To kill weeds like Kyllinga or anything in that family you would typically need a concentrated sprayable product, rather than a granule or anything that is a weed and feed as it will usually not be as impactful on that species.
Sedgehammer + Herbicide is a great choice for spot treating Kyllinga in lawns and comes pre measured and mixed with a surfactant already for better stick and burn down of the target weeds. If you have a large area to treat Sedgehammer also comes in a bottle size that would cover roughly an acre. You would need to use a Non Ionic Surfactant to mix in the tank when applying.
Kyllinga, like nutsedge, will often take multiple applications to see full control, and results will usually be slow to get the best control over the entire plant including the roots. Follow up applications can be made after 6 weeks if needed.
Take a moment to review this article on Green Kyllinga by the NC Extension Office for some addtional information.

The Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed 3 should be applied to lawns that are already wet or damp from a previous irrigation, rain, or morning dew before applying, so that the granules stick to the leaf surface of the grass and weeds. Since this is a post-emergent herbicide, no watering in or rain is recommended, like other granules on the market, to avoid washing the granules from the surface. In situations like this, we recommend keeping pets out of the treated area at the very least for several hours up to a day after treatment if possible. There are no specific mentions of pet safety on the manufacturer's product label, so if you'd like to confirm the pet safety or ask any additional questions, you can reach the manufacturer directly at 800-543-8873.
