Default Crab Grass - Too Late?

You can use "Crabgrass Killer" in the middle of Summer. That will kill the
plants before they drop seeds for next year's crop. A pre-emergent killer
next year will help, also.

Is it too late to lay down a pre-emergent? I've been so tied up with work
and other stuff that I haven't had a chance up to now, but I'm guessing I
should save my money and just live with it this year (again!).

I generally use corn glutton meal on the lawn but have a few really

stubborn
areas along the driveway and sidewalk so I thought I'd use a stronger
solution on those places.

I live just outside of Boston, MA (Zone 6 I think).

Thanks.
