Problem
Rodent infestations on farms, homes, zoos, and other facilities are typically managed with poisons or traps, which pose safety risks to non‑target species, wildlife, and humans, and often fail to provide long‑term population control.
Solution
SenesTech provides rodent fertility bait products that reduce rat and mouse populations by suppressing reproduction rather than killing the animals. The bait is formulated for both indoor and outdoor use and can be deployed in a variety of settings such as agricultural operations, residential properties, animal sanctuaries, and zoos. By targeting fertility, the solution delivers gradual, humane population decline while eliminating the hazards associated with conventional poisons and mechanical traps. The products are easy to apply, require minimal handling, and are designed to be attractive to rodents, ensuring consistent consumption. Over weeks to months, treated rodent populations exhibit reduced breeding rates, leading to observable drops in activity and damage without harming non‑target wildlife.
Target Audience
Primary customers include agricultural producers, residential property owners, animal shelters, zoos, and pest‑control professionals seeking safe, non‑lethal rodent management solutions.
