SenesTech Evolve Cuts Rodent Activity by 80% on 400-Acre Texas Farm
SNES•SenesTech’s Evolve Rat Birth Control reduced rodent activity by 80% at a 400-acre Dalhart, Texas farm, cutting leaks in underground irrigation tape and lowering maintenance expenses. The precision agriculture operation plans to continue Evolve’s T-Bait Station program as a sustainable long-term rodent management strategy.
1. Trial Setup
SenesTech implemented Evolve Rat Birth Control at a 400-acre farm in Dalhart, Texas, where underground drip irrigation tape was repeatedly damaged by burrowing rodents seeking moisture.
2. Significant Rodent Reduction
Onsite observations over the first several months showed an estimated 80% decline in rodent activity, leading to fewer leaks, reduced repair expenses and improved irrigation efficiency.
3. Deployment Method
The program deployed agricultural T-Bait Stations designed for low-cost installation, simplified servicing and visual monitoring of refill requirements across the entire farming operation.
4. Market Potential
The U.S. agricultural irrigation market spans millions of acres in water-sensitive regions; this successful trial underscores Evolve’s potential within a multi-billion-dollar sector to protect drip irrigation infrastructure.
