Default St. Augustine grass

How can one kill St. Augustine grass? My neoghbour has
St. Augustine grass which is infiltraing my lawn of Bermuda grass.
***********

1st - any number of weed and grass killers can eliminate st aug, some
fertilizers as well. Spray the invading with your choice, just ask a local
nursery.

2nd - use your edger to cut a line between you and your neighbors lawn, this
will weaken the st aug runners and cause it to die.

3rd - use a tine rake and rake out the st aug runner from your grass, so
that it won't try to take up root. Once out, overseed with more bermuda, as
it will choke out the st aug after a few years, (if in direct sun) -- st aug
will overtake in shady areas

good luck
