ContraPest is a contraceptive pest control tool designed to reduce fertility in brown and black rats. It was developed by the U.S. biotechnology company SenesTech.[1]
Originally designed to supplement existing rodent control strategies, is a sweet liquid that appeals to rats.[2] However, it does not sterilize them, so a continuous supply is required.[3] The company claims that in field tests, ContraPest use caused a reduction in rat populations of roughly 40% over a period of 12 weeks or longer.[1] The product was approved for commercial use by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in August 2016.[4]
