Roundup Pro Concentrate can be applied as a spot treatment to lawns for weeds. It will pretty much kill what it touches, so you should avoid contact with desirable plants. If you would like further assistance selecting a product, you may reach our Customer Service staff at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-5p EST.
RoundUp Pro Concentrate is mixed at 0.5-10.5 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. Please refer to the product label for the specific dilution ratio that fits your needs on the targeted weeds/grasses.
RoundUp Pro Concentrate should be rainfast in an hour after application per the product label.
Roundup Pro Concentrate is rainfast after 6 hours. It is recommended that it not rain within that time frame. If it does, the product should be reapplied.
How many finished gallons you get from the Roundup Pro Concentrate 2.5 gallon jug depends on the dilution rate used. Per the product label you can use 0.5 fl to 10.5 fl oz per gallon of water depending on the weeds you need to treat. So at the lowest it can make 640 gallons or at the highest rate, approximately 30 gallons.
Unfortunately, Bermuda grass is so closely related to St. Augustine grass that there is really nothing that will remove Bermuda from St. Augustine and not hurt the St. Augustine as well. In your situation it is recommended to spot treat the Bermuda with a Roundup-type product to kill it directly, and then replant St. Augustine in those areas. We do have some professional Roundup products available on our website here.
You would use 1 gallon of water along with 1 oz of Roundup Pro Concentrate for a 0.8% mixture ratio. Please see the label for additional mixture ratios offered.
You can use RoundUp Pro Concentrate at the highest listed usage rate to help eliminate bamboo. You will be required to cut the bamboo down to a short stump and then apply the RoundUp Pro. It can take several applications to achieve the desired results. You should contact your local cooperative extension office and speak to the master gardener on staff to see if you will be required to till your yard or if you can seed and fertilize only.

We recommend using a glyphosate based product over the entire lawn if you are looking to start with bare ground. You can usually reseed or lay sod within 14 days of the application. You should do the glyphosate application after the existing grass has greened up for the best efficacy. Round Up Pro should work well for your needs.
