I've had good results with Acclaim, which is what I use.

Acclaim is a great POST emergent crabgrass treatment (if available OTC in
your area) and dimension is a great pre emergent treatment (needs to be
applied in the spring).

Ortho Weed-B-Gone for Crabgrass sucks. It just makes them ill for a
while (they get limp) and then they shoot back up.

3 applications are required, about 7 to 10 days apart. That's true
with the Bonide product, also.

I've had success with Ortho Weed-B-Gon Crabgrass Killer, Concentrate.
Just have to note, I have to spray more than once for larger plants,
and it generallly isn't a spray once and forget product.

I like it cause it does no visible damage to my yard, and kills the
crab grass.

BTW, I just picked up Bayer Advanced Weed Killer for Lawns. It
claimes to work as a broad leaf weed killer, and a crab grass killer.
I'll be trying it out soon. I'll post my findings.

later,
