I have about 1/4 of my front yard covered by a mat if Bahia that is somewhat green right now. Can I hit it with glyphosate and not damage the adjacent centipede too much? In Mandeville.

MSM Turf (methsulfuron methyl) or sethoxydim. But sure, if you have a large areas of bahiagrass you can use glyphosate, but your job to minimize overspray on the centipede.

I live in an area that was once dairy pasture so lot of bahiagrass. Centipede lawn. I eliminated with MSM Turf - it took a couple years.

MSM. Effective and cheap. It’s got to be one of the best bargains in weed control.
