It took me several seasons to figure out how to maintain a bermuda lawn after moving to Dallas from SoCal. Then my neighbor decided to replace his bermuda with St. Augustine. They creep in both directions, but I think I’m loosing the battle.
How do I control the spread of his St. Augustine without killing my bermuda?

I am losing the battle of keeping my neighbors St Augustine out of my Tif bermuda lawn. There used to be a spray i could use and it worked well but the government banned it’s use and I have not found any other spray that works. I have back issues so geting down and pulling the St Augustine out is out of the question. Anyone know any sprays that are available?

I found some MSMA at an old nursery on the edge of town that was closing up shop. That is about the only thing that works if you can find it. It won’t be on the store shelves at Lowes or Home Depot or and major garden retail shop. I’ve been spraying every two weeks and the St. Ag is dying and it hasn’t hurt the Burmuda. Looks like it will take all summer to kill it and then I plan to install a physical barrier or it will just creep back.

MSMA and Sencor work very well, or you can try quinclorac(Drive75df)if you cant find any MSMA. quinclorac will hurt the ST Aug and give the bermuda a better chance, also try mowing at a lower height, bermuda can tolerate much lower mowing heights than St Aug.
