I need help really bad. I purchased my house about 2 years ago and my lawn is really looks good. I have worked hard to make it one of the best yards in the neighborhood. I have bermuda grass but my surrounding neighbors have St.Augustine and it has creeped into my yard. It is trying to take over. I want to kill the St. Augustine without harming my precious Bermuda. Can anyone help me with information? I live in central texas about 45min north of austin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem and solved it using a herbicide that is tolerated by bermuda but not St.A. Try something with either 2,4-D or MSMA. The product label should show different application rates for bermuda and St.A. so use the one for bermuda. Does not matter if you have any weeds to kill; just treat the St.A. as if it were a weed.
