8 years I have tried killing these weeds, they won’t die with commercial
strength weed killers. In.the
last 5 years, I have hired 3 different la escape companies. Each has claimed
they can kill them. No success. I
finally had a landscape company remove all of my beautiful plants. Any
ideas?

A. Judging from the seed heads I saw in the
picture this is common Bermudagrass. Some people call it devils grass. A single application of a weed killer will not be enough. It will laugh you.If you try to dig it up or rototill it… hahahahahaha… You have just propagated it in multiple other locations.
You can
guess why to get this under control takes a lot of perseverance and repeat
spraying about two weeks apart. Spray it, kill it to the soil. Let it regrow 45
inches then kill it again. You have to do this for a five times in a row to get
any kind of control.
Roundup concentrate at a 2% solution (2 ounces per gallon)
will kill it back. When it regrow is a few inches, kill it again to the ground.
Do this over and over and you’ll begin to exhaust the roots. This is the only
way to get any control of this weed.
If it’s growing close to plants that you
are afraid be damaged, use a produt called Fusilade In the same way.
