Triclopyr Ester is not labeled to control Bermuda grass in red fescue so we cannot recommend it for this use. It can be used in perennial bluegrass for it though.
Bayer Bermuda Grass Control helps to rid your lawn of Bermuda grass and crab grass without harming your fescue or Kentucky bluegrass. This product does not harm lawns when used as directed and can withstand rain one hour after application. We want to be clear that bermuda can be suppressed, but it is VERY difficult to kill completely. It will take multiple treatments to finally kill it. It is a ready to use product so should not be mixed with anything.
The other option for you is to spray glyphosate product such as Gly Pho-Sel Pro or Ranger Pro on the bermuda when it is green in early August, wait three weeks to see if any bermuda survives and spray again by early September if needed and then re-seed the spots with fescue in mid-September
Hi-Yield Triclopyr Ester is mixed at 3/8 - 3/4 oz. per 1 gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft.
Hi-Yield Triclopyr Ester should not be applied to buffalograss.
Wiregrass is a form of bermudagrass, so to start we want to be clear that Bermuda can be suppressed but it is VERY difficult to kill completely. It will take multiple applications to kill completely but Fusilade is normally the go-to product for this issue, though it states on the label it is not for residential lawns. Other options are Turflon Ester or Acclaim which do not list this restriction on the labels. The best time to apply any product would be in the Spring as the Bermuda is just starting to green up; Fall applications would have limited or no result since the grass is going into dormancy.
