No such luck. Now I have weeds spread all over the lawn, some of which attach their seeds to our dog every time she goes out (several times a day). In the early summer I bought Weed B Gone for St. Augustine grass and applied it as directed. No obvious change. I applied it again last month. No obvious change. The weeds are thriving. I’m about to use Spectricide Lawn and Weed Killer which will kill everything, and I can lay sod on the dead areas in the spring. But before I take that drastic action, does anyone know of a product that actually works? I think plain water would work as good as Weed B Gone.

First, make sure your lawn weed killer is safe for the variety of St Augustine grass we have here, which is Flortam. Then make sure the weed you want to kill is listed for your weed killer.
Look for a product called Image for St Augustine grass and Centipede grass at Lowes
