If you've got time, then water, fertillizer, and frequent use of the
lawnmower will take care of it for you. Quack grass is not competitive in a
well cared for lawn (but it is competitive along the fences and edges and
everywhere that doesn't get mowed every time).

Time = years and years.

My front yard is infested with this stuff, used to think it was all other
kinds of noxious weed, but finally pulled some of it, did the
identification
via examining the stems and leafs, and zeroed it to quackgrass.

Am I just basically screwed and resigned to pulling it out with my hands?
This stuff is super highly aggressive - and it looks uglier than hell to
boot! I might mention, I don't want to destroy my lawn in the process of
eliminating it. If said task isn't going to be possible, that too is fine
as it narrows down my options.
