If your seeing it now it may be too late, you will have to wait till next spring, then use a pre emergence herbicide for crab grass.

To get it now you will have to use a herbicide especially for crab grass, but it works better if you get it before it germinates.

If you didn't have it before, then were did it come from?

Do you have a gardening service? If so than that may be the source, they don't wash the mower before they come to your yard.

If you do your lawn your self, then it came from down the block, or up the block, depending on what way the wind blows.

Call my ex wife:she can kill dandelions by talking to them...

You spot it on the crab grass, and keep it off the lawn as much as you can, keep the water as hot as you can, remove the dead plant after it turns yellow, if the wife complains hand her the weeding tool.(best option)

Hot water from the sink is not hot enough, you have to use a kettle and boil it, I saw a video somewhere on how to do this, he used his BBQ to boil the water in a kettle, then dumped it directly on the crab grass.

Corn gluten????? Hummmm I wonder if the left overs from a run of shine will kill it?

You can use Round UP. It will kill it.

ya and everything it touches...lol

[geist]

Round up is not organic. Only way is hard work using a weed popper. You have to constantly stay on top by removing complete weed or root will repopulate. Otherwise, no easy way without chemicals.
