1. As a percentage of all households. | |||||
2. As a percentage of households with a lawn or garden. | |||||
3. Some respondents specified a frequency of application other than "part of a regular maintenance schedule" or "when problems arose." This proportion is not included here so some row totals may be less than 100%. In addition, some respondents specified both frequencies of application so some row totals may exceed 100%. | |||||
