DIY how to kill crabgrass. My crabgrass is not dying. How to prevent and control crabgrass
Crabgrass prevention and control are not always an easy task. Experience goes a long way in finding out all the tips and tricks to preventing, controlling, and killing crabgrass.
Understanding how to identify crabgrass is the first step. I find it common that people mistake crabgrass for johnson grass, orchard grass, tall fescue and quack grass.
All of the above mentioned grass types are perennial grasses and cannot be controlled by an annual grass herbicide. You're only option to controlling perennial grasses is to dig the grass out or a technique called sponging. sponging involves a localized treatment of glysophate (roundup), a non-selective herbicide, directly to the leaves of the unwanted grass. Careful not to apply too much or you'll most likely kill the grass and the grasses around it you like. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

no disrespect but you’re a totally irresponsible to recommend a carcinogen such as Monsanto's Round up, a guy just won a case in the US due to getting CANCER from spraying this poison, whats next you recommending Agent Orange or DDT. recommending this to people for use in their garden where they, Children or pets may come onto contact with this poison is crazy., also round up stays in the soil for decades, and has a detrimental effect on other plants, microbes and insects.
The article also shows how nearby use of Roundup affects farmers not using the “Roundup Ready” system of growing GMO crops coupled with the spraying of glyphosate. One farmer describes how he loses corn every time his neighbor sprays Roundup and the herbicide drifts onto his conventionally grown corn. Worse, his neighbor’s fields have become so compacted that every time it rains, Roundup-laden runoff floods his conventional crops. “ANYTHING YOU PUT ON THE LAND AFFECTS THE CHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGY OF THE LAND, AND THAT’S A POWERFUL PESTICIDE,” the farmer is quoted as saying

Don't you know Round Up only causes cancer in California. And that guy is from the bay area... But did you read the story, he literally bathed and inhaled Round Up.

I recently moved back to my home & I am fighting Numerous Crab grass weeds & others. I've tried numerous diff items. I am NOW Pulling all the Crab Grass & Weeds Personally to as they a smothering out my St Augustine (carpertgrass). I have been researching online for over a week looking for answers. I am in Houston, TX if you have further advise.
The sun causes cancer, driving your car causes cancer, grilling burgers causes cancer, using your phone or computer you used to write this miss guided/uninformed comment is causing you cancer....
never thought i'd be on youtube learning about grass
LOL I never thought I'd be on youtube with an audience that cared
Crazy times we're living in
I was looking for another type of grass...
me neither. 3 yrs ago i mowed and that was it, didnt care what i was mowing. I must be getting old that i care what my lawn looks like now
This is exactly what happens when you grow up... they lied to us!!! 😂🤣😂🤣 It’s nothing like we imagined 😂 here we are YouTubing GRASS 😞 so disappointing 😭
This video has been by far the most well organized and informative crabgrass identification video ive seen ! Great job Lawn Ginja
Thanks E Landscaper. HUGE compliment.
Cheers from NE Missouri
One of the most comprehensive videos I've seen on TH-cam, regarding crabgrass/grassy weeds. Helluva job brotha👍!
Thanks!!! Really appreciate the feedback!
Agree
Poop
@@lukechurch4515 You better get that checked out Luke!
Well I'm 68 years old and this is The Best Crabgrass education I've ever viewed!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge about "identification" of different type of grasses and weeds.
Huge compliment John!!! Thanks so much. Really glad its helping.
I really appreciate this channel! I am learning so much about my grass and how to take care of it! Thank you and keep up the great content!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Really appreciate it
one of the best video descriptions i have seen on youtube of how to control crabgrass, etc;. Thanks for sharing
Great video! Nice that you talk about the look likes and the various products you can use to get the crabgrass under control.
Now I know what I dug up! Luckily, it's outside my fence in the city's right of way. But I didn't want it coming into my yard. So....I dug most of them up, have a few more to go. As you said, I had to dig deep! Left some pretty good size holes. But I'm not replacing the dirt. I'm sure the grass will now start growing over the holes. St Augustine can grow really thick. That's what I'm counting on. Anyway, thank you for a great, informative video without unnecessary chatter!! I stayed with you till the end. And thanks again!!! 👍🏻
Thanks! Good luck
Not only is it not dying, it's laughing at me.
must be dallas grass then. it'll give you the bird finger fast hahaha.
😂 me too
I think our crabgrass is related to each other
I needed this! Looks like my yard right now (Georgia)! I am a new homeowner and by the second summer all these different grasses popped up. Thank you for explaining. Great tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!
By far the best video I've seen for removing crabgrass! Thank you so much!
Wow, thanks!
This is one of the best videos I have seen so far on weed control. Crisp and clear and very informative. I would recommend everyone should watch this video and learn to identify the different grass types and how to control them. Well done!!.
Thank you! Really appreciate the positive words.
Thanks for the time you put into this video. I learned more in 10:52 than I have in the past several years. Well explained and great advice.
Appreciate that Michael! Thanks for watching my video.
Love the detail on identifying the grasses and treatment of crabgrass.
Thanks for the comment and the feedback! Have a great day.
Thank you very much for your time and this video. Nicely produced and great information.
Thanks db.super kind
Excellent information and an easy to understand video! Great Job!
Thanks sharon! appreciate the feedback.
The best video on grass and weed control I have ever seen! You nailed it bro!
Thanks Jim!!! Really appreciate you spending the time and watching.
Thank you for breaking this down and making it so simple to understand!!! Have a great day all 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You are soo welcome Sara! Have a great day.
Good grief. I learned more about these weeds and products than I ever have. Tough to catch all of it, but I'll go back and take notes. Great job and you seem extremely knowledgeable! Well done brother!
Brad! Thanks for the incredible compliment. Really appreciate it! Have a great night.
@@pestandlawnginja Your other video says you can use quin and seed oil on bermuda but this video has a text pop saying dont for crabgrass. Now im more confused.
Good stuff. Solid knowledge and explanation. Keep it up. We need another good lawn guy around on the tube.
Thanks Trevor!!! I'll do my best!
After 5 to 6 years of trying to combat crabgrass and not having a healthy lawn until this year I still have crab grass I bought Gordon’s crabgrass killer from Ace Hardware and mixed it half an ounce more than what I called for put in 1 tablespoon of Dawn dish detergent may be a little bit more and the crabgrass after I cut it down to the grass to 2 inches tall to really cut the heads off I sprayed the crabgrass it was dead in 2 to 3 days. It did not hurt my tall fescue. Subscribed
very cool . Thanks for sharing.
A great detailed video with technical details. You are knowledgeable about various types of crab grass. You stand out highly against the rest of the weed busters. Great job.
Thanks Michael! appreciate the support
Thanks for the info. This is the problem I've been experiencing. Quinclorac not working. Now I know why.
Glad I could help Sebastian!
Excellent addition to youtube. Lots of good details and to the point. Subscribed
Meism THANKS!!! Huge compliment. Appreciate it.
Really informative and well spoken on crabgrass! My lawn is 70% crabgrass, 5% clover, 10% bare from dead weeds I killed with weed-be-gone and it barely freezes in Dallas, Tx but it is now in the 90's with tons of bugs and a disabled single lady like me can hardly get outside in this climate
Thanks!!! Glad you liked it. Thats some crazy heat in texas
this is the most comprehensive and clarified video about weeds control so far.thanks for sharing .
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your videos. Finally got a house with a yard and I have been learning and embracing the suck. Its a rental and they said they will discount us on rent for what ever we do to improve they property. Your videos help. Its nice for when we own next year. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Steven! glad its working out with you.
Thanks! That was the most straightforward explanation of weed control I've heard so far.
Thanks Robert! Those were my intentions.
Damn, finally someone who knows what he's talking about when it comes to crabgrass. Unofrtunately, my lawn has been overwhelmed and I'm having to kill it and reseed. but now I'll know how to take care of it moving forward!
Thanks Steve!
Thx. Excellent, detailed info. Very clearly delivered. Greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it.
Pest and Lawn Ginja, we just purchased a home and the lawn is infested with what looks to be crab grass and I was searching for ways to get it under control. Dude, I learned a TON just watching this video! Thanks and I'm subscribing.
Carlton! Love that you were able to take the info and run with it. Makes me happy. That was the whole reason for me showing up to youtube. I wanted to create good content that would allow people like you to watch and do the doing!
Excellent content. You will be my lawn care go-to guy from now on.
Huge compliment LP&S. Thank you.
Great video! I wish I had watched this 5 years ago. A lot of great info it took me years to learn!
You and me both Jason!!!! I'm glad you're enjoying it. I was frustrated for years with all the misinformation I was given. Figured it was time to help others now that I've got a handle on it.
Best description I have ever watched that explains the basis for many of the eradication methods.
Thanks Frank!!! Really appreciate you watching

Thanks man! I have a problem with crabgrass. Good advice!
Thanks pappysCorner!
I have been trying to figure out the difference between Tall Fescue, Johnson Grass, and others, your explanation with examples was great!.
Glad I could help Steven! thanks for watching
I'm guessing you live on the Wasatch because you nailed every type of grass I have been struggling with (and the mountains in the background) Thank you for the highly knowledgeable explanation. I guess I'll be digging because I got tall fescue not crab grass.
Scott!!! You guessed it! Gotta love the mountain range, such a great place to live.
Amazing video. Solved so many questions I've been wondering about. Thank you!
Thanks Eric!!! appreciate you
very informative and probably the best crab grass vid I've seen
Wow, thanks Chad!! appreciate the compliment
Finally a video on this that's in Utah! My neighborhood has more of the tall fescues but my direct neighbor had the Crabgrass. And it's currently turning purple (thanks Trimec).
Hey, can you do a video on the thistle types in Utah? Mainly the type that get the purple flowers?
Hi Court welcome! Thanks for watching and the comment. I'd be happy to do a video on thistle. It may take me a while to find multiple species. But the control methods are all the same for thistle. I'll put it on the list. Thanks for the idea.
Sounds like Scotch Thistle.
Great video!
For my St. Augustine lawn, I had an invasion of crab grass in my backyard. I grows all over the neighborhood. One method you did not mention: I ripped out all the crab grass by hand, end of last summer. I seeded some new grass on top, Bermuda. It grew well into fall while the St. Augustine shuts already down. This year, the St. Augustine overgrew the Bermuda grass. Really good success displacing the crab grass. Because it grows horizontally it is really easy to grab and pull out. Ok, I had a few blister, I admit! 👍🏻😀
Love it! I made a video this season about digging crabgrass out by hand! Can you dig it!
Wow! I'm blown away by your knowledge! I don't think we can get those products here in Switzerland, but it's fascinating to listen to you. All the best, Rob
Thanks Rob! Wish i could get on the lawns there. someday!
Great info! Thanks for the time you took to do this!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching. I appreciate the support
Watching this video showed me that to get a great and luscious lawn.... I need to hire someone.
😂😂😂😂 👊🤩
pfcande llast Isn’t
Exactly what I was thinking LOL 😁
I just hired someone yesterday. Only good thing about doing my own lawn was loosing 13 lbs. Florida is too hot right now.😟
Yep. It's time to "hire the man"!
Very Knowledgeable video and channel... Open my eyes to issues that I couldn't understand regarding my lawn; thank you.
I have a serious undesirable grass/weed/crabgrass problem at my home and I made the decision to Dig the whole lawn up and re-apply soil and go with new SOD.
I deal with a Local Landscaper and He cuts several properties on my block / neighborhood. My question is am I wasting my money by going with new SOD and letting the Landscaper cut my lawn because the other lawns he cuts have similar bad crabgrass issues ? Thanks
Great question James. Few thoughts come to mind. The main issue is keeping your lawn healthy and happy. Second of all Identify your grass type. What we want to know is if you have a rhizomatous grass or not. If you're not sure go to a local nursery and have them identify your grass type. The name of the game is keeping the grass thick. If you don't have a rhizomatous grass type you may need to overseed annually or semi annually to keep the grass thick. Thickening up the grass will naturally help push weeds out. It will also help keep the microbes happy and healthy.
You have to have to dial in the sprinklers. If pre emergents dry out for too long they lose there capabilities.
The pre emergents have to be put down at the right times. Buy yourself a meet thermometer and measure the ground temps. I put my pre emergents down when ground temps hover around at 50 degrees F.
If you follow these steps you'll be fine. First and foremost keep the grass thick.
Hey Ginja, thank you for helping us identify the crabgrass. I've had some problems identifying weeds. I'm late to this video but now is the time for pre-emergent. I put mine down last week. I'm in northern illinois
Nice Jay!
Best lawn info I have ever seen. Wish I had seen this or knew about it eons ago. Thank you!!!
Thanks Glenn! really appreciate the feedback.
I agree very detailed info. Thanks Ginja! Now I just need to try to identify what grass is my lawn. {besides all the crabgrass, plus several other weeds} :)
Get on it Bowtie!! Go slay that lawn
Thanks for posting
You're welcome don! Thanks for the comment. have a great day.
I learn so much watching your videos brother!! "Professor Ginga" class is in session!!!!
Thanks Patrick! I really appreciate the support
Excellent information! Thx!
This is soooooo helpful! Can’t hit the thumbs up enough times to express my gratitude! 😻😻😻😻😻 Thank you for sharing how to identify and get rid if these weeds and those tall fescue bunches. I have quite a few of those tttf bunches!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video! Thanks for taking the time. Very knowledgeable.
Thanks Ohio Ham!! Thanks for watching!
Excellent stuff Dr Ginja. Keep up the good work sir.
Thanks!
best intro on controlling lawn weeds from the pro!
Thanks for the comment!!! Super nice of you. Thanks for watching my videos.
Learned a lot with your video. Finally something more productive than making my lawn greener than anyone else's!
Rad! Thanks for the feedback keith
Hey! Thanks for doing this. It's very informative. I've been studying weeds and lawn issues and how to identify which is which. And finally I found your video. It's made identifying them now a little easier. More than i knew 5mins ago despite working on thus for 2weeks. Images I've looked at are useful BUT you actually got down and really zoomed in on video to record it and I've found this much more helpful than images or other videos where they talk and talk but never get down in the soil which I think is a must in really helping a novice like myself.
I'm gonna pop out now and get down in the soil and look at them to compare and hopefully finally identify!
Thing is, I think I've prob got the majority of all you showed! How does this happen? My lawn was awesome last year after loads of work. But the UK winter just passed gave moss and boom all these cheeky weeds. Can't fathom what went wrong after years of no issues other than low grade grass and soil which I improved and it looked gorgeous.
Anyway cheers....gonna go look now!! 👍
Holy Smokes! I can't keep all of that straight. I did not know there were annual, and biannual grasses. I will have to watch this 10 times.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the clarification!
You bet!
Dude You are freaking awesome and lawn doctor just what I needed Thank You. My lawn is in pretty bad shape and I don't know what to do about it. I'm going to save this video thanks again....
You can do it! Slay that lawn!
Seriously one of the best videos on TH-cam for this subject...well done! Are you in the Midwest?
Hey Mark! Appreciate the incredible compliment. I'm located in Utah.
Dam I never realized how many different kinds of grass there is. Geez trying to learn all of the things to do to a lawn is like having another full time job. 😳
Exactly!
Thanks for the lesson! I've learned a lot!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
I'm learning about crab Grass in this And this video really did help me control and get rid of a lot of weeds especially crabgrass which destroyed my Lawn. I enjoy his videos in their very educational also Very well explained thank you and I will do as recommended appreciate you to for having channels like this period enjoy guys
Wonderful! Love that you're finding value!
I want a yard that is full of that bunching tall fescue. I love that stuff.
To each there own. It's a hardy grass. Not so inviting on the feet though
@@BlueRage if you're referring to bunching tall fescue not so much. There are soo many varieties of tall fescue and rtf tall fescue is one of my favorites because the root depth can exceed 15". In return it really helps with drought stress once established. A california favorite blend
"If you're within two or three weeks of the first freeze"
Ugh, it's too bad I live in FL and it's basically infinite summer here, haha.
Totally true! LOL
Late to the show as always. This year I just started to really dive into lawn care. I have been trying to identify Johnson grass for a while now and I wasn’t able to get any definitive evidence stating the distinct characteristics of the stem like you did. As soon as you plucked that piece I knew right away what I was dealing with. Thank you!!!
happy to help! Slay that Lawn!
This guy is LEGIT! Super helpful!
Thanks Chico!!!
Binge watching..... down the rabbit hole, related video vortex of Pest and Lawn Ginja. Awesome videos! Very helpful!
🤑🤑🤑 👉👊
First time home owner here. After doing days of research, this whole lawn care game is wildly confusing and overwhelming. Came looking for answers and again left feeling even more confused/overwhelmed. rip my yard.
sorry to hear. check out some of my current videos. I have lots of videos on starting points.
Once u start doing it, it will become intuitive and simple. Thats because u try to learn everything but never actually try it yet. Its like u try to learn how to swim or drive a car just by reading or watching yt video. It meant to help u in ur learning, but just doing that isnt gonna get u anywhere. U need to actually start doing it. And of course, mistake will be make, rip to ur lawn but u will get better each time
@@prumchhangsreng979 Thank you for the perspective check. Since I made this comment 2 weeks ago I have already made mistakes. The house I bought had a lawn that had not been taken care of in years so its just completely and totally overrun with weeds. This yard has become a baptism by fire as a first time home owner.
@@prumchhangsreng979 Don't go in the water until you learn how to swim.
@@bloodybones63 and did u learn how to swim in the air?
When I say do it, it mean do it with precaution, if it sth dangerous, do it under expert supervision. I can totally see that accident at backdoor gardening gonna create a blackhole. Lmao, the worst that can happen is u kill ur grass and waste those money, but would u call it a waste if u actually learn things along the way faster than just watching a video without any practice at all?
Stop going around spitting bullshit mate
One of th best videos on this subject I have ever come across. Thank you!
Wow, thank you! I'm sure you don't mean the video editing LOL
VERY Well explained. THANK YOU!
You're welcome. Glad I could help.

Excellemt video. Firoroust time I've heard such a thorough expanation. Great job. I'll watch again for sure.
Thanks for the comment Gary! Thanks for watching.
Great video! I am so glad I came across this video and your channel!! I learned a ton in a very short amount of time - instantly subscribed! Thank you for sharing your considerable knowledge 🙂
Not-so-quick question: I seem to get 3 varieties of horizontally growing grass that I assume is all “crabgrass”. One is what you showed (round pattern, long stemmed creepers). The second one is also round-patterned, typically starts with 3 thick, very white colored stems growing out into an almost frond-like pattern of smooth & pointy blades. Roundup doesn’t seem to work and I have to remove each manually with the weed weasel - luckily they have short roots. The last one grows long across the ground - like a vine. I have pulled up sections up to 18 inches long. Even if this stuff looks dead and is brown and dry it will continue to grow once it gets wet. My question is are these all considered “crab grasses”?
PS - I can’t wait to binge watch your channel 🙂!!
Sounds like some sort of stolon grass types like bermuda. I would take a sample to the local nursery. Its soo hard to get that type of grass out of the lawn IMO.
Pest and Lawn Ginja thanks for the help!! Between the Bermuda + crab grasses and these tiny wild strawberry weeds (my neighbor thought they “looked cute” but has taken over mine and others yards) I have roughly 2 sq. ft. of actual grass. Maybe I’ll just cultivate the weeds and keep my Kentucky Blue grass in planters 🙂
hahaha. If you want kentucky bluegrass you may want to try the herbicide Tenacity.

What do you think about these companies who sell plans and come out periodically for fertilization, weed control, and aeration?
Thanks for the comment. Great question. I'm part of a local service company. Here is my brief answer. If you can find a company that incorporates Macro and Micro nutrients that your local area needs there is a ton of benefits. Most granular formulations do not contain micro nutrients. Think of macro nutrients as a whole wheat pasta and micro nutrients as your fruits and vegetables for your own body. The macros stimulate growth and the micros provide nutrients to build and fortify overall health and better root growth. The micros are expensive to put into the mix and that's why its not common for companies to include them in there mix. If you ask the right questions you can find the right company for what you want. Most inexpensive lawn spray companies use micro nutrients only and that's what the cheap price gets you. Overtime the lawn uses up the available nutrients and stops giving you the great results you once had and using the macro's only stops working. Hope that helps.
Another excellent tutorial. CleAr and concise.
Thanks! It was a fun video to make
Thanks Ginja,
A timely reminder from last year! Great education. It also reminds me of my terrible mistake using Round Up last winter on my super tough weeds in my Dormant Zoysia Grass. Round is super powerful stuff and It killed the Zoysiagrass and weeds, even Now in July. Almost Nothing is growing in those areas, so now I'll be reseeding all those dead area of with new Zoysia Seeds in the next week. Other than that brother, my Zoysia lawn is best yet. But I clearly still have a way to go!
That's pretty crazy. Never really experienced that before. You may want to just start with the basics and look back into your water coverage
@@pestandlawnginja I wish I could send you a photo. So funny. Amazing Zoysia then a big hole or several connected dead areas. Ha-ha. I'll guess I'll get a small hand rake to rough up the soil and sprinkle new Zoysia seed. Then maybe cover with a 50/50 of potting soil & peat moss?
Oh yeah, you're Sooo Right about water... it's 50+% of the result. Wr are saving money for in ground sprinklers... maybe next month.
@@erickessler6094 awesome bro! I know you'll slay that lawn! I do all direct messages over facebook
You are a cool dude! Great video! I wasn't even looking for anything that had to do with crab grass or even grass. I'm nosy though and like to be educated. Nice job!
You're too kind Kimberly. Thanks for the positive vibes, they keep me going.
I was once told by a man that had worked 40 years for the park service that the best grass in the park was crab grass because it would tolerate so much foot traffic and was stronger than other grasses. Perhaps we should be happy with something that will last.
The issue is that crabgrass is an annual grass. It has a period of death. You're at the mercy that the new seeds will sprout the following season
Great explanations and show-and-tell. Thanks!
Thanks James!
This was a great explanation!! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can you do a video on how to eliminate ants and other insects from the lawn and patio that’s safe for pets?
Thanks.
Hey Robert! Thanks for the idea. I'll place it up on my white board. Really appreciate the suggestion.
I recently read that cornmeal kills them.
that is true!
Water and dawn soap works wonders
orthoboric (boric) acid kills ants, earwigs, and other insects preying on the patio plants
Roundup comes in a gel form now in a deodorant stick type application you can wipe on the leaf blades with a rubber gloved hand. So no risk spilling a bowl of roundup on your lawn.
I saw that in Walmart years ago!!! I was trying to buy one and a lady snatched all 8 of them right in front of me hahaha. Then she gave me a lecture on how walmart was discontinuing them. Never had the pleasure of trying it out.
Excellent presentation and information!
Thank you for the feedback
I like when you giggle. It's subtle. :)
like at 5:20
That's awesome!!! Makes me laugh know you laugh.
henry crabgrass led me here
LOL
Same, was looking for this.
I had to dig out my entire front yard because crab grass took over and it wouldn't die. That was a nightmare.
soo frustrating
This video has convinced me (your knowledge of lawns and grass)... I need to abandon the idea of controlling the weeds in my lawn... (South Louisiana)work and make more money, find a local guy with your level of expertise, and pay him to take care of my lawn... last time I hired a company... they sprayed a few times a year... my lawn looked pretty much the same... wrong company...the next guy will have to be able to show and talk the level of knowledge you have, thx
Hi William. just remember it all starts with water. If you focus on the watering you can get some solid results out of most lawn companies assuming they put the products down correctly.
Thanks for an informative video. One point. The leaf arrangement for the Quack grass is callers "clasping". There you go!
Thanks for that! I totally forgot. great info!
The grass is my yard keeps asking me to feed it. Its belligerence and appetite seem to grow in equal proportions, which was recently and unfortunately evident when the grass ate my boss, Mr. Mushnik.
Any advice would be appreciated.
sounds like a personal problem
Im nor a pro but have great success killing crab grass with drive accellerate, Crab grass shows signs of suffering the next day and is white and dried up in a week. I also use baby shampoo as a surfactant at 1 oz per gallon.
Drive is a great product. Sounds like you're doing it right if you're getting good results.
New sub from me! You seem to know the business when it comes to grass I appreciate you taking your time 2 "spread" the knowledge!
Thanks Brandon!!! Spreading away!
Now I know what crabgrass looks like thank you you explain this very well
You bet!
