Post a picture of it where it is growing, and describe the height, when it appears, and when it flower/what color the flowers are...

It is Japanese Stiltgrass. And it is very hard to control. It is an annual but it drops alot of seed and comes back next year. It is going to seed right now and killing the plant will probably leave seed for next year anyway. So I believe it is too late to spray now. I will use Dimension (Dithiopyr) a preemergent next spring and then decide whether a spray is necessary later in the summer.

Tenacity might work, check the label. I just heard that Acclaim works and it is labeled for stiltgrass.

Thanks Kimpa.
It is growing with the weeds behind our houses and spreading into our lawns.
Very invasive
Looks like hand pulling is about the only option in the lawn.
