In Illinois we call it crab grass.

Thanks for the suggestion. . .It sounds like you treat Bermuda, similar
to the way I do. I know some parts of the country do use Bermuda as a
turf, but I hate the way it looks in the Winter here in Sacramento. It
turns brown, leaving the remainder of lawn looking fairly green.

I have one area in my back yard that gets considerable sun, and that is
where it is most virulent. I have taken to just spending sessions out
there on a cushion, digging out what I can, and using a sponge brush to
saturate what root tops I can see with Weed B-Gon. I do that without
diluting it, just straight out of the can. . .That's how desperate I've
been with this stuff.

And yes, when it gets into the flower beds, it can be a nightmare!

But it does get into flower beds, etc..... the best way I've found to
keep
it under control is to mulch where necessary and use Round Up where
needed.... if I can't spray Round Up, I brush it on.

Does anyone have a tried and true Bermuda grass remedy? It seems most
research I've done, only gives some temporary relief from this lawn
pest.
