Dallisgrass has taken over my lawn

This stuff is really fricking annoying. I am not familiar with this type of weed (only the illegal kind
) so any help would be appreciated. I've been removing it by hand but it is rapidly growing more and more all over the lawn. I don't even care about the short, unattractive part of it. It is the tall, thin stalk that is driving me crazy.

I get it occasionally, the best remedy I have found is to dig up the entire rootball and plant and put some topsoil/sand mixture in the hole.

Mow more often.

1.5 oz Southern Weed B gone mixed with 1 gallon of water. Saturate the weed. Never pull them. Wen you pull them you end up dropping more seeds which in return will spread.

Can be sprayed on bermudagrass. Not sure about centipede or st aug

I kill with roundup. The St. Aug comes back and covers in no time.

I have this problem in certain spots in my yard. It grows so much faster than my St aug grass making the yard look terrible if I don't cut every 3 days or so. Ive looked around online, but it doesn't look like there's anything that will kill it without harming the St aug. I read that you just have to cut it before the seed stalks grow and let the St aug take over. But again, its hard to cut your grass 3 times week!

Home Depot sells some stuff that specifically says it kills Dallisgrass. I went and looked to see if I still had some but couldn't find the bottle. It'll kill it and everything around it so there will be brown spots to look at. I do mine in the winter usually

What kind of lawn do you have?

MSMA or depending on how big yard is or how much it is, put on a latex doctors exam glove, dip your fingers in straight roundup out of the jug, liberally apply it to the shaft of the grass.

Pretty much got rid of all of the dallis grass in my yard by digging it out. After a rain, used a small shovel and dug out the clumps along with the roots. Don't have to dig deep. Actually, just use the shovel to slice the dirt under the roots and the clump pulls right out. Does not leave a big hole and good grass takes over. Took forever the first time but pretty much have it under control now. Whatever you do, do not let the long stems develop seeds on the ends. Pull out all of the stems whenever you see them growing until you can dig out the clumps.
This is a grass and not a weed. Roundup will kill it but it will also kill all of the other grasses around it. Weed killers will not stop it.
Word of advice, if you ride a recreational vehicle in a field with dallis grass, be sure to not ride the vehicle in your yard until the vehicle has been hosed off of all of the seeds that may have become attached to it. Remember to not wash the seeds off in your yard also.
