Default Help or suggestions for killing wild Onions?

Don`t panic, the solution is simple. Round-up kills everything, it`s
not what you want because it will kill your good grass. Use 24-D,
commercially known as weed-B-gone. I`ts expensive as hell if you buy it
retail. I recommend a company called Agri-Supply, it`s a third of the
cost and you can hose down the entire lawn as it does`nt harm grass. It
is a contact herbicide so the onion has to be up for it to be
effective. Remember to thatch and re-seed when the onion dies.

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?
