Will Ornamec kill St Augustine grass?

I have Bermuda grass mixed in with my St. Augustine and I am looking for a pesticide that will kill Bermuda and not St Ausgustine.

Answer:

Yes, Gordons Ornamec Over-The-Top Grass Herbicide will kill St. Augustine turf.  Unfortunately, because Bermuda and St. Augustine grasses are closely related, there is not really a product that will remove the Bermuda without also harming the St Augustine. We recommend that you spot treat the Bermuda as much as possible with a non-selective glyphosate product and then replant with St. Augustine in those areas in a couple of weeks when the Bermuda is gone. .
