- A study published in 2020 showed that 100% of Red-tailed Hawks that were admitted to the Tufts Wildlife Clinic tested positive for the presence of rodenticides
- Given how rodents remain a crucial food source for birds of prey, anticoagulant rat poison is threatening these populations
- SenesTech, a rodent fertility control product provider, and the inventor of the only EPA-registered contraceptive for male and female rats, offers a much safer alternative
- The company’s Evolve(TM) soft bait products for rats and mice have been scientifically proven to manage rodent infestations, while minimizing risk to human health or the larger environment
- This supports the well-being of birds of prey and other animals while proactively managing rodent pest populations
Back in 2020, a study published by Tufts Wildlife Clinic and Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine showed that 100% of the Red-tailed Hawks admitted into their clinic tested positive for rodenticides. Earlier this year, Flaco, a famous Eurasian eagle owl that lived in Central Park, was found dead. A necropsy would later reveal that he was exposed to four different second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (“SGARs”). It shed light on the use of rodenticides for rodent population control and its impact beyond rodents and onto a broader ecosystem that includes birds and other animals (https://ibn.fm/m6wJW).
SenesTech (NASDAQ: SNES), a rodent fertility control product provider and inventor of the only EPA-registered contraceptive for male and female rats, has addressed adverse safety and environmental issues of poisons through the use of non-lethal methods of rodent population control. Its flagship product line, Evolve(TM) soft baits for rats and mice, has been scientifically proven to manage rodent infestations while posing none of the known risks (https://ibn.fm/z3McO).
The company’s approach has been lauded for its sustainability and overall effectiveness, with various state governments adopting it to address their infestation problems.
“Rat birth control is a promising non-toxic solution to remediating heavily infested areas without dumping lethal poisons all over our city’s streetscape,” noted Shaun Abreu, an Upper West Side City Council Member (https://ibn.fm/4RvGK).
Anticoagulant rat poison, which is widely used, helps deal with the rat population by disrupting their blood clotting process. This usually results in internal bleeding, with rats becoming lethargic and weak, often having to deal with a significant amount of pain and discomfort before ultimately dying from organ failure or blood loss (https://ibn.fm/uLFS7).
When predators consume these poisoned animals, they also consume the poison, and after that, they experience the same symptoms as the rats. In the last two years alone, 43 red-tailed hawks admitted have tested positive for anticoagulant rodenticides. For an endangered species such as the bald eagle, using these rodenticides threatens to undo decades-long efforts to protect such species.
“We have no choice but to remove these poisons from the environment,” noted Lla Anderson of Harvard’s Animal Law & Policy Clinic. “We have got to stop feeding them to rodents,” she added.
SenesTech’s Evolve(TM) products are more sustainable, non-lethal to the broader ecosystem, and more effective than alternatives currently in the market. The active ingredient in the product, Cottonseed Oil, has been proven to interfere with the reproductive mechanisms in both male and female rodents, ultimately targeting infestation at its source. Results can be seen in 4-6 weeks, and the product could potentially eliminate the entire rodent population in an area within 12 to 18 months.
As the conversation around humane and non-lethal approaches to rodent population control continues to proliferate, SenesTech’s products continue to get a positive reception and an even wider adoption. The company continues to carve out a decent market share and stamp its position as a leader in the market. Most importantly, it continues to affirm its commitment to improving people’s quality of life by sustainably dealing with rodents.
