Can you use Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide in St Augustine grass to control a Bermuda grass invasion?

I have several patches of Bermuda growing in the yard. I want an herbicide that will knock it down.

Answer:

No, Gordons Ornamec 170 will kill your St Augustine turfgrass. Unfortunately, Bermuda grass is so closely related to St. Augustine grass that there is nothing that will remove Bermuda from St. Augustine and not hurt the St. Augustine as well.  In your situation, it is recommended to spot treat the Bermuda with Round Up and kill it directly, and then replant St. Augustine in those areas. We do carry some professional round up products:  http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/nonselective-herbicides-c-188_408.html
