The weed has been spreading in my yard quickly. I used a general weed
control liquid bought from Wal-Mart last year, but seems not working.

What kind of weed is this? Do we have to use something special to handle
it?



It's not crabgrass which has barely begun to germinate in much of the
US and doesn't look at all like your picture. Crabgrass won't appear
this size till late summer. Yours looks like some type of rough
grass. Which is the bad news, because with some specific exceptions,
there aren't herbicides that will kill the undesirable grass without
killing the good grass too. As you've already found, the typical
broadleaf weedkiller doesn't work, because it's not a broadleaf weed.

You can take a sample to a local agricultural extension service, if
they have one in your county for identification. IF you do, take as
large and mature a plant as possible. But, assuming it's a perenial,
it's very likely that the only way to get rid of it will be to use
Roundup to kill everything and re-seed. If it's just a few plants,
you could also dig it out. Hopefully it's not all over your turf.
