The Monterey Grass Getter Herbicide is a systemic and selective herbicide that kills weedy grasses without harming the plants. It is mainly used on flowers, ornamental groundcovers, evergreens, shrubs, trees, bedding plants, fruits and vegetables. This herbicide effectively controls crabgrass, Bermudagrass, quackgrass, foxtail and other weedy grasses. The product is best used when added at 1 oz. per gallon of water. Once applied, the grass will stop growing, will turn reddish then yellow and will die in 1-3 weeks time. Grass Getter Herbicide is also responsive and works even faster in warmer than cooler temperatures. This herbicide is best applied when weeds are actively growing and young. For some perennial grasses, it may require a second application after 7-14 days from the first application. The Monterey Grass Getter Herbicide is available in 8 ounce, pint and gallon sizes.
Note: Do not use Grass Getter on your turf grass lawn. Please refer to Zone Map and see which plants will thrive at certain zones.

Grass Getter selectively eliminates grasses out of broadleaf plants. (This is the opposite of 2,4-D products which selectively eliminate broadleaf weeds in grasses). Formerly, this product was named Poast.
What weeds does Grass Getter control?
Grass Getter is used to control annual grasses and hard-to-kill perennial grasses such as bermudagrass, johnsongrass and quackgrass. In California and Arizona, it is especially effective on perennial bermudagrass. It also controls annual grasses.
What weeds are missed with a Grass Getter application?
Grass Getter does not control broadleaf weeds, nutgrass or annual bluegrass.
How much Grass Getter should I apply?

Monterey Grass Getter Herbicide is a grass killer so it would harm or kill the centipede grass in addition to the Bermuda. It is is only meant to be used around flowers, evergreens, ornamental groundcovers, bedding plants, shrubs, trees, fruits, and vegetables. It would not harm the oak tree. We actually do not carry a product that is labeled to remove Bermuda grass from centipede. The only suggestion we can give is to kill the Bermuda with a glyphosate product and then re-seed the centipede in those areas.

Monterey Grass Getter Herbicide is a grass killer, so it will injure the St Augustine and should not be used on lawns.
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 Bermuda 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.

I put Zoysia plugs in my lawn but Bermuda grass is growing more rapidly I want to get rid of that Bermuda grass without killing my Zoysia plugs.
Monterey Grass Getter Herbicide could also harm the zoysia grass and would not be recommended for removing Bermuda. Unfortunately Bermuda grass is so closely related to Zoysia grass that there is nothing that will remove Bermuda from Zoysia and not hurt the Zoysia as well. In your situation it is recommended to spot treat the Bermuda with Round Up and kill it directly, and then replant Zoysia in those areas. We do carry some professional Round Up products.
