Dear Mr. Balk:

I have completed a preliminary analysis of the data from the field trials we conducted on the effectiveness of your mole repellent, Scoot Mole. Our data confirm earlier findings that Scoot Mole is an effective repellent. when applied at a rate of 1 quart per 5,000 square feet. Our results also indicate that Scoot Mole is an effective mole repellent when applied at a rate of l quart per 10,000 square feet. These trials were conducted under extremely rigorous conditions. Our study plots were in a condominium complex that contains a large number of mature shade trees and is surrounded by woods. Additionally, the soil is very sandy in spots where the developer brought in sand to use as fill. Despite these conditions and unseasonably wet weather (over 2 inches of precipitation fell during the course of the study) Scoot Mole worked at both application rates. I will be forwarding a thorough analysis of the data to you as soon as I have it completed. If you have any questions concerning our field trials of Scoot Mole, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely ,

"Signature on file"
