I mean MSMA has always been the best herbicide for bermuda. MSMA is an organic form of arsenic. However over time it become inorganic arsenic in your soil which is dangerous.

Yeah I use to use MSMA on my lawn years ago and the EPA put A ban on residential use

Did your golf course friend also tell you this? He should have.

MSMA is not labeled for residential use, the “label is the law”, so its use on residential lawns is a violation of federal law - not the best to post this recommendation on a public message board

We are sure you didn’t know this. Hence the chuckle emoji’s. This is why you don’t see any posters on here with good knowledge of herbicides and their use recommending MSMA use on residential Bermudagrass lawns.

Good ole MSMA. I used to use that stuff to keep my neighbors St. Augustine from invading my beautiful Bermuda lawn. They stopped selling it. Now I have a St. Augustine lawn.

3 x year, put a "hot dose" of MSMA out on your Bermuda. It will burn, but two weeks later put out 13-13-13 (before a rain). Boom beautiful yard!
