PHOENIX, Oct. 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNES), the leader in birth
control to manage rodent pest populations, today announces that the
New York City Council has approved a bill to implement a rat
contraception pilot program. From the bill, the term "rat
contraceptive" means an agent for the reduction of reproductive
capacity in rats that is approved for such use by the United States
Environment Protection Agency. SenesTech is currently the only
manufacturer of products that meet this requirement.
This bill, Int. No. 736-A, mandates the Department of
Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), in collaboration with the
Department of Sanitation (DSNY) and a rodent control expert, to
launch a pilot program deploying rat contraceptives within 180 days
of enactment.
The program will run for at least 12 months in two rat
mitigation zones and a comparable area, focusing on residential
buildings with waste in containers. DOHMH must conduct monthly
inspections, tracking rat activity, and report findings to the
Mayor and City Council after the pilot period.
"SenesTech has two product lines on the market today,
ContraPest® and Evolve™, that have shown efficacy and safety in
deployments throughout the United
States and around the globe. We are the provider of Rat
Birth Control™. We look forward to supporting New York City in their pilot program," said
Joel Fruendt, SenesTech's President
and CEO.
