Thanks all!


ps. Be careful using post emergent crabgrass killer in hot weather (above
84F) and also on drought stressed turfgrass. You can burn your desirables
with it.

....also, crabgrass will die on its own this fall.

Yup, crabgrass is an annual, so you might not want to bother with it this summer so late in the year.



Since it is an annual I will probably wait. I had beautiful grass this
year, no crabgrass to be see until a few weeks ago. Then it grew and
took over so fast it was hard to believe. It now is probably 50% of my
rear lawn. What do I do next year to prevent it?
Thank you.

Depends on where you are. Get a pre-emergent herbicide and apply it in
the Spring. In the US, it would be in April or May.

I am on Long island, in NY. Any specific brand recommendation? Thanks.
