantial market. Their presence and market knowledge will mean immediate penetration of the Evolve product."

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 reduced 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.

The grain market represents a significant opportunity for Evolve. Rodents are responsible for destroying nearly 20% of the world's stored food supply due to consumption and contamination.
