FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Aug. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES), a developer of proprietary technologies for managing animal pest populations through fertility control, today announced that the Company had sold and shipped more ContraPest^® in July than any month in its history.

"Two factors came together in July to make this our best sales month ever. One, the sales promotions that we put in place during the second quarter matured in July. Two, the opening of the California market to ContraPest was just as successful as anticipated," said Dr. Loretta P. Mayer, co-Founder and CEO of SenesTech.

"During July, we had new or continuing orders from all of our distributors. We continue to directly communicate with over 50 pest management professional companies (PMPs) that are deploying ContraPest as part of their integrated pest management programs. We are also seeing interest in ContraPest by more government agencies, most recently in California, where PMPs, parks and transit agencies are adding ContraPest to their toolbox of pest management solutions. We also had our first two orders from Hawaii, where we only started marketing last week," said Tom Chesterman, CFO and head of commercialization for SenesTech. "We expect to record between $50,000 and $60,000 in revenue in July alone, which we believe shows that the current commercialization team and program that we started in April is gaining traction, and we expect it to continue to grow."

The Company will release second quarter earnings on August 13, 2018.

About ContraPest 

ContraPest^® is an innovative technology that targets the reproductive capabilities of Norway and roof rats. As a highly palatable liquid, the formulation promotes sustained consumption, helping to reduce fertility in both male and female rats, bringing populations down and keeping them down. Our delivery system is designed to minimize handler exposure, and ContraPest is dispensed inside tamper resistant bait stations, minimizing the risks to non-target species.

As a versatile tool, ContraPest can be used within Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to help reduce reproduction and magnify the success of IPM protocols or as a standalone, non-lethal solution for customers that are looking to reduce or eliminate the use of lethal methodologies.

ContraPest is a Restricted Use Pesticide, due to applicator expertise. Please read and comply with all label instructions.
