My builder put bermuda sod in my front yard when my house was built over two years ago. I paid for zoysia so I had him tear out the bermuda and replant zoysia sod. Some of the bermuda took root and has been growing through the zoysia sod. I want to keep the zoysia and kill the bermuda. It has been two years and the zoysia does not seem to choke out the bermuda. I have my lawn treated by a company. Does anyone have any ideas?

There are a couple of herbicides that are somewhat selective in attacking bermuda. Fluaziflop, sold as fusillade is the only one I’ve found locally in Atlanta. The other one (I forget what it is called, can be obtained, but the only size is a gallon and it is $300+)

I needed 6 ounces of fusillade to carry me for the next 2 years, but had to buy a gallon at well over $100…

Kylein where did you buy your Fluaziflop in Atlanta. I called Lesco of Marietta, and they said that I needed some type of chemical licence. I live in Atlanta.
