Do you have to use pre emergent herbicide on crabgrass?

In areas with long growing seasons, crabgrass can germinate for a long season as well. Pre-emergent herbicides have a defined effectiveness period, so it might become necessary to apply pre-emergent herbicides several times over the course of the season to keep the area weed-free.

When is the best time to kill crabgrass?

In summer, the crabgrass plant matures and produces more seed until it dies when cold weather arrives. A single spring application of pre-emergent might be sufficient to eliminate crabgrass in a cold climate location.

How long does it take for crabgrass seed to germinate?

It germinates when soil temperatures reach between 55 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit, the average temperature during the spring and fall seasons in most areas. Ungerminated seeds live in the soil for up to 30 years before sprouting. A single crabgrass plant can produce 150,000 seeds during the growing season.
