| Other than pulling these out by hand, can anyone recommend a herbicide by name [specifically for Bermuda] that won't detroy/burn the existing and new growth Bermuda?
Also please provide the proper steps, ex: 1. Pull what you can by hand
This is for an established lawn -- no sod/new seed concerns. Thanks in advance. |

| Something with 2,4-d like weed-b-gone max should do it. Just don't use it above 85. |

| weed -b-gone at half strength if over 85. try it on a small area to see how your grass will handle it. Next year put down a pre-emergant in the spring to prevent weeds. Also in the fall. You may be able to do it now but i am not sure about a summer application. |

| Its my understand that bermuda type grass cannot stand up to being given a broad leafed weed killer. Weeds, as well as the grass itself, will be badly affected. How to manage such a lawn with weeds.... grow another type grass that can be given a herbicide without danger. |

Huh? where did you get that piece of misinformation? There are very few herbicides that will even phase Bermuda, and Bermuda grass eats broad-leaf weed killers for dessert. Round Up will just make it angry and will take revenge. |
