Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide is labeled for bermuda grass suppression, and would not hurt a Zoysia Lawn. Unfortunately, there is no herbicide that will completely kill bermuda grass in a lawn. However, you can use a product like Acclaim that when used multiple times can supress the bermuda enough to allow the other healthy turf in the area to fill in and literally smother it out eventually. Please be aware that if you have lawns on either side of yours that either contain bermuda or are all bermuda the potential for that grass to re-invade is there.
Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide is a great herbicide that is labeled to treat Japanese stiltgrass in an ornamental iris bed.
You will use 1 tsp. of the Non-Ionic Surfactant for Herbicides per gallon of water with Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide.
A pre-emergent herbicide such as Pendulum Aqua Cap would help with prevention but will not treat actively growing Japanese Stiltgrass. We would suggest a selective post-emergent such as Acclaim. Acclaim Extra is a selective post-emergence herbicide that controls annual and perennial grasses in turf including Japanese Stiltgrass. Please refer to product label for specific applications to your turfgrass.
There are several different surfactants that can be used with Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide. Kinetic Nonionic Surfactant would be a good choice.
Mixing three different post-emergent herbicides together at once would put a lot of stress on your desirable grass and usually would not be recommended.

Keep in mind that Bermuda grass may require multiple applications to eradicate, especially if it is already established.

Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide will control seedling Johnsongrass, and it will suppress rhizome Johnsongrass and is safe for use in fine fescue. Apply Acclaim Extra Herbicide at 20 fluid ounces per acre (0.46 fluid ounce/1000 sq. ft.) as soon as common Bermudagrass or rhizome Johnsongrass begins growth. Repeat applications of Acclaim Extra every 28 to 35 days to continue growth suppression of these species. Do not apply more than a total of 120 fluid ounces per acre (2.75 fluid ounces/1000 sq.ft.) per growing season.
Please see the product label for complete application instructions.

It would be best to call your local county extension office for when to apply any type of herbicides or insecticides in your area. They would know better than we would since we are not the manufacturer and we live in Georgia. They will know exactly when you should apply it in your specific county.
