This process takes a few days, but is what is recommended now instead of Roundup. The first week or so it will slowly wither and by the 10th day it should be dead. It won't hurt your lawn unless you get anxious and apply more coats. Just spray ONE time and wait. Use Tenacity. Some people add 3 tsp Surfactant to help it stick to the plant, and some use 4 tsp of Lazer dye so they can tell where they have sprayed. It may take up to 3 weeks to completely kill the crabgrass so be patient.
Pull it or spray with vinegar or this solution (note, any spray will also kill other plants and grasses):
2 cups white vinegar
¼ cup salt
Squirt of dawn
Mix in a spray bottle. If you have a larger area, you can mix in a garden sprayer with larger quantities. Use when it will not be raining for a few hours so that it isn’t washed away.
