There are many ways to control crab grass, non-herbicidal and herbicidal but the best way is to maintain a lawn with conditions unsuitable for crab grass growth i.e. a correctly fertilized, thick and well watered lawn. Existing crab grass can be pulled out with a hoe so that their roots dry out.
Did you mean crab grass on your beds or lawn? If it is on your flower beds I have also heard that you can use a vinegar/liquid dish washing detergent mixture (1 gallon white vinegar and 8 drops of detergent) to kill the crab grass by spraying.
