Fusilade II Herbicide works fast, moving quickly into the shoots, roots, rhizomes, stolons and growing points of any of the listed treated plants. It should only be applied as directed for the control of grass weeds in landscape areas, roadsides, nurseries, greenhouses, flower beds, groundcovers, interiorscapes, parks, sports fields, golf courses, commercial and residential areas.
Per manufacturer: Fusilade II works best when applied to the green foliage of actively growing grassy weeds. Cool season turfgrass sod has the best chance of success when laid on a prepared bare soil area, so there shouldn’t be any plant cover present, weeds or turf. If prepared properly, there should not be a need to apply Fusilade II until grassy weeds appear in the new established sod. There would be no weed control benefit to applying Fusilade II to bare soil prior to sodding.

Since wiregrass is also a species of Bermudagrass, there is not a product available that would selectively remove it and not harm you Bermudagrass lawn.

No, using Dawn Dish Soap in place of a Non Ionic Surfactant with Fusilade II Herbicide would not be recommended as this is off label usage and not advised per the manufacturer or DoMyOwn.com. The use of dish soap will also foam up in the tank sprayer and cause difficuties to apply the herbicide effectively.
