As the pest management industry continues to evolve toward more sustainable and humane control methods, one product is gaining rapid traction for its novel approach. SenesTech’s trademarked Evolve Rat Birth Control is a soft bait designed specifically to reduce rat populations by targeting fertility — not through toxins, but by effectively curbing reproduction.
Designated as a minimum-risk pesticide by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under FIFRA 25(b), Evolve represents a new frontier in integrated pest management (IPM). Formulated for ease of deployment and broad environmental compatibility, Evolve is highly palatable, designed to attract rats even in the presence of alternative food sources, and can be strategically placed in a wide range of urban, agricultural, and commercial environments.
“Adding fertility control to IPM programs can increase long-term effectiveness by up to 90 percent, especially in chronic or large-scale infestations,” says Joel Fruendt, president and CEO of SenesTech. “Evolve enables pest professionals to go beyond traditional kill-based methods by addressing the root cause of infestations: uncontrolled reproduction.”
Evolve is currently available in consumer sized 1.5- and 3-pound soft bait pouches, as well as professional-use 6- and 12-pouch pails. It is already in use in major U.S. cities — including Baltimore, Md.; San Francisco, Calif.; New York, N.Y; and Chicago, Ill. — where it’s being deployed by municipal agencies and business districts seeking long-term, humane rat population control.
Evolve does not pose secondary risks to non-target animals, making it particularly appealing in areas with pets, wildlife or sensitive ecosystems. It is labeled for use near schools, food-handling facilities, green infrastructure projects and public spaces, where safety and sustainability are priorities.
For pest management professionals, Evolve provides a differentiated service offering, a way to stand out by promoting science-backed, future-forward solutions that deliver measurable, lasting results.
