That looks like 0.41% of Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl. That is a lower concentration likely formulated for homeowner use. Acclaim has 6.59% concentration of Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl and purchasing it that way may be more affordable in the long run. Another herbicide is Fluazifop-P-butyl (brand name Fusilade II) that is the same category herbicide as Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl. Fluazifop-P-butyl (Fusilade II) needs to be applied at lower concentrations during cool seasons because it hurts Bermudagrass and Fescues, it just hurts Bermudagrass much more. Multiple light applications are required. I'm planning on applying it to my tall fescue lawn twice annually, fall and spring. Another method I read about is a cocktail of Fluazifop-P-butyl and Triclopyr. Something about the combination makes it more effective on bermudagrass.
I have Bermuda grass invading my flower beds where I have roses, lemon trees, honeysuckle, lavender, and hydrangea.....Is it okay to spray on the areas around the base of the roses? The Bermuda is completely overtaking the bases of the roses and is all through the flowerbeds. I'll definitely spray the lawn outside of the beds and be careful when spraying near the hydrangea (as was mentioned in a previous comment). My main concern is for the honeysuckle and roses. Any experience with this?? Thanks so much for the video! My #1 enemy right now is Bermuda taking over my fescue and choking my flowerbeds!
Good Question...You can seed fescue or ryegrass immediately after treatment. You have to wait 3 weeks if you are seeding Kentucky Blue Grass. If you have already seeded and want to put an application of this Bermuda Grass Control down, wait at least 1 month (or three for Kentucky Bluegrass) The same applies if you are putting down sod instead of seeding. Personally, I wanted to try it out, so I sprayed an area and overseeded with Fescue a few weeks back. I do have seedlings growing now about a couple inches tall. This area did not look any different than an area next to it that I did not spray so for me, their claim of being able to overseed right after application checks out.
It will hurt nearby shrubs with the overspray. I have seen it on hydrangeas, azelias and camellias. A high enough dose (I'm talking drenching the plant) may kill it. But in my experience, where the overspray landed on the leaves, cause brown spots to appear. worst was the hydrangea which cause noticeable leaf dieback. Exercise caution and spray low to the ground when near plants.
It kills the Bermudagrass (among others) completely down to the root. Although several applications may be required due to the aggressive nature of Bermudagrass.
U will never get rid of that Bermuda in ur lawn...u can only suppress with well timed applications of certain herbicides. That specific product u used didn't work for me.
It’s true that Bermuda grass is extremely difficult to get rid of. It grows aggressively above and below ground by stolons and rhizomes respectively. If any untreated neighboring areas such as neighbors yards have it, you will constantly be beating it back. Over the course of last summer I applied this product twice and it killed all the Bermuda grass. I fully expect that there may be dormant seeds that will spring into growth this year, so getting rid of it may require several treatments along with a cutting plan that minimizes the spread of Bermuda seeds. It’s also a function of how well your fescue lawn is doing. If fescue is thick and lush, it will take longer for Bermuda to establish. If it’s patchy and sparse, Bermuda has highway to takeover. This product will give the fescue a fighting chance against Bermuda and near worst, becomes a regular treatment product. I intend to post a follow up video this summer on how the lawn is doing.

But I heard it doesn't kill it or get rid of it. It just suppresses it for a while and then it comes back next year.

3:50 the directions specifically say you have to apply 2x! sometimes more!
After applying this Bermuda control for lawn how long before I can reseed ? Thanks.

When can I apply this to a newly seeded turf tuff tall fescue lawn? I seeded about 3 weeks ago.
You should be fine to use this after 7-21 days of seeding. The is a Post-Emergent.
Will it kill other plants in over spray? I'm in CA and want to remove Bermuda grass.

@@hammerpine OK. Started with first spray so will see how it goes. thanks.
Do you know if it kills it completely, or just the above ground part?
It kills the Bermudagrass (among others) completely down to the root. Although several applications may be required due to the aggressive nature of Bermudagrass.
it does not kill it to the root. It is only used as a control. You have to keep respraying every season.
It only makes bermuda dormant.
So you don’t want to try to rake that stuff out after killing it? 😬🤔
Raking or Thatching would be good but that would damage the other grass. I'd use a liquid like Thatch Buster or D-Thatch to break it down.
The sound was bad could hear it.
I hate!!! Bermuda grass!!!
It gets into everything else. Like your gardens, driveway and sidewalks.
@crand20033 it's the true devil's lettuce.
updates??
Same. Any updates?
no update needed. This must be sprayed every season, or else bermuda will grow back.
I know. I have first hand experience with this product.
@@kkp4297yea that’s just false double k. I used this three years ago and it cleared it up never to return.

False, this product worked outstanding for me.
Embrace the Bermuda grass. There is nothing more beautiful than a Bermuda lawn.
only in hell.
Invasive, royal pain.
ugly
Bermudan grass is awful and looks awful.
