Rewriting the Rules of Rat Control — Without Poisons or Traps

For decades, pest control and quality assurance professionals have fought an uphill battle against one of the world’s most persistent adversaries — the rat. No matter how many are trapped or poisoned, populations rebound faster than they can be reduced. The problem isn’t the tools; it’s biology. Rats reproduce at astonishing rates — two rats in one year can become 15,000. Until now, no solution directly addressed that root cause.

A Game-Changing Shift in IPM

Enter Evolve® Rat Birth Control®, the first and only fertility control bait designed for rats. Developed by SenesTech, Evolve Rat represents a revolutionary leap in Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Instead of relying on lethal methods that temporarily suppress populations, Evolve Rat targets reproduction — stopping infestations at their source.

The soft bait formulation is highly palatable, making it easy to incorporate into existing control programs. When consumed regularly, it reduces fertility in both male and female rats, leading to smaller litters and fewer breeding cycles. Over time, the population naturally declines — without poisons, traps or secondary risks to pets, wildlife or the environment.

Proven in the Field

Evolve Rat Birth Control isn’t just innovative — it’s proven. Across a range of environments, from commercial food facilities and agricultural fields to urban neighborhoods, Evolve Rat has delivered transformative results. In one California program, a seasoned pest management professional said, “In 30 years, I haven’t seen anything like it. At the start of June, we were trapping 60-70 adult rats per week. By July’s end, we were trapping one per week.”

Municipal initiatives in cities such as Chicago, Baltimore and Irvine, Calif., have demonstrated measurable, sustainable reductions in rodent populations, showing that fertility control works where traditional methods plateau.

The Perfect Fit for QA/QC and Pest Management Professionals

For QA and QC professionals, Evolve Rat represents a new layer of protection for food safety and compliance. As a FIFRA 25(b) exempt product, it is not a poison and is safe to use around processing, storage and manufacturing environments where chemical rodenticides are restricted.

For pest management professionals, it offers a long-term solution that integrates seamlessly into IPM programs, complementing existing tools rather than replacing them. By managing reproduction, you can maintain low rodent numbers and prevent rebounds that often follow traditional baiting campaigns.

The Future of Rodent Control

Evolve® Rat Birth Control® isn’t just another product — it’s a paradigm shift. It empowers professionals to deliver sustainable, humane and science-based results that clients value and regulators support.
