Default Help or suggestions for killing wild Onions?

Sorry if this has been covered before. I have a problem with wild
onions in my yard. My grass is a mix of centipede and St. Augustine.
I live in the South if that is important.
I've tried some granules with mixed success. I've also used round up
but it looks bad to have large dead spots in the yard. However, if
round up is the only solution, I'll be willing to sterilize the entire
yard to get rid of the things. I dislike them that much.


Any suggestions?

If you choose to go the way of "chemical" treatments, using Broadleaf
herbicides containing 2,4-D can give you results with repeat
applications. But I believe for centipede and st Augustine grasses
reduced label rates are recommended.
