Evolve is a highly-palatable patent-pending soft bait contraceptive for rats. The active ingredient is cottonseed oil, which interferes with the reproductive mechanisms of both male and female rats. As a FIFRA Section 25(b) exempt minimum risk pesticide, it poses little to no risk to human health or the environment. Rodenticides can reduce a population fast, but the remaining survivors soon repopulate. This is because rats have a short reproductive cycle and large litters with many pups. Evolve compliments other rodent control tactics for a better outcome. Fertility control prevents rats from increasing their numbers for long-term success. Including Evolve as part of a complete Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy helps avoid the frustration that comes from spending time, money, and effort to reduce a rat population, only to have it bounce right back. Rodenticides tend to become less effective over time due to learned aversion, genetic resistance, and/or increased tolerance. The rats that survive in a population are typically the ones that won't eat rodenticides, or have learned to outsmart traps. Evolve is a contraceptive bait without the side effects that can lead to bait aversion. Surviving rats will continue to eat Evolve; the more they eat, the better results for you. Evolve proactively addresses the source of a rat infestation, working in tandem with other rodent control tactics, targeting the surviving population.
