Crabgrass is an annual grass that comes up from seed every year. The crabgrass preventer will prevent the seeds from germinating. A good time to apply it is when the ground temperature is around 55 to 60 degrees. If you are in doubt about when to apply, try calling some lawn and landscaping companies in your area. Note that the preventer will also keep other desirable seeds from germinating, so you may have to wait until late summer or fall to reseed those areas with grass.

There are several out there. I posted one example below. After the crabgrass has been eliminated or greatly reduced then re-seed your lawn. Treat your lawn with a crabgrass killer.
