Homeowner in Texas cannot obtain effective quinclorac-based crabgrass killer for established crabgrass due to shipping restrictions, and over-the-counter product (Ferti-lome) is ineffective.
Effective professional-grade herbicides like Drive XLR8 require a license and cannot be shipped to Texas consumers, leaving only ineffective consumer products.
