How do I kill zoysia in bluegrass?

My neighbor's zoysia has crept into my bluegrass lawn. It has taken over about 1/3 of my lawn. The current owner wants to eradicate the zoysia in his lawn, too. The zoysia covers almost 3/4 of his lawn. What kills zoysia? What precautions with this product ? How soon after spraying the zoysia killer can I sod or seed with new Kentucky Blue grass ?

Answer:

There is not a product available that will kill the zoysia without also harming the bluegrass.  In this case it is best to spot treat it with a non selective such as GlyPhoSel Pro and then reseed the KGB.  Also just to kill off the zoysia completely in his lawn.  It might take a few applications and would be best in the spring as it starts to green up or fall when it is going into dormancy.  You can reseed the areas 2 weeks after treating.
