Humanely Curbing the Next Rat Baby Boom
Rats can quickly multiply from two to fifteen thousand in a short amount of time if the conditions are right. Traditional rodent control methods often involve harsh approaches like traps and poisons. However, ContraPest offers a unique, humane solution that helps keep rat populations under control. By using this contraceptive, property owners can significantly increase the chances of maintaining a pest-free environment by curbing the next rat baby boom before it begins.

ContraPest is the first EPA-registered contraceptive bait designed to lower the birth rates of male and female Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) and roof rats (R. rattus). When used in conjunction with other integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, ContraPest not only reduces rat populations but also prevents them from bouncing back. This makes it an excellent option for getting rid of rats, especially since traditional strategies such as poisons can leave rats alive long enough to breed and multiply.
ContraPest’s effectiveness as a contraceptive bait is undisputed. Field studies have shown that when two major American cities integrated ContraPest into their rat control practices, they achieved significant results. In Washington, D.C., the addition of ContraPest to their IPM led to a 90% reduction in rat activity at two sites over a year. Similarly, San Francisco Recreation and Park personnel recorded a 65% drop in burrow counts over a year when they implemented ContraPest into an ongoing IPM program.
These results are truly impressive.
