You can use Roundup to kill the crabgrass the trick is in applying it.
You
can get a pair of rubber gloves and put a pair of cloth gloves over
them.
Then moisten the glove with roundup mixture. carefully apply the roundup
to
the grabgrass by grabbing the shoots of the plant, be carefull not to
touch
the anything you want to live!

How can one kill rooted crabgrass this late in the year without
killing
everything else around it? Thanks.




Acclaim is the best product I've found, though you need a license to
buy it. Very effective, kills the crabgrass and leaves the lawn
unharmed. The over the counter ones I've tried were poor at killing
the crabgrass and harmed the good grass.

I'll second Chet's recommendation here. There was a time when you had to do
crab applications in the spring. I've had great results w/ Acclaim in the
summer and little or no damage to the lawn.
