1. As a percentage of households with a lawn or garden. 2. 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 percent. In addition, some respondents specified both frequencies of application so some row totals may exceed 100 percent.
