Centipede and St Aug are sensitive to 2,4-D. If you don't calibrate your sprayer and mix correctly, you can hurt your lawn. Bermuda is a narrow leaf grass, it doesn't even know when 2,4-D hits it. Atrazine is the #1 used chemical in the world (no lie). It is slow acting, but effective.

You can use 2,4-D product on your lawn, just be precise in application

geauxcats, I can't remember if you live by me, or just hunt by me, but I'd come take a look if ya wanted. Hopefully white cans are allowed at your premise.

White cans are always allowed here!

I live in St. Amant...

I think I fricked up though... I put 20 oz of 2-4-d in with 20 gallons of water. I sprayed Thursday morning and already my tall weeds and clover are starting to wilt.

How bad is this?!

Can't say, because I don't know how you calibrated (how slow you spray, any overlapping, coverage, etc.) But 1oz per gallon isn't terrible. If the weeds are wilting, but the turf grass isn't, you did well.

Really you should spray the whole thing in Gramoxone.

Kill the green, but not the root. Key chemical on pond/ditch banks.
