So, what you are saying, is that it controls it pretty good, but doesn't eliminate it!!?? That's understandable, when applications are every other month. I wonder if people with St Augustine, have the Bermuda problem?

Actually, the Bermuda pretty much does get eliminated. But by the time 2 months goes by until your next treatment, new stuff germinates. I don't think you can do much better.

I think you have crabgrass taking over, get some weed and feed and apply as directed. it should help get rid of it.

Its definitely Bermuda, beyond a doubt!! I killed an area in back yard, and will substitute with St Augustine ! (still green and covers good once grown in)

Possibly it is cross-contamination from the lawn crews.

Interesting point - how come none of the lawn companies know about weed and feed??? Maybe it would put them out of business?
