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.


I find that if I use a fork and/or shovel to loosen the soil where the
wild onions are growing, I can pull them out. Then I lay the offenders
on a rock in the sun for a week or so 'til they are too dry to grow.
