PHOENIX, Oct. 31,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc. (Nasdaq:
SNES), the leader in birth control to manage rodent pest
populations, today announces the successful registration of Evolve™
in Hong Kong.
A Sustainable and Humane Approach to Rodent Control
Hong Kong welcomes
Evolve™, an innovative, non-lethal rodent birth control
solution designed to target rat infestations at their root. Unlike
conventional methods, Evolve restricts rodent reproduction,
offering an effective and humane way to manage infestations without
posing risks to humans, pets, wildlife, or the environment. As a
sustainable alternative to toxic baits and inhumane traps,
Evolve represents a breakthrough in tackling Hong Kong's escalating rat problem.
Pioneering a New Standard in Rodent Management
Developed by U.S.-based SenesTech, a leader in the animal pest
fertility control industry, Evolve is the first and only
soft bait specifically designed to reduce rat populations by
limiting fertility. Launched earlier this year, Evolve
offers a non-lethal, eco-friendly solution that has earned the
"minimum risk" designation from the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). This classification (FIFRA 25(b) exempt) highlights
its low-risk profile for humans, the environment, and non-target
species.
Building on the success of Evolve Rat, SenesTech expanded
its product line in May with the introduction of Evolve™
Mouse. Both products integrate seamlessly into existing pest
management programs, providing long-term, sustainable control of
rodent populations.
Fruit Tree Limited Appointed as Exclusive Distributor in
Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, Evolve is
exclusively distributed by Fruit Tree Limited and its subsidiaries,
Nobedbugs-HK and Chinchex Limited, prominent pest control service
providers that have worked extensively with the Food and
Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) of the HKSAR government to
register the products.
"We are excited to be the exclusive distributor of Evolve in
Hong Kong," said Francisco Pazos Alvarino, Director of Fruit Tree
Limited. "This product represents the future of rodent control,
offering a significant competitive advantage while aligning with
our mission to deliver effective, safe, and sustainable pest
management solutions."
Alvarino noted the shortcomings of conventional methods, such as
poisonous baits and traps, which may quickly eliminate rodents but
fail to address the long-term growth of rodent populations. "A
single rat pair can produce up to 15,000 offspring annually.
Without a fertility control solution, traditional methods are
incomplete. That's where Evolve comes in, revolutionizing
integrated pest management strategies by addressing
reproduction."
Tackling Hong Kong's Growing
Rat Population
With an estimated rat population of 2.5 million, Hong Kong faces a serious rodent problem.
Despite recent efforts by the FEHD, which reported the capture of
65,500 live rodents last year—a 39 percent increase from the
previous year—the infestation continues to expand. Targeting the
B2B market, Fruit Tree Limited sees vast potential for
Evolve in Hong Kong, with
plans to expand into Mainland China. Initially, Evolve™ Rat
and Evolve™ Mouse will be available in 1.5 lb, 3 lb and 6 lb
packages through NoBedBugs-HK. For more information, visit

Maximizing the Impact of Rodent Control Programs
Research shows Evolve can reduce fertility in rodent
populations by up to 90 percent when integrated into pest
management programs. By addressing rodent reproduction,
Evolve enhances the overall effectiveness of current control
measures.
SenesTech CEO, Joel Fruendt,
remarked, "We're not just offering a product; we're delivering a
solution to an urgent problem. Evolve isn't just about
controlling the rodent population—it's about taking back our spaces
from the growing threat of infestation."
