Very safely and very sadly. I don't have the exact figures handy, although I could probably find them if someone needs them. I have been told again and again through the years by industry spokespersons, cooperative extension people and federal and state environmental conservation officials in the course of doing numerous investigative series on the effects of pesticides that the overwhelming amount of pesticides and herbicides are used by homeowners for their residential lawns.
