SenesTech reports significant reductions in rodent activity following deployments of its Evolve® Rat Control solution in urban environments.
In a promising development for the maritime industry, SenesTech, Inc. has reported significant reductions in rodent activity following multi-month deployments of its Evolve® Rat Control solution in urban field studies. The company, a leader in non-lethal rodent population management, shared the results in a recent press release.
According to the report, SenesTech's Evolve® product was able to achieve substantial decreases in rodent populations in the tested urban environments. The company's proprietary technology utilizes a fertility control approach to manage rodents, offering a humane and sustainable alternative to traditional pest control methods.
'These field study results demonstrate the potential of our Evolve® solution to effectively address rodent challenges in the types of urban settings commonly found near ports, warehouses, and other critical maritime infrastructure,' said Ken Siegel, CEO of SenesTech. 'As the industry continues to seek innovative ways to maintain cleanliness and safety, we believe our technology can play an important role.'
Rodent infestations pose significant risks to maritime operations, from contaminating cargo and supplies to damaging infrastructure. The ability to safely and humanely reduce rodent populations is a key priority for many port authorities and shipping companies. The promising findings from SenesTech's urban trials suggest their Evolve® solution could be a valuable tool in the industry's rodent control arsenal.
The Maritime Executive reports that SenesTech is now exploring opportunities to deploy the Evolve® system at additional maritime sites to further validate its effectiveness in real-world port and logistics environments. As the industry continues to seek sustainable solutions to environmental challenges, technologies like this that address pest management in a humane manner may gain increasing attention and adoption.
Overall, the results from SenesTech's urban field studies represent an encouraging development in the quest for effective, ethical rodent control strategies to support the safety and efficiency of maritime operations worldwide.
