Nothing you buy in a store will kill crabgrass or even harm it in any way. Stop wasting your money. I started with 1 gallon of water mixed with 3 tablespoons of this product and 1.5 tablespoons of MSO. No rain or sprinklers for two days prior, and no rain or sprinklers for two days after. I mowed three days after and left the clippings to sit on the lawn, and then I started watering again. 4 days after I sprayed, I noticed some of the crabgrass start to turn red, as my second photo shows (first photo was the starting point). Today, 8 days after spraying, I noticed many yellow spots in the lawn (see third photo). This isn't healthy grass dying. This is where crabgrass is. You have more than you think!It's important to follow the instructions on the bottle and to be patient, and also to use MSO, which I'd never done before. Pre-emergent did nothing the last two years to prevent crabgrass regrowth, and store-bought weed killers that were advertised to also kill crabgrass only seemed to feed it. If this doesn't work, I'll throw in the towel and have the yard sodded. But so far it looks promising. I'll post another update when I notice more changes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kills Crabgrass in one application!
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2018
This stuff works great! I've been fighting crabgrass for years, not having much luck with the pre-emergent crabgrass preventer, despite having a relatively healthy fertilized, watered, and mostly weed-free lawn. I mixed it as recommended for spot treatment in a garden sprayer (3oz Drive and 1.5oz MSO), and much to my chagrin, it worked the first time. In 3 days the crabgrass was all dead, with little tufts of real grass growing in between the brown crusty crabgrass! I was floored. I know I will probably have to fight this for several years, as I have read that the seeds can lay dormant for 4-5 years, but I have the tools to get rid of it now. I don't expect it to come back this season. I spot treated 2 yards totaling about an acre, and used about 10oz of the 64oz in the jug, so it will be ready for several years' applications. It's expensive but it's the only product I've used that actually works! The label inferred that it could kill other weeds, but on dandelions, creeping charlie, and white clover it seemed to have little or no effect. I guess I'll use my trusty Trimec for that. All in all, I couldn't be happier!
