SenesTech Inc (SenesTech) is focused on developing and commercializing products for managing animal pest populations, particularly targeting rat populations through fertility control methods. Its primary activities involve creating non-lethal solutions to control rat and mouse populations, addressing public health, food security, and infrastructure challenges posed by rodents. The company operates in the pest control industry, providing alternatives to traditional lethal methods like rodenticides and traps. The company classifies its operations into one reportable operational segment: Pest Control Products.The company’s product portfolio consists of ContraPest and Evolve. ContraPest is a liquid bait designed for the pest control industry. It contains the active ingredients 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD) and triptolide, effectively targeting the reproductive systems of both male and female Norway and roof rats. The effects of ContraPest begin after the first breeding cycle following consumption, leading to sustained population reductions. Its formulation is highly palatable, with a high-fat content and sweet taste, ensuring that rats consume it even when other food sources are available. Field and laboratory studies demonstrate that consumption occurs consistently, regardless of the presence of water and other food options like animal feed and trash. Importantly, ContraPest does not induce illness in rats, which helps to prevent changes in behavior or bait aversion. This characteristic makes ContraPest a valuable addition to integrated pest management strategies and serves as a viable alternative to traditional rodenticides, especially in jurisdictions increasingly limiting second-generation anticoagulants. ContraPest is now registered across all 50 states in the US as a general-use pesticide. Some registrations are conditional, and the company is actively working to meet all requirements.The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved a sub-label for ContraPest, allowing for an alternative delivery system in the form of a hanging bait station, specifically designed for roof rat habitats, marketed as the Elevate Bait System. Evolve is SenesTech's second product, presented as a novel soft bait formulation. It also targets the reproductive systems of male and female rats, leading to population control within one to two breeding cycles following consumption. Evolve contains cottonseed oil as its active ingredient and is classified as a minimum-risk pesticide. Evolve is authorized for sale in 30 states in the US.

SenesTech’s proprietary technology effectively targets rat species but is also applicable to other mammals. The company is actively exploring fertility control in mice, feral dogs, and additional species, with preliminary data indicating promising potential for broader applications. While the rat control market remains its near-term focus, SenesTech is open to licensing its technology to strategic partners for further development in other mammalian species. The company focuses its R&D initiatives on developing fertility control products for rodent population management. The company has created ContraPest, a liquid bait that limits the reproductive capacity of both male and female Norway and roof rats. The active ingredients, 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD) and triptolide, target ovarian function in females and disrupt spermatogenesis in males. Laboratory and field studies have demonstrated the efficacy of ContraPest in reducing litter sizes and suppressing rat populations in various environments. The company aims to integrate fertility management into IPM programs to enhance long-term rodent population control. In FY2024, the company invested US$1.7 million in its R&D activities, which increased 39.4% YoY.
