FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., July 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES), a developer of proprietary technologies for managing animal pest populations through fertility control, today announced the sale of ContraPest^® to Pestmaster Services^® ("Pestmaster") for the first deployment in California. Pestmaster plans to immediately deploy ContraPest to new and existing customers who have been pre-selected for ContraPest. The order also includes stocking quantities for additional customers yet to be identified.

"We have worked with Pestmaster to identify and plan for the ideal deployment of ContraPest with a variety of customer types. We are aware of two immediate customers, an animal care facility and a large government agency, but we know there are others where Pestmaster has planned deployments," said Tom Chesterman, EVP, CFO and head of commercialization for SenesTech. "Given Pestmaster's reputation for quality and innovation, as well as their expertise in governmental contracting, we have no doubt that ContraPest will make rapid inroads into integrated pest management in California and throughout the Pestmaster network."

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. Target species: Norway and roof rats
