If it did NOT work for you, there are two possibilities (a) you've got an undesirable grass-like weed that is NOT crabgrass; or (b) you have real crabgrass, but did not read the label directions, which say that it will control crabgrass at the 1-tiller stage (early spring), or the 5+-tiller stage (fully grown, late summer) - but intermediate stages "may require multiple applications". Do your homework -> Google "crabgrass tiller stages" to see what those stages are. If you missed early spring, wait until August when the crabgrass is fully grown and is in the 5+tiller stage. Drive XLR8 will kill it dead-dead then.
There are a lot of undesirable grass-like weeds that look like crabgrass. I've got 'em all - and Drive XLR8 does NOT kill them - it only kills crabgrass, and it does that very well. Straight 2,4-D, or Weed-B-Gone/Weed Clear or Trimec are the first choices for those other weeds. You can even mix them in the tank with Drive XLR8 - read the label!
If it killed your whole lawn - Your whole lawn had probably been taken over by crabgrass. Crabgrass is nasty, invasive stuff, and Drive XLR8 did what it was supposed to do - it killed the crabgrass.
For me - Drive XLR8 works exactly as advertised. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Either way, I'll probably use this again in the Spring and again in the Fall. I think that may get rid of the crabgrass once and for all!
Hadn't mowed in several days. Applied using tank sprayer to at least 50 crabgrass plants. No rain so I ran my irrigation system after 2 days. It's been about 8-9 days and very little sign of plants being killed. We'll give it another week.
Well, it's been another week. Not very good at crabgrass. I got 40% Mesotrione and it works great. I'm getting ready to aerate and overseed in late Sept and need control NOW!
I'll try the XLR8 again next Spring.
