SURPRISE, Ariz., July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES), a leader in fertility control solutions for managing rodent populations, today announced successful results from the use of Evolve® Rat Birth Control™ at a 400-acre farming operation in Dalhart, Texas, where rodents had been causing persistent damage to underground irrigation infrastructure. The farm utilizes one of the world's leading irrigation systems for precision agriculture and sustainable water management. Prior to implementing Evolve, rodents routinely chewed through underground irrigation tape in search of water in the dry Texas climate, resulting in recurring leaks, increased maintenance expenses, labor-intensive repairs, reduced irrigation efficiency, and disruptions to crop production. Damage to irrigation infrastructure required ongoing monitoring and repair, creating additional costs and diverting resources from other farm operations. According to observations made during the first several months following implementation of Evolve, the farm experienced a substantial reduction in rodent activity and irrigation tape damage. During the most recent reporting period, onsite observations indicated rodent activity across the property declined by an estimated 80%. "For the first time since implementing this underground irrigation system, we're seeing dramatically fewer leaks caused by rodents," stated the farm owner. "We're very pleased with the results and plan to continue using Evolve as part of our long-term rodent management program." "At the outset of the project, hundreds to thousands of rodent holes were visible throughout the perimeter of the property and around individual pump stations," said Michael Edell, SenesTech's President and CEO. "During the first several months of implementation, we observed significant consumption of Evolve at bait stations throughout the property. As the program progressed, visible rodent activity declined steadily, including fewer active holes and reduced feeding activity around bait stations." Evolve was implemented using a specially designed agricultural "T-Bait Station" configuration intended for large-scale agricultural environments, including row crop farms, dairies, ranches, and related applications. The system was designed to provide low-cost deployment, simplified servicing, and visual monitoring of refill requirements. Th...
