# How to Kill Water Grass Weeds
Water grass is a name often used to reference crabgrass. This type of weed is an annual and will come back year after year. Water grass invades wet lawns and continues to take over the landscape if it is not properly treated and killed. The weeds may be pulled manually or killed with a selective weed killer spray. Wear gardening gloves to protect your hands when removing water grass weeds.
