Lawn care help - I screwed up

So I think I fricked up my yard.
My yard was half St. Augustine, half bermuda and I think I accidentally killed the bermuda
Here is the St. Augustine
and here is where the bermuda was...
I sprayed atrazine and 2,4 D back in early March about 2 weeks apart, could that have killed the bermuda?
weeds are starting to take over since nothing was growing
is there anyway to fix this without re-sodding this year? should I just let the weeds take over and mow it often and re sod next year?
or put out some new topsoil and re-seed?
or keep fertilizing the crap out of the St. Aug so it spreads and eventually takes over the entire yard?

Per the LSU Ag manual, dormant Bermuda is susceptible to injury from atrazine. I doubt you killed it, I don't think anything will kill Bermuda.

when you get done killing yours can you come to my house and do mine?

If you made the application while the bermuda was actively growing then you will injure. Depending on the formulation you used and the rate applied you can kill the bermuda but I highly doubt you did. It will look like hell for a while but just fertilize it with a 4-1-2 ratio fertilizer and keep it watered. It should come back, bermuda is tough to kill off completely

I don't remember 2-4D ever killing Bermuda. I think it fertilizes it

Atrazine must be applied when the bermudagrass is 100-percent brown and dormant, or injury may result that will affect spring green-up.
