    Q
    Alternative recommendation for Drive XLR8?
    I live in NY and see that Drive XLR8 can't be shipped to NY, do you have an alternative recommendation for post emergent crabgrass killer? I have a typical NE lawn (Kentucky bluegrass and tall rescue). Many thanks!
    A
    You could use the product called QuinKill Max Crabgrass and Weed Killer. It is actually the same product as the Drive just made by a different manufaturer who happened to have registered their product with your state. You can see the full instructions of how to use it on the Product Label. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
