Atrazine and Image are your two herbicides. Spray with atrazine first then wait a week or so and spot treat. Image works on broadleafs and nutsedges and crabgrass. Image is a slow kill however (weeks not days). In a hurry? It is okay to tank mix Image and atrazine (I personally recommend using both at 75% of recommended strength not 100% if mixed together). Spray when temperature is below 85F outside.

Good luck.

Ted i basicly just bought the seed from Home Depot & spread it on my lawn.It took a year to come out but it did.I guess the weather here helps tremendously.I live in LA,Ca.Now i just have to control my weed problem so the runners could really take over!Thanx for the advice Alex i’ll give it a shot.
