SenesTech's Evolve™ Rodent Birth Control Proven in Urban Rodent Hotspots from Hong Kong to San Francisco

Pallet and Container Orders Expected for Resupply and Expansion

SURPRISE, Ariz., June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNES, ", SenesTech", or the ", Company", )), a leader in fertility control for managing animal pest populations, today announced compelling results from two major urban deployments — one in Hong Kong and one in San Francisco — showing how pairing Evolve™ Rat Birth Control with traditional poison bait stations delivers faster, more sustainable rodent control where it's needed most.

Global Cities Face Persistent Rodent Pressure

Urban centers worldwide face constant rodent challenges due to dense infrastructure, hard-to-access breeding sites, and abundant food sources. Even the most aggressive traditional rodenticide programs often fall short over time, as rodents adapt to poisons and continue to reproduce unchecked.

A Breakthrough: Combining Fertility Control with Traditional Rodenticides

In both Hong Kong and San Francisco, pest management teams implemented a novel integrated strategy: deploying Evolve's palatable soft bait alongside conventional rodenticide blocks within standard bait stations across infested buildings and surrounding areas.

This hybrid approach tackles two critical issues simultaneously:

• Immediate population knockdown via targeted poison baiting
• Long-term population suppression by disrupting rodent reproduction cycles with fertility control

In Hong Kong, this method was applied in a high-density mixed-use building with persistent rodent activity. Within three months, sightings fell dramatically, bait consumption declined as the population shrank, and no new litters were detected — breaking the cycle of reinfestation that had frustrated property managers for years.

Further details on this study can be read here.

In San Francisco, an urban deployment in a heavily trafficked neighborhood known for recurring infestations achieved similar success: a clear reduction in visible rodent activity, less poison used overall, and a measurable drop in new rodent births.

A New Industry Standard for Sustainable Urban IPM

"These successes prove that fertility control isn't just an idea — it's a practical tool that helps pest professionals get ahead of chronic infestations faster and with less rodenticide. Deploying Evolve alongside bait blocks strengthens any IPM program. Cities worldwide can benefit from this smarter, more sustainable approach," said Joel Fruendt, CEO of SenesTech. "These kinds of validating results are also what trigger rapid expansion – we are currently preparing for a container-sized order from Hong Kong, for example."
