If you are just looking to kill existing grass in a small area, you should treat with a professional glyphosate product like our Ranger Pro product.  This kills grass for longer than typical round up, but eventually it will grow back.  If you really do not want anything to grow back, you can use a soil sterilant.  These products need to be used according to the label though, they are very powerful and can move through the soil, so if there is anything around the posts you would want to not kill, you should not use a soil sterilant.

Ranger Pro is formulated as a water-soluble liquid with surfactant, therefore no additional surfactant is needed. Ranger Pro moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact to and into the root system. It is then absorbed into the soil and breaks down naturally, and therefore will not spread through the ground and kill neighboring plants. Please refer to dilution table on page 3 of the product label for different strengths of dilution.

While Ranger Pro is a non-selective herbicide that will kill any plants treated with it, glyphosate usually will not completely kill the underground nutlets of nutsedge. Our most popular herbicides for nutsedge that will kill the plants more effectively are Sedgehammer and Dismiss Turf Herbicide.
