FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES), a developer of proprietary technologies for managing rat populations through fertility control, announced today that preliminary sales for the third quarter of 2018 were approximately triple those of the immediately preceeding second quarter of 2018.

"There were several factors at play during this past quarter, including the impact of sales promotions that were  rolled out  in the second quarter and continued expansion of sales in California," said Dr. Loretta P. Mayer, co-Founder and CEO of SenesTech.

"Based on preliminary, unaudited results, we expect net revenues for the third quarter – that is revenues net of promotional expenses – to come in at between  $100,000 and $110,000" said Tom Chesterman, EVP and CFO for SenesTech.

Dr. Mayer continued, "We also have positive expectations that these trends and continued growth will continue  due to three key factors:

1. The removal of the "Restricted Use Pesticide" classification from ContraPest^® which the company received on October 18, 2018,
2. The launch of the new bait delivery system designed to fit in the Bell Labs PROTECTA EVO Express which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2018, and
3. Sales from national accounts that have been in negotiation."

The Company expects to release third quarter earnings on or about November 12^th.

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.

Please read and follow all label instructions. Target species: Norway and roof rats.
