The Best Crabgrass Killer for Your Lawn
Crabgrass is one of the most common and troublesome weeds in lawns. It is a fast-growing, low-lying grass that can quickly take over your lawn if left unchecked. Fortunately, there are several effective products available to help you get rid of crabgrass and keep it from coming back. Here’s a look at the best crabgrass killers for your lawn.
Pre-Emergent Herbicides
Pre-emergent herbicides are applied before crabgrass germinates and are the most effective way to prevent crabgrass from taking over your lawn. These products contain chemicals that stop crabgrass seeds from germinating, so they never have a chance to grow. Pre-emergent herbicides should be applied in early spring before the crabgrass starts to grow, and they can last up to six months.
Post-Emergent Herbicides
Post-emergent herbicides are applied after the crabgrass has already started to grow. These products contain chemicals that kill existing crabgrass plants, but they won’t prevent new ones from growing. Post-emergent herbicides should be applied when the crabgrass is actively growing, usually in late spring or early summer. They can last up to three months.
Organic Products
Organic products are an increasingly popular option for controlling crabgrass without using harsh chemicals. These products use natural ingredients like corn gluten meal or vinegar to kill existing plants and prevent new ones from growing. Organic products don’t last as long as chemical herbicides, but they’re safer for people, pets, and the environment.
No matter which product you choose, it’s important to follow the instructions carefully and apply it at the right time of year for best results. With a little bit of effort, you can keep your lawn free of pesky crabgrass all season long.
