NuFarm Polaris Herbicide is labeled to control Cogongrass, but it is not labeled for kudzu. While the ingredients in Polaris should in theory be able to do at least some damage on the kudzu, you may find you need to mix in some Roundup, or a brush killer type product such as Crossbow Herbicide to achieve full results on vine type plants such as kudzu. Keep in mind anywhere you use the Polaris should be outside the root zone of any desirable vegetation since this can sterilize the soil and prevent new growth for a period of time.

Unfortunately, after reviewing multiple products, it appears that there is not a product specifically labeled for this weed in lawns. We would recommend using a non selective herbicide containing glyphosate such as RoundUp QuickPro to spot treat the weeds directly and then reseeding/resodding after 2 weeks.
