Spurge has been getting worse and worse in my yard. Finally get rid of the Nutsedge and now Spurge is making a run at a takeover.

I would prefer a full yard treatment instead of spot-spraying Celsius or MSMA. Anyone have something they know about that is water-in/spray-on (not spot spray, preferably) and effective?

Spurge, thank you! Had no idea what that crap is called. It’s really bad here too.

I've been fighting spotted spurge for years in my Bermuda. Celsius or MSM Turf doesn't touch it at all. Would be very interested if anyone has an OTC post em herbicide to try.

Best bet is to have a solid pre-em plan to knock it back over the next couple of years.

Blindside will knock it out. Works well on a variety of other weeds.

I’m in the same boat but I only did a fall preemergent and nothing in the spring so I might try some trimec or 24D but mostly just live with it.

Assuming you have Bermuda since you mentioned msma. Celsius and msm work. Blindside works. You can also try Southpaw which is the two active ingredients in blindside plus dicamba. Dicamba is one of the three active ingredients in Celsius.

Spot treating while more time consuming is more cost efficient and works better.

Celsius with surfactant will take care of it.
