Default dying grass

Gday,

I live in Yass NSW, and a few weeks ago - while madly spraying my back
padock against bindies - in a moment of stupidity decided to use Zero weed
killer on a few isolated weed (trying to be careful ) on the grass near my
house. Since then, the weeds have indeed died, but also big brown patches of
grass have started to grow around where I sprayed the weed. I'm not sure if
it's my imagination, but they appear to be spreading out.

Should I be attempting to remove the dead grass? Will it just continue
spreading and kill more grass? Should I be applying anything to help the
grass kick back?

thanks,

saul.

The spray drift has also hit the kikuyu. Next time, try one of those
wiper wands. Anyway, the poison is working its way through the
roots/rhizomes. It will probably stop when it runs out of root/rhizome.
