Default Bahaya Grass

What's the best way to take care of Bahaya grass infestation in a Fescue

Thanks,


I've seen more infestation of Bahalia grass this year in our area than
I've ever seen before. I think our spring storms & tornado spread the
seed over a wide area. I think it's tougher to control than Bermuda.
I cut it short & used spot treatment of 'roundup' to kill it. (Cut the
bottom off a 16oz plastic bottle, place firmly over the plant, and
spray in the neck of the bottle.) It left little brown circles in the
yard for a while but filled in pretty fast. Of course if you have a
lot of it, that wouldn't work too well.
