Bentgrass Removal

Some how I appear to have ended up with creeping bentgrass through out my lawn. This is creating a major problem since I have no intention of mowing and watering every day. Question, are there any chemicals which will kill bent grass while leaving the rest of the lawn alive, or do I need to kill the entire lawn and start over?

Tran-Xit will probably do the job, but very, very pricy.

Turfmaster – where can I pick up TranXit. I’m a home owner and have researched this on the DuPont web site. The website refers to Poa Annua – is that similar to Bent Grass? Also, will TranXit damage Bluegrass, fescue, or perrenial rye?

Thanks

Just don’t water it. It will die out. Wilt is the greatest cause of death to bent grass.
