SenesTech's Evolve™ Deployed in Chicago Neighborhoods

PHOENIX, April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNES), a pioneer in fertility control solutions for managing rodent populations, today confirmed the expanding deployment of Evolve^TM Rat Birth Control in the Wicker Park Bucktown Special Service Area of Chicago.

The new program from the Wicker Park Bucktown Chamber of Commerce has crews installing bait boxes with Evolve Rat in alleys behind several major thoroughfares in the neighborhoods. The goal, according to Alice Howe, Special Service Area N. 33 Program Manager, is to control the rat population without the toxins and poisons that pose a risk to many other animals in the city as well as water supplies.

The program, which garnered extensive media coverage, is the latest in SenesTech's rodent birth control^TM deployments. In September, the New York City Council voted to launch a rat contraceptive pilot program, which is expected to commence shortly. Other recent urban deployments of note have been in the Boston area and Baltimore.

As part of SenesTech's partnership with Wicker Park Bucktown groups, the Company has launched a dedicated informational website for the residents and business owners, which can be accessed here.

"This Chicago project is a perfect example of a commerce/citizen joint effort. They approached us with the problem, and our technical team worked with them on developing a plan. The early reports on consumption are positive, and we are already working on their second shipment as they expand the deployment area," said Joel Fruendt, President and CEO of SenesTech.
